Again, if that that is eaten ministered the virtue of Christs passion and death (as the same sort show) then the virtue of his passion, death and redemption was distributed before it was begun. And if it feed the body unto the resurrection (as one certain man very unlearnedly affirmeth) than much more it should heal the body & discharge it of sickness.1 But Ireneus loveth otherwise to be understanded, when he writeth: that our bodies are nourished unto the resurrection by the body of Christ. For he showeth: that the hope of our resurrection is established by the resurrection of Christ. Lo, this is a pleasant figurative speech.

And yf it fede the body vnto the resurreccion (as one certayne man very vnlearnedly affirmeth) than muche more it shulde heale the body & discharge it of sycknesse.1 But Ireneus loueth otherwyse to be vnderstanded, whan he wryteth: that our bodyes are nurryshed vnto the resurreccion by the bodye of Christ. For he sheweth: that the hope of oure resurreccion is establyshed by the resurreccion of Christ. Loo, thys is a pleasaunt figuratiue speache.
