As the Spouse doth not marry with the Lands and Goods, but with the Man himself, and being partaker of him, is made 1partaker of them: so the Faithful do not only marry with Christ's benefits, but with Christ himself, and being partakers of him, they are made partakers of his benefits, for Christ may not in any wise be divided from his benefits, no more than the Sun from his light.

It is said, The Father gave us his Son, and so the Son giveth us 1himself. For as the bread is a sign of his body, so the giving of the bread is a sign of the giving of his body. Thus he lieth before us like a Pelican, which letteth her young ones suck her blood: so that we may say, the Lord invited us to Supper, and he himself was our Meat.
