I could rehearse mo things out of Tertullian, but these seem sufficient for this present purpose. In sum, he thinketh that Angels have bodies, but yet strange bodies, and not their own. For their proper bodies (as he thinketh) pertain unto the spiritual kind. Secondly, he saith that those strange bodies which they take, are created either of nothing, or else of some matter which shall seem good unto God. Thirdly he affirmeth that they were true, perfect, and humane bodies, and not vain or feigned, but of a true flesh, and not of a flesh only appearing, so that of men they might be both touched and handled, to the end he might both remove dissimulation from God, and also confirm the verity of humane flesh in Christ. Whereby is concluded, that the humane senses were not ⟨p. 211⟩deceived concerning these things: as the Papists contend that the senses are deceived concerning the bread and wine of the Eucharist.

Wherby is concluded, that the humane senses wer not ⟨p. 211⟩deceaued concerning these thinges: as the Papistes contende that the senses are deceaued concerning the bread and wyne of the Eucharist.
But Origene in his book [Greek or Hebrew] (as he is cited of Jerome against John bishop of Jerusalem) thought far otherwise.
