Yet, least happily any should be deceived, we say this meat is spiritual, and therefore it must be eaten by faith, and not with the mouth of our body. Augustine saith, Ut quid paras dentes & 1ventrem? creed, & manducasti. Why preparest thou thy teeth, and thy belly? believe, and thou hast eaten. And again, Nolite fauces parare, 2sed cor. Prepare not your jaws, but your heart. As material bread nourisheth our body, so doeth the body of Christ nourish our soul, and is therefore called bread. Deus panis 3intus est animae meae, saith Augustine God is the inward bread of my soul. For we receive him, and eat him, and live by him. But hereof hereafter more at large.
