Here some man will say that it is absurd,1 to ascribe unto Angels feigning & lying, as to feign them selves to be men, when as in very deed they are not men. Yea and this seemeth also to weaken the argument of Christ, which he used after his resurrection, to teach that he had a true body. Feel (saith he) and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. For the Apostles being afraid, thought that they had seen a spirit: wherefore Christ to put them out of doubt, bad them to handle and feel his body. But the Apostles might have said: That which we feel is a fancy: it seemeth in deed to be Christ, but peradventure it is not. For Angels also seem to have bodies, and to be touched and felt, when as yet in very deed they have no bodies. Also this sentence may debilitate the argument of the Fathers, as touching the flesh of Christ, against Marcion. For he did eat (say they) he drank, he was hungry, he slept, he did sweat. Wherefore he had a true and humane body. Unto these things might be answered: that these self same things have happened unto Angels, when as yet they had not bodies.

For the Apostles being afrayde, thought that they had seene a spirite: wherfore Christ to put them out of doubt, bad them to handle and feele his body. But the Apostles might haue said: That which we feele is a fansye: it seemeth in deede to be Christ, but peraduenture it is not. For Angels also seeme to haue bodies, and to be touched and felt, when as yet in very deede they haue no bodies. Also this sentence may debilitate the argument of the Fathers, as touching the flesh of Christ, against Marcion. For he did eate (say they) he dranke, he was hūgry, he slept, he did sweate. Wherfore he had a true and humane bodye. Vnto these thinges might be aunswered: that these selfe same thinges haue happened vnto Aungels, when as yet they had not bodyes.
