If

then
we

as

doe
testify

It

it

Peter
Martyr
The
diuels
can
in
very
deede
enter
into
a
body
made
before
,
and
formerly
existing
.
Sometimes
the
diuell
putteth
on
an
aery
body
:
but
that
he
doth
not
forme
or
quicken
as
the
soule
doth
our
body
:
neither
doth
he
make
it
to
passe
into
one
substance
with
himselfe
,
as
did
the
word
of
god
with
an
humane
bodie
:
for
diuels
can
put
of
those
bodies
,
when
they
please
.
The
diuel
,
as
saith
Augustine
,
fitteth
vnto
himselfe
some
body
as
it
were
a
garment
.
These
bodyes
which
the
spirits
doe
apply
vnto
themselues
,
be
aery
:
for
euen
as
water
is
congealed
into
yce
,
and
sometime
hardeneth
til
it
become
christall
,
euen
so
the
aer
wherewith
spirits
doe
cloath
themselues
,
is
thickned
,
so
that
it
becommeth
a
visible
body
.
But
if
it
may
seeme
that
the
aer
alone
is
not
sufficient
,
they
can
also
mingle
some
vapor
or
water
withall
,
whereof
colours
may
be
made
,
for
this
we
see
to
be
done
in
the
raynebow
.
The
spirits
doe
thicken
&
engrosse
these
bodies
,
by
straight
trussing
those
partes
togither
,
for
otherwise
they
might
not
be
seene
or
touched
.
And
yet
we
say
not
heere
,
that
the
diuell
doth
either
create
or
make
such
things
,
but
only
that
he
is
a
minister
seruing
vnto
nature
.
Euen
so
the
husbandman
,
when
he
tilleth
and
soweth
his
ground
,
&
the
gardiner
when
he
pruneth
and
delueth
a
vyne
,
doe
not
create
the
corne
or
wine
,
but
only
doe
helpe
nature
.
So
Augustine
saith
,
that
Iacob
did
not
bring
forth
the
colour
vpon
the
sheepe
,
but
did
only
rightly
apply
the
formes
&
shapes
.
But
it
seemeth
wonderfull
how
they
can
so
speedely
bring
these
things
to
passe
.
A
skilfull
artificer
will
worke
any
thing
both
handsomly
&
speedely
.
But
giue
the
same
instruments
vnto
an
ignorant
and
vnskilfullman
,
and
he
will
doe
it
neither
redelie
,
nor
yet
very
handsomely
.
Euen
so
any
spirit
,
as
a
skilfull
artificer
will
bring
more
to
passe
in
a
mynute
,
then
by
the
accustomed
order
of
nature
can
be
wrought
in
a
long
time
.
Peter
Martyr
vndertake
no
absolute
denyall
hereof
,
but
only
make
a
question
of
it
.
Peter
Lumbards
If
the
Diuel
assume
to
himselfe
a
body
,
it
is
either
a
true
body
,
or
a
phantasticall
body
,
one
created
some
time
before
,
or
then
newly
,
either
the
bodye
of
a
liuinge
man
,
or
of
a
dead
man
:
But
none
of
all
these
,
&
therefore
no
body
.
if
the
diuell
should
assume
the
carkas
of
a
man
lately
deceased
,
he
should
appeare
in
a
white
winding
sheete
:
windinge

M.
Deacon
mens
bodies
were
created
for
the
Lord
,
&
not
for
infernal
spirits
.
If
the
diuel
can
assume
to
him self
a
dead
body
,
then
we
must
needes
imagine
a
resurrection
of
bodies
before
the
generall
iudgment
,
and
that
performed
by
the
diuel
,
whereas
that
power
is
proper
to
god
.
Good
Angels
haue
appeared
in
assumed
bodies
,
and
therefore
wicked
Angels
may
doe
likewise
.
that
it
consisteth
not
of
things
essentially
alike
in
euery
respect
.
The
priuiledg
of
celestiall
Angels
,
is
not
incident
to
the
infernall
.
Neither
yet
are
they
equall
with
the
celestiall
Angels
in
knowledge
and
power
.
the
bodies
wherein
good
Angels
appeared
,
were
not
created

by
