Non dentes ad mordendum acuimus: sed Fide sincera Panem Sanctum frangimus: The Eating of this Flesh is a certain greediness, and a certain desire to tarry in Christ. That meat is unto our Flesh, the same is Faith unto our Souls. We sharpen not out teeth to bite withal: But with pure Faith we break this Holy Bread. To be short, how could S. Augustine say,
