Likewise saithe Humbertus,1 Christus non tantùm Benedixit Panem, & reseruavit frangendū in crastinum: nec fregit tantùm, & reposuit: sed fractum statim distribuit: Christ did not only Bless the Bread, and reserve it to be broken the next day: nor did he only Break it, and lay it up: but being broken straight way he delivered it.
