Origen in the 11th Cap. sup. Levit. saith,—That there is also, even in the four Gospels, and not only in the Old Testament, a Letter, meaning a Literal sense, which killeth; for if thou follow, saith he, the Letter in that saying—Except ye eat ⟨p. 29⟩the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink his Blood, &c. This Letter doth kill.—If in that place the Letter doth kill, wherein is commanded the eating of Christs Flesh, then surely in those words of Christ, wherein Christ commandeth us to eat his Body, the literal sense thereof doth kill; for it is no less Crime, but even the same, and all one in the literal sense, to eat Christs Body, and to eat Christs Flesh. Wherefore if the one doth kill, unless it be understood Figuratively and Spiritually, then the other also doth kill likewise.
