He is spiritually a table, a garment, a house, a root, a head, flesh, milk, herbs, the way, the light, a sword, bread or drink: we dwell in him spiritually, we are clothed with him spiritually. We grow out of him, and walk upon him, and are made one with him, even members of his body, spiritually. We do spiritually eat him and drink him, we live by him spiritually, we eat him by hearing, and digest him by faith. Origen saith, appallatur panis vitae, ut habeat gustus 1animae quod degustet, he is called the bread of life that the soul may have whereon to feed.
