but as he suffered the wrath of God and pangs of hell upon the cross, and as he died & was buried; for our life cometh out of Christs death. III. Concl. He is this food, not in regard of his godhead, for that no ⟨p. 129⟩creature can receive or apply to his justification, or sanctification: but in regard of his manhood, subsisting in the person of the Son of God. Christs flesh profiteth nothing, severed from the godhead: but yet his body and blood have this virtue, to be true spiritual food, because they are the flesh and blood of that person which is God. IV. Concl. Christ is not a bodily food to be received with the hand, eaten with the mouth, & digested in the stomach: but he is a spiritual food, to be received, applied, & digested by faith• And being so received he doth preserve the soul unto eternal life. This faith is that whereby a man is enabled to believe that Christ crucified is his Christ. And thus doth he become our spiritual Manna, when by true faith we assure our selves that he suffered for our sins, and rose again for our righteousness.

Christs flesh profiteth nothing, seuered from the godhead: but yet his body and bloud haue this vertue, to be true spirituall food, because they are the flesh and bloud of that person which is God. IV. Concl. Christ is not a bodily food to be receiued with the hād, eaten with the mouth, & digested in the stomacke: but he is a spirituall food, to be receiued, applied, & digested by faith• And being so receiued he doth preserue the soule vnto eternall life. This faith is that wherby a man is enabled to beleeue that Christ crucified is his Christ. And thus doth he become our spirituall Mannah, when by true faith wee assure our selues that he suffered for our sinnes, and rose againe for our righteousnesse.
