1Cyprian in his sermon, ascribed unto him, of the Lords supper, saith: The author of this tradition said, that except we eat his flesh & drink his blood, we should have no life in us, instructing us with a spiritual lesson, & opening to us a way to understand so privy a thing, that we should know, that the eating is our dwelling in him, and our drinking is as it were an incorporation in him, being subject unto him in obedience, joined unto him in our wills, and united in our affections. The eating therefore of this flesh, is a certain hunger and desire to dwell in him.
