velopment_, p. 357.

[85] It is by no means to be assumed that "spiritual" and
"corporeal" are exact equivalents of "immaterial" and
"material" in the minds of ancient speculators on
these topics. The "spiritual body" of the risen dead
(1 Cor. xv.) is not the "natural" "flesh and blood"
body. Paul does not teach the resurrection of the body
in the ordinary sense of the word "body"; a fact,
often overlooked, but pregnant with many consequences.

[86] Tertullian (_Apolog. Adv. Gentes_, cap. xxiii) thus
challenges the Roman authorities: let them bring a
possessed person into the presence of a Christian
before their tribunal, and if the demon does not
confess himself to be such, on the order of the
Christian, let the Christian be executed out of hand.

[87] See the expression of orthodox opinion upon the
"accommodation" subterfuge already cited above, p. 217.

[88] I quote the first edition (1843). A second edition
appeared in 1870. Tract 85 of the _Tracts for the
Times_ should be read with this _Essay_. If I were
called upon to compile a Primer of "Infidelity," I
think I should save myself trouble by making a
selection from these works, and from the _Essay on
Development_ by the same author.

[89] Yet, when it suits his purpose, as in the Introduction
to the _Essay on Development_, Dr. Newman can demand
strict evidence in religious questions as sharply as
any "infidel author;" and he can even profess to yield
to its force (_Essay on Miracles_, 1870; note, p. 391).

[90] Compare Tract 85, p. 110; "I am persuaded that were men
but consistent who oppose the Church doctrines as being
unscriptural, they would vindicate the Jews for
rejecting the Gospel."

[91] According to Dr. Newman, "This prayer [that of Bishop
Alexander, who begged God to 'take Arius away'] is said
to have been offered about 3 P.M. on the Saturday; that
same evening Arius was in the great square of
Constantine, when he was suddenly seized with
indisposition" (p. clxx). The "infidel" Gibbon seems to
have dared to suggest that "an option between poison
and miracle" is presented by this case;
