1And S. Augustine saith, that the Gospel is to be received or heard §8with no less fear and reverence, than the body of Christ. Whose words be these. Interrogo vos fratres & sorores, dicite mihi: Quid? vobis plus esse videtur, verbum dei an corpus Christi? Si vere vultis respondere, hoc utique dicere debetis, quod non sit minus verbum dei quam corpus Christi. Et ideo quanta solicitudine obseruamus, quando nobis corpus Christi ministratur, ut nihil ex ipso, de nostris manibus in terram cadat, tanta solicitudine obseruemus, ne verbum Dei quod nobis erogatur, dum aliquid aut cogitamus aut loquimur, de corde nostro pereat: quia non minus reus erit qui ⟨p. 149⟩verbum Dei negligenter audierit, quam ille qui corpus Christi in terram cadere sua negligentia permiserit.
