Original Douay–Rheims AnnotationsJudges 13

The man hath appeared.

All ancient fathers and Catholic writers say, this was an Angel, which appeared in the form of a man, and it is plain by the text. ^[1] Yet some Protestants will have this person to be Christ, the eternal word of God ^[2]. Who afterwards became man. And nevertheless where by and by (v. 16.) he admonisheth Manue to offer sacrifice to God, they note that he sought not his own honour but God's, whose messenger he was: either plainly contradicting themselves, or else teaching Arianism, as though the Son of God were not God; or inferior to God the Father.

• 1 Protestants either contradict themselves, or teach Arianism.
