1Further, whereas some do object, that the body of Christ came forth of the sepulchre being close shut; 2that also is not of necessity to be believed: but it may be thought that the stone was rolled away before he came out. And least any should think that I devise this of my self, let him read the 83. epistle of Leo unto the bishops of Palestine; The flesh (saith he) of Christ which came out of the sepulchre, the stone being rolled away, &c. Now to return to the purpose. 3Because I said that the bodies of Angels, which they take unto them, may be thought either to have been fantastical or spiritual, or else substantial and very humane bodies; and that the two first opinions are rejected: it now resteth, that the bodies of Angels, wherein they show themselves to be men, are very true and humane bodies: and this only I affirm to be true, seeing Angels were in such sort seen, as they wrestled with men, and offered their feet to be washed. 4And I judge it not lawful to say, that mens senses were there deceived, seeing the things were outwardly done. I deny not indeed, but that sometimes there happened to the prophets visions imaginative, when they said that they saw God or the cherubims, or such other like things. For inasmuch as that happened often in their mind or power imaginative, it might be done by forms, images, and visions.
