Themselves with rev'rence leave the place,

But still in both one Christ Caro cibus, sanguis potus,

he is.

The mouth receiving never makes Nor wound, nor breach in what it takes.

Let one, or many thousands

Dividers here, singly he Receives no less, all they

Nor leave they both less than before. Tho' in itself this sov'reign feast

Be all the same to every guest;

Yet from the same life-giving bread,

The good find life, the bad sink dead. Nor is it love but direful

sin, Which thus from life can death draw in. When the blest signs thou

broke shall see, Hold but thy faith entire as

Manet tamen Christus totus

Sub utraque specie.
A sumente non concisus,

Non confractus, non divisus

Sumit unus, sumunt mille;

Quantum isti, tantum ille;

Nec sumptus consumitur.

Sumunt boni, sumunt mali,

The children's bread, the Vere panis filiorum bridegroom's wine,

Not to be cast to dogs or
swine.

Behold the final sacrifice,
On which all figures fix'd

their eye.
The ransom'd Isaac, and
his ram,
The Manna, and the Pas-
chal lamb.

Jesus, master just and

true,

Our food, and faithful shep-
herd too!
From dangers all vouchsafe
to keep,
And feed us, as thy darling
sheep.

O let that love, which maketh thee Mix with our low mortality,

Non mittendus canibus.

Bone pastor, panis vere,
Jesu nostri miserere:

Tu nos pasce, nos tuere,

Tu nos bona fac videre

In terra viventium.
Tu qui cuncta scis, et vales,

Qui nos pascis hic mortales,

T that time: Jesus said to the multitude of the Jews: My flesh is meat indeed; and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him. As the Father,

who liveth, hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, shall also live by me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers He that eateth this bread,

did eat Manna, and died. shall live for ever. Credo. Lev. xxi.
