11 The other, which is sometime objected, is an argument of the Anthropomorphites. 1For they dispute, that therefore we ought not to believe, that God is without a body, because the scriptures do witness, 2that man was made after the image of God: which could not be, unless he had a body as one of ours. For else the image should have no likeness of that thing whereunto it is compared. And they think moreover, that the scripture is on their side; forasmuch as it doth oftentimes ascribe the members and parts of mans body unto God. 3But Jerome (as Augustine in his epistle to Fortunatianus citeth him) scorneth that argument of theirs wittily and learnedly. If we allow this reason (saith he) we may easily conclude, that a man hath wings, because the scripture hath sometime attributed them unto God, unto whose image it is manifest that man was made.
