9 When he hath taught the same out of Cyril, 1and by a similitude, that the flesh of Christ is by that means lively: thereupon he showeth what our Communion is with him, as the father hath life in him self: so he hath also given to the Son to have life in himself: whosoever then enjoyeth the partaking of his flesh, enjoyeth also the partaking of life, for as out of a fountain water is sometime drunk, and sometime drawn, and sometime is conveyed by furrows to the watering of ⟨p. 247⟩grounds, which yet of it self doth not overflow into so many uses, but from the very spring it self, with which everlasting flowing yieldeth and ministereth unto it, from time to time, new abundance: so the flesh of Christ is like a rich and unwasted fountain, which poureth into us the life springing from the Godhead into it self.
