But Origene in those words marketh not that Paul calleth it a spiritual body, not because it should utterly be changed into a spirit, but because it should have spiritual conditions, namely incorruption, and most clear brightness. But because he perceived that the body of Christ, which after his resurrection he offered unto his Disciples to be touched and to be felt, was against his doctrine, therefore he saith: Let not the body of Christ deceive you, because it had many singular privileges, which are not granted unto other bodies. Farther, that by this dispensation he might prove that he verily was risen, he would after his resurrection have a true body, not that other bodies in the resurrection should be like. But he showed the nature of his spiritual body in Emmaus, when he vanished away from the sight of his Disciples. And an other time when he entered to his Disciples, the doors being shut.
But Origene in those woordes marketh not that Paule calleth it a spiritual bodye, not bicause it shoulde vtterlye bee chaunged into a spirite, but bycause it should haue spiritual condicions, namely incorruption, and most cleare brightnes. But bycause he perceaued that the body of Christ, which after his resurrection he offered vnto hys Disciples to be touched and to be felt, was against hys doctrine, therefore he sayth: Let not the bodye of Christe deceaue you, bycause it had manye synguler priuiledges, whiche are not graunted vnto other bodyes. Farther, that by this dispensacion he might prooue that he verelye was rysen, he would after hys resurrection haue a true bodye, not that other bodies in the resurrection shoulde be lyke. But he shewed the nature of his spirituall body in Emaus, when he vanished awaye from the sight of hys Disciples. And an other tyme when he entred to his Disciples, the doores being shut.
Jerome thus opposeth himself against these things:1 If Christ (saith he) after his resurrection did eat in very deed, then had he also a true body: but if not, how proved he by a false thing the truth of his body? But in that he vanished away from the sight of the Disciples, that was not by the nature of the body, but by the divine power. For in Nazareth when the people would have stoned him, he withdrew himself from their eyes. And that which might be done of a Conjurer, shall we think that the Son of God cannot do?
