How they can wind themselves out of this error, which deny that the fathers did eat the true flesh of Christ, we see not: as though, because he was not as yet indeed existing in nature, therefore he was not existing in the assured promise of Christ & consequently could no• be apprehended and eaten by faith. For this proposition is general, and to all men, & at all times belongeth. Unless ye eat the flesh of the son of man, ye have no life in you. For life is not imparted, but only to those, which by faith, as members to the head, are joined to the flesh of Christ, & by the flesh to the spirit, or [Greek or Hebrew] To the word, which is life.
