His woords be plaine,2 Quid est Carnaliter intelligere? Simpliciter, vt res dicuntur: neque aliud quippiam cogitare. what is it to vnderstand Carnally? It is to vnderstande plainely, euen as the thinges be vttered: and to thinke vpon nothinge els. Therefore S. Augustine saith, Figura est, praecipiens Passioni Domini communicandum esse,
