Therefore wicked men, and such as believe not, receive not the body of Christ: they have no portion in it. So saith Orig Est cibus verus, quem nemo malus potest edere, &c. The body 1of Christ, is the true food, which no evil man can eat: For if the evil man could eat the body of our Lord, it should not be written, he that eateth this bread shall live for ever. Ambrose saith, Hunc panem qui manducaverit, non esuriet: 2est esca sanctorum: non morietur morte peccatoris, quia remissio peccatorum est.

Who 3so disagreeth from Christ, neither eateth his bread, nor drinketh his blood: although he daily receive the sacrament of so great a thing without difference, to the judgement of his presumption. And againe, Qui in me non manet, &c. He that abideth not in me, and in 4whom I do not abide, let him not say, or think, that he either eateth my body, ⟨image 162⟩or drinketh my blood. And again, Caecus interius 5panem Christumnon videt. Et beatus est? Hoc non dicet, nisi pariter caecus. He that is blind in his heart within, seeth not Christ that is our bread. And is he blessed? No man will say so, unless it be one, as blind as he.
Therefore wicked men, and suche as beleeue not, receiue not the bodie of Christe: they haue no portion in it. So saith Orig Est cibus verus, quem nemo malus potest edere, &c. The bodie 1of Christ, is the true food, which no euil man can eate: For if the euil man coulde eate the body of our Lord, it should not be writtē, he that eateth this bread shal liue for euer. Ambrose saith, Hūc panem qui māducauerit, non esuriet:
