And touching Christs Nativity, S. Bernard saith,1 Corpus Christi de meo est, & meum est: Paruulus enim natus est nobis, & Filius datus est nobis. The Bodie of Christ is of my Body, and is now become mine: For a Babe is borne unto us: and a Son is given unto us. So saith S. Basil, Participes facti sumus Verbi, & Sapientiae per Incarnationem, & Sensibilem vitam. Carnem enim, & Sanguinem appellavit omnem illam Mysticam Conuersationem.2 We are partakers of the word, and of the wisdom (which is Christ) by his Incarnation, and by his Sensible life. For Flesh, and Blood he called all his Mystical Conversation. *So saith Gregorius Nyssenus, Corpus Christi est omnis humana Natura, cui admixtus est. His Bodie is all mankind, whereunto he is mingled. And thus, Christ being in the womb of the Blessed virgin, became Flesh of our Flesh, & Bone of our Bones: And in that sense S. John saith, Verbum Caro factum est, & habitavit in nobis: The word was made Flesh, and dwelt in us. And therefore Christ calleth him self the Vine, and us the Branches: S. Paul calleth Christ the Head, and us the Body: which be names of most near, and Natural Conjunction.4
And touchinge Christes Natiuitie, S. Bernarde saith,1 Corpus Christi de meo est, & meum est: Paruulus enim natus est nobis, & Filius datus est nobis. The Bodie of Christ is of my Bodie, and is nowe become mine: For a Babe is borne vnto vs: and a Sonne is geuen vnto vs. So saith S. Basile, Participes facti sumus Verbi, & Sapientiae per Incarnationem, & Sensibilem vitam. Carnem enim, & Sanguinem appellauit omnem illam Mysticam Conuersationem.2 We are partakers of the woorde, and of the wisdome (whiche is Christe) by his Incarnation, and by his Sensible life. For Fleashe, and Bloude he called al his Mystical Conuersation. *So saith Gregorius Nyssenus, Corpus Christi est omnis humana Natura, cui admixtus est. His Bodie is al mankinde, whereunto he is mingled. And thus, Christe beinge in the wombe of the Blissed virgin, became Fleashe of our Fleashe, & Boane of our Boanes: And in that sense S. Iohn saith, Verbum Caro factum est, & habitauit in nobis: The woorde was made Fleashe, and dwelt in vs. And therefore Christe calleth him selfe the Uine, and vs the Branches: S. Paule calleth Christ the Heade, and vs the Bodie: whiche be names of most neare, and Natural Coniunction.
