He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
The words which I speak unto you are spirit and life.
CHAPTER I.
With how great reverence Christ ought to be received.
The voice of the disciple.
THESE are thy words, O Christ, the everlasting truth.
Because therefore they are thine, and true, they are all thankfully and faithfully to be received by me.
They are thine, and thou hast spoken them; and they are mine also, because thou hast spoken them for my salvation.
I willingly receive them from thy mouth, that they may be the deeper imprinted in my heart.
