AS you have handled Origen before, even so do you handle Chrysostom. Wherefore I only refer the reader to look upon the words of Chrysostom recited in my book, who saith, that to understand the words of eating of Christs flesh, simply as they be spoken, is a carnal understanding. And then can it be no proper speech (as you say it is) because it can not be understand as the words be spoken, but must have an other understanding spiritually. Then followeth next Saint Augustine, of whom I write thus.
