26 Howbeit, 1some think that those are no bodies, but are only certain imaginations in the minds of men. But others answer, that that cannot generally be true; for that they, which be mocked by such visions, are deprived of their senses. But neither is this certain; for they that have the frenzy, are so deceived many times, and yet they can use their senses. For they fear, they run away, they be troubled in spirit, and they cry out. Others say, that they be no phantasies, because they be seen of a great multitude of men together; now it is hard to deceive a great many together. For angels were seen of the whole households of Lot and Abraham. 2But the holy scriptures prove, 3without all doubt, that these were not vain imaginations only: for the devil did in very deed enter into the serpent, to the intent he might entice Eve to be deceived. Which thing the curse, 4wherewith the serpent was cursed, doth sufficiently declare; Upon thy belly shalt thou crawl, and the seed of the woman shall tread down thy head. For that is true, not only as touching Christ and the devil; but also as touching men and the serpent. And further (as I said before) the angels offered themselves to be seen of Abraham and of Lot.
26 Howbeit, 1some thinke that those are no bodies, but are onlie certeine imaginations in the minds of men. But others answer, that that cannot generallie be true; for that they, which be mocked by such visions, are depriued of their senses. But neither is this certeine; for they that haue the phrensie, are so deceiued manie times, and yet they can vse their senses. For they feare, they run awaie, they be troubled in spirit, and they crie out. Others saie, that they be no phantasies, bicause they be séene of a great multitude of men togither; now it is hard to deceiue a great manie togither. For angels were séene of the whole housholds of Lot and Abraham. 2
