10 But yet will I here bring forth a couple of arguments, which are wont to be objected against those things, that I have defined. We said at the beginning, that the essence of GOD cannot therefore be comprehended by sense, because his nature is not corporal; but all the ancient fathers seem not to have believed this: for Tertullian against Praxias writeth, 1that God is a body; and divers times he affirmeth •he same in other places, yea and in his little book De anima, he saith that our souls are bodies; and, which seemeth more strange, he laboureth to prove the same by many reasons. And in his book De dogmatibus ecclesiasticis, the 11. chapter; Every kind of creature is declared to be a body; namely, the very angels. For there is nothing that filleth all things, as God doth, but all things are described by places certain; as appeareth by the soul, which is shut up within his own body.
10 But yet will I here bring foorth a couple of arguments, which are woont to be obiected against those things, that I haue defined. We said at the beginning, that the essence of GOD cannot therefore be comprehended by sense, bicause his nature is not corporall; but all the ancient fathers séeme not to haue beléeued this: for Tertullian against Praxias writeth, 1that God is a bodie; and diuers times he affirmeth •he same in other places, yea and in his little booke De anima, he saith that our soules are bodies; and, which séemeth more strange, he laboreth to prooue the same by manie reasons. And in his booke De dogmatibus ecclesiasticis, the 11. chapter; Euerie kind of creature is declared to be a bodie; namelie, the verie angels. For there is nothing that filleth all things, as God dooth, but all things are described by places certeine; as appéereth by the soule, which is shut vp within his owne bodie.
