Chrysostom saith, Dents inserimus in earnes Christi. We thrust our teeth into the flesh of 1Christ. And Cipriā, Intra ipsa vulnera redemptoris nostri linguam figimus. We fasten our tongue within the wounds of our redeemer. These be vehement and spiritual kind of speeches, to raise up our senses, and to teach us to feel the ⟨image 122⟩unspeakable sweetness of this heavenly feeding.

Likewise said Bernard, Desidero totum Christum videre et tangere, et non id solum, sed accedere 1usque ad sanctum vulnus lateris eius, ostium arcae quod factum est in latere, ut intrem totus usque ad cor Jesu. I desire to behold whole Christ, & to touch him: & not so only, but also to come to the holy wound of his side, which is the door that was made in the side of the ark, that I may enter wholly, and go in, even unto the heart of Jesus. Thus are we taught to lift up our hearts. and to seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God. Why should we then follow the fleshly error of the Capernaites: why should we be so insensible in heavenly things: Let us have some feeling hereof in our heart Solomon sayeth, The wise mans eyes are in his head, but the fool walketh in darkness.
