Did the Fathers eate the flesh of Christ, seeing that as yet it had no beeing actually and corporally in the nature of things?
Yes, because although it was not extant simply, or actually in regard of his bodily substance; yet in some respect, namely, as it was to bee giuen for the life of the world, it was that spirituall meat, which might no lesse bee eaten of them, then that Lambe which was slaine from the beginning of the world, is eaten now of vs by faithb 1.1.
2. Because Iesus Christ is the same to day, yesterday, & for euer Heb. 13.8. one and the same Sauiour of both Testaments, In whome alone it pleased the Father to gather together all things Ephe. 1.10.

3. Because those Fathers were indued with faith, which maketh those things to be which are hoped for, and doth demonstrate those things which are not seene. Heb. 11.1.
And therefore, although in those ancient times, the humane nature was not assumed of the word, yet it was presēt to the faith of the godly in former times, which did conioyne them then with Christ that should be borne. So that, that which had no bee∣ing as yet in the order of nature, yet neuerthelesse, had euer a be∣ing by the force and efficacie of faith. Therefore Christ saith; A∣braham sawe my day and reioyced. Ioh. 8, 56. But they did eate the flesh of Christ which should be giuen for them: wee eate it being alreadie giuen for vs. The times are changed, saith Augustine, but faith is not: shall bee giuen and is giuen, shall come, and is come;* 1.2these words differ, saith hee, but yet Christ is one and the same.
