8.3 Manna. Carnem Christi, qua refecti ad veram promissionis terram veniamus. Quadraginta annis manna comedimus, id est, toto tempore nostro, quod quatuor vicissitudinibus volvitur, Dominici corporis sacramento pascimur. Non in solo pane vivit homo, sed in omni, etc. Spiritalis cibus commendatur, unde animæ in æternum victuræ satiantur. Manna de cœlo datum carnem Christi significat, qui ait: Ego sum panis vitæ, hic est panis qui de cœlo descendit Joan. 6., quia Verbum caro factum est, et habitavit in nobis. Qui manducat hanc carnem, habet vitam æternam. Non in solo pane, etc. Significat geminam naturæ nostræ substantiam. Homo enim ex anima et corpore constat: corpus, quod ex terra est, terreno alitur cibo; anima vero vivit de verbo Dei; spiritum vero hominis vivificat spiritus Dei, si tamen homo est in corpore Ecclesiæ, id est Christi, et in fide Filii Dei. Ideo addit: Vestimentum ejus vetustate non deficere; quia novi hominis conversatio in novitate vitæ debet permanere, cujus pes non est subtritus, quia gressus operum ejus servatur illæsus: Quia novit Dominus viam justorum, et iter impiorum peribit Psal. 1..
