For he which said, he that eateth my flesh hath eternal life: the same said, He that eateth me, he shall live by me. And he which writ, his blood washeth us from sin: the same expounding himself saith, Christ shall wash us from our sins by his blood. And they which taught that Christs flesh was to be worshipped: they also expressed the cause, namely, not because it was flesh, but because it was flesh of God: and therefore that Christians do worship not flesh properly. but God incarnate.
