Now the body wherein Christ suffered, died and was buried: was a true humane body, visible, palpable, circumscribed. Therefore Christ after his resurrection had and retained no body but that which was circumscribed in a certain place, and wheresoever it was and is, might and may be seen and handled.

Add also, that the Apostle carefully discoursing of the qualities, with which our bodies being raised up to eternal life shall be endued, he saith not, that they shall not be subject either to the eye, or to the touch, or not be circumscribed in a definite place, but he rehearseth only incorruption, glory, and power, as is the agility thereof, and that they shall rise spiritual, not that the corporal substance shall be changed into an incorporeal, but that they shall be (as the greeks call it) immortal, and shall be full of the holy spirit dwelling and working in them. The Apostle therefore taught that these are qualities never to be separated from the bodies, namely that they shall be circumscribed, visible, palpable. Wherefore neither did Christs body after his resurrection put of these qualities.
