Neither is this distinction good, because as the same Author tells us: _Non etiam in re differunt spatium, sive locus internus, substantia corporea in eo contenta, sed tantum in modo, quo à nobis concipi soleat_. 4. D^r _Moore_ granteth that spirits are substances and have extension, and we affirm that nothing can be so but what is Corporeal, and consequently must be in place circumscriptively, and therefore the fancy of a definitive place, is meerly a fictitious foppery, without ground or reason. [Sidenote: _Object. 1._] [Sidenote: 1 Timoth. 6. 16.] [Sidenote: Hebr. 1. 3.] [Sidenote: 1 Tim. 6. 13.] [Sidenote: Job 34. 14, 15.] [Sidenote: _De Lithias._ _l._ _c._ 8. _p._ 70.] And now let us examine the objections that are usually brought against this opinion, the strongest of which is to this purpose; that if Angels be Corporeal, then of necessity they must be mortal, alterable and destructible; to which I answer. 1. Because no Creaturely nature is or can be immortal, _per se & ab intrinsecâ & propriâ naturâ_, for God only is so as saith the Text, ὁ μόνος ἔχων ἀθανασίαν, _Who only hath immortality_; Therefore the Angels whether corporeal or incorporeal, are not immortal, neither by themselves or their intrinsick nature, either (as the Schools speak) _à parte ante, vel à parte post_, because God only is so, exclusively considered in regard of any Creature, and so the objection is of no force. 2. The Corporeity of Angels doth not at all hinder their immortality _à parte post_, for as God is only immortal in respect of Essence, Eternity, Infinity and Independency, so Angels nor any Creatures, are immortal in that point or respect, but only in regard of their dependency upon God, who by his conservative power doth keep them by Christ, that for the time or duration to come, they shall not die, perish, or be annihilated; and this he can and doth as well perform if they be corporeal as spiritual, even as he doth preserve and conserve the bodies of the Saints in their Graves until the general Resurrection, and in the World to come doth keep them in immortality; though they be changed and made spiritual bodies, yet they remain bodies still. For it is he _that sustaineth all things by the power of his word_; And it is he _that doth vivifie or quicken all things: and if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath, all flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust_. So that the objection is of no validity, because no Creature is kept in perpetual duration, _à parte post, ab intrinsecâ naturâ, sed ex causis conservantibus_, which is the goodwill, benignity, and blessed influence of _Jehovah_, and not from any internal creaturely power. 3. Every spiritual and incorporeal substance that is created, is as annihilable by the prime power that created it, as is a Corporeal created substance. And on the contrary, a Corporeal or material substance is no more capable of annihilation by
