The words of Cyrillus be likewise true. Christs Flesh is joined with the Godhead, and therefore it Naturally giveth life. 1And, when Christ said, I will raise him up at the last day, He meant, even as Cyrillus saith, that his Flesh, that we eat, shall raise us up at the last day. For, what soever favour, or mercy we have from God, we have it only by the Flesh of Christ. S. Augustine saith, Mortalis factus est Immortalis,2 ut, peracta sua Mort, nos faceret Immortals. He that is Immortal, became Mortal, that through his Death he might make us Immortal. Again he saith, Nos non efficeremur participes Divinitatis eius,3 nisi ipse factus fuisset particeps Mortalitatis nostrae. We could not be partakers of his Godhead, onlesse he had been partaker of our Mortality. Al these words be true, as containing nothing else, but the exposition of these words of Christ, He that eateth my Flesh, and drinketh my Blood, shall live for ever.
The woordes of Cyrillus be likewise true. Christes Fleashe is ioyned with the Godhead, and therefore it Naturally geueth life. 1And, when Christe saide, I wil raise him vp at the last daie, He meante, euen as Cyrillus saith, that his Fleashe, that we eate, shal raise vs vp at the last daie. For, what soeuer fauoure, or mercie we haue from God, we haue it onely by the Fleashe of Christe. S. Augustine saith, Mortalis factus est Immortalis,2 ut, peracta sua Morte, nos faceret Immortales. He that is Immortal, became Mortal, that through his Death he might make vs Immortal. Againe he saith, Nos non efficeremur participes Diuinitatis eius,3 nisi ipse factus fuisset particeps Mortalitatis nostrae. We coulde not be partakers of his Godheade, onlesse he had benne partaker of our Mortalitie. Al these woordes be true, as conteininge nothinge elles, but the exposition of these woordes of Christe, He that eateth my Fleashe, and drinketh my Bloude, shal liue for euer.
