27 There is no need at all to attribute unto devils and angels those vital parts; namely, the lungs, hart, and liver: for they do not therefore put on bodies, to the end they may quicken them, but only that they may be seen, and therefore they use them as instruments. 1But thou wilt say that they do eat, and that Christ, when he was risen from death, did eat with his disciples. Augustine in his 94 epistle Ad Deo gratias, quaest. 1. saith, that In Christ that eating was of no necessity, but of power, and he useth this similitude. For in one sort (saith he) doth the earth suck up waters, and in another sort the sun-beams; 2the earth of necessity, but the sun by a certain strength and power: even so (saith he) the bodies raised up from death, if they could not take meat, they should not be perfectly happy. Again also, if they should have need of it, they should be unperfect: wherefore in that Christ did eat, it was not of necessity, but of power; and he did eat with his disciples, least they should have thought that their eyes were deceived: and so we say, that the angels also and spirits do eat.
27 There is no néed at all to attribute vnto diuels and angels those vitall parts; namelie, the lungs, hart, and liuer: for they doo not therefore put on bodies, to the end they may quicken them, but onlie that they may be séene, and therefore they vse them as instruments. 1But thou wilt saie that they doo eate, and that Christ, when he was risen from death, did eate with his disciples. Augustine in his 94 epistle Ad Deo gratias, quaest. 1. saith, that In Christ that eating was of no necessitie, but of power, and he vseth this similitude. For in one sort (saith he) doth the earth sucke vp waters, and in another sort the sunne-beames; 2the earth of necessitie, but the sunne by a certaine strength and power: euen so (saith he) the bodies raised vp from death, if they could not take meate, they should not be perfectlie happie. Againe also, if they should haue néed of it, they should be vnperfect: wherefore in that Christ did eate, it was not of necessitie, but of power; and he did eate with his disciples, least they should haue thought that their eies were deceiued: and so we saie, that the angels also and spirits do eate.
