A book of verses underneath the bough, A jug of wine, a loaf of bread-and thou.

There is a communion of more than our bodies when bread is broken and wine drunk.

Drink not the third glass, which thou canst not tame, when once it is within thee.

What I do and what I dream include thee, as the wine must taste of its own grapes.

Wine is the drink of the gods, milk the drink of babes, tea the drink of women, and water the drink of beasts.

And I pray thee, loving Jesus, that as Thou hast graciously given me to drink in with delight the words of Thy knowledge, so Thou wouldst mercifully grant me to attain one day to Thee, the fountain of all wisdom and to appear forever before Thy face.

Answerest thou nothing? Behold how many things they witness against thee.

I think that at the supper I neither receive flesh nor blood, but bread and wine; which bread when it is broken, and the wine when it is drunken, put me in remembrance how that for my sins the body of Christ was broken, and his blood shed on the cross.

I am God's wheat, and I shall be ground by the teeth of beasts, that I may become the pure bread of Christ.
