On John
“This is the work of God, that you believe.”
On the Eucharist.
Augustine, in tract 25 on John, elucidating this, says: “THIS is therefore to eat the food which perisheth not, but which endureth unto life eternal. Why dost thou make ready teeth and belly? Believe, and thou hast eaten.” The Sacramentarians abuse these words for the confirmation of their heresy: what is to be answered to them, see below, Annotation 196.
