Do they depart from the in to the draught / as other meats do?1 Nay forsooth said I for other meats do only come to nourish the body / and to depart in to the draught. But this meat that I here receive / is spiritual meat / received with faith / and nourisheth us everlastingly / both body and soul / and never entereth into the draught. And even as before the outward eyen do see the bread / and yet the inward eyen do not regard that or think upon it. So like wise the outward man dyges•yth the bread / & casteth it in to the draught. And yet the inward man doth not regard that nor think upon yt• But thinketh on the thing it self that is signified / by that bread.
Doo they departe from the in to the draughte / as other meates doo?1 Nay forsouthe sayd I for other meathes doe ōly come to nouryshe the body / and to departe in to the draughte. But thys meate that I here receaue / ys spyrytuall meate / receyuid with faythe / ād nourysheth vs euerlastyngly / bothe body and sowle / ād neuer enterith into the draughte. And euē as before the outwarde eyn doe see the breade / and yet the inwarde eyn doe not regarde that or thyncke apon yt. So lyke wise the outwarde man dyges•yth the breade / & castythe yt in to the draughte. And yet the inwarde man dothe not regarde that nor thyncke apon yt• But thynkythe on the thyng yt sellfe that ys sygnyfyed / by that breade.
