And S. Ambrose saith, that Jesus is the bread which is the meat of saints and that he that taketh this bread, dyeth not a sinners death. For this bread is the remission of sins. 1And in other book to him entitled, he writeth thus. This bread of life which came down from heaven, doth minister everlasting life, and who soever eateth this bread, shall not dye for ever, and is the body of Christ. And yet in an other book set forth in his name, he saith on this wise: He that did eat Man dyed, but he that eateth this body, shall have remission of his sins, and shall not dye for ever.
