S. Paul saith of Melchizedek, He was without 1father, & without mother, without kindred, & hath neither beginning of his days, neither end of his life. These words are plain: Yet indeed he had father and mother, and was a man, and was borne, and died as other men. So he saith, The rock was Christ. So Moses 2saith, The life of all flesh, is his blood. And so is Christ called a Lamb, a lion, a worm, a way, a bridegroom, a head, a door, a vine, the light, bread, water, a garment.

These speeches, and infinite others the like, are plain, open, and evident: yet are they not true, as yt words sound them, & literally. For Christ is not a Lamb in substance & nature, but a spiritual Lamb. So is he a spiritual garment, spiritual light, spiritual water, and spiritual bread.
