And that he is thy Root, again he saith, I am the Vine, and you are the Branches. So saith Gregorius Nyssenus, 1Christ unto the strong is strong meat: unto the weaker sort he is Herbs: and unto infants he is Milk. So saith Origen, Ne mireris: Quia verbum Dei & Caro dicitur, & Panis, & Lac, & Olera, & pro mensura credentium, vel possibilitate sumentium diversè nominatur. 2Marvel not: For the word of God is called both Flesh, and Bread, and Milk, and Herbs: and, according to the measure of the believers, and the possibility of the receivers, is diversely named. And likewise Gregory Nazianzene, 3Quemadmodum Dominus noster Jesus Christus appellatur Vita, Via, Panis, Vitis, Lux vera, & mille alia, sic etiam appellatur Gladius. Like as our Lord Jesus Christ is called the Life, the Way, the Bread, the Vine, the true Light, and a thousand things else, so is he also called the Sword. Now as Christ is Bread, even so, in like manner of speech he is a Sword, and none otherwise. Thus is Christ unto us a Spiritual Table, a Spiritual Apparel, a Spiritual House, a Spiritual Head, a Spiritual Root, Spiritual Meat, Spiritual Herbs, Spiritual Milk, Spiritual Flesh, Life, Way, Bread, Vine, and Light. And to this end Christ saith, My Words be Sprite, and life.
And that he is thy Roote, againe he saith, I am the Vine, and you are the Branches. So saith Gregorius Nyssenus, 1Christe vnto the stronge is stronge meate: vnto the weaker sorte he is Hearbes: and vnto infantes he is Milke. So saith Origen, Ne mireris: Quia verbum Dei & Caro dicitur, & Panis, & Lac, & Olera, & pro mensura credentium, vel possibilitate sumentium diuersè nominatur. 2Marueile not: For the woorde of God is called both Fleashe, and Breade, and Milke, and Hearbes: and, accordinge to the measure of the beleuers, and the possibilitie of the receiuers, is diuersely named. And likewise Gregorie Nazianzene, 3Quemadmodum Dominus noster Iesus Christus appellatur Vita, Via, Panis, Vitis, Lux vera, & mille alia, sic etiam appellatur Gladius. Like as our Lorde Iesus Christe is called the Life, the Waie, the Breade, the Vine, the true Light, and a thousande thinges els, so is he also called the Swearde. Nowe as Christe is Breade, euen so, in like manner of speache he is a Swearde, and none otherwise. Thus is Christe vnto vs a Spiritual Table, a Spiritual Apparel, a Spiritual Howse, a Spiritual Heade, a Spiritual Roote, Spiritual Meate, Spiritual Herbes, Spiritual Milke, Spiritual Fleashe, Life, Waie, Breade, Uine, and Light. And to this ende Christe saith, My Woordes be Sprite, and life.
