Then we see that Christ was no spirit, neither was his body a fantastical body, for if he were a spirit Simeon could not see him, & if his body were a fantastical body, then could not he have embraced him. Therefore we see that the words of the Scripture are true, which saith, that Christ was perfect man in all things, sin only excepted. For he sometime wept, as at the death of Lazarus, and likewise over Jerusalem. Sometime 1he thirsted, as at the well where the woman of Samaria disputed with him: & also sometime eat, as at Martha's house, as also among Publicans and sinners, which in every thing showed him self to be perfect man.
