Christ and Christ in him. j And by this if any man does not abide j In Christ is meant that he does not spiritually eat his flesh and drink his blood, although carnally and sensibly j be receives the body and blood of , Christ on his tongtfe. Nay, even, he j ' eats and drinks this sacrament to his own damnation, because, though un- j clean, he dares to approach the sacra- I 1 f mental species, which no one but the . j ! tlean worthily receive, as it is written: f blessed are the clean of heart, for they f ! shall see God." j j |
