 1    I, 6   |     apostle: "I have fed you with milk (as children in Christ),
 2    I, 6   |        good land which flows with milk and honey." A very great
 3    I, 6   |           is characterized by the milk is the beginning of faith
 4    I, 6   |           distinguished by infant milk? Does not this, as explaining
 5    I, 6   |      effect: "I have fed you with milk in Christ; " and after a
 6    I, 6   |           nourishing substance of milk swelling out from breasts
 7    I, 6   |      nourish new-born children on milk, so do I also by the Word,
 8    I, 6   |           I also by the Word, the milk of Christ, instilling into
 9    I, 6   |        nutriment. Thus, then, the milk which is perfect is perfect
10    I, 6   |           Wherefore also the same milk and honey were promised
11    I, 6   |           the Lord again promises milk to the righteous, that the
12    I, 6   |       figuratively represented as milk. Something like this Homer
13    I, 6   |   Wherefore also I have given you milk to drink," he says; meaning,
14    I, 6   |      therefore, "I have given you milk to drink," has he not indicated
15    I, 6   |           in the Word, who is the milk? And what follows next, "
16    I, 6   |       attaching this sense to the milk of the babes? And if we
17    I, 6   |        when He speaks also of the milk of the flock? And to this
18    I, 6   |     expression, "I have given you milk to drink, and not given
19    I, 6   |      something different from the milk, but the same in substance.
20    I, 6   |         Word is fluid and mild as milk, or solid and compact as
21    I, 6   |          universally diffused, as milk; and as meat, faith, which
22    I, 6   |      would oppose, saying that by milk is meant the first lessons--
23    I, 6   |         kind of liquid flesh; and milk is the sweeter and finer
24    I, 6   |           and change the blood to milk in a manner analogous to
25    I, 6   |           sweeter, or whiter than milk. In every respect, accordingly,
26    I, 6   |        has been also exhibited as milk. Milk being thus provided
27    I, 6   |           also exhibited as milk. Milk being thus provided in parturition,
28    I, 6   |        not like fountains full of milk, flowing in ready prepared;
29    I, 6   |           the nutriment, form the milk in themselves, and discharge
30    I, 6   |         the first-poured drink of milk by the same name as that
31    I, 6   |       becoming mothers, discharge milk. But the Lord Christ, the
32    I, 6   |       mother, when alone, had not milk, because alone she was not
33    I, 6   |         she nurses them with holy milk, viz., with the Word for
34    I, 6   |  childhood. Therefore she had not milk; for the milk was this child
35    I, 6   |         she had not milk; for the milk was this child fair and
36    I, 6   |  sanctified. The nutriment is the milk of the Father, by which
37    I, 6   |     supplies us children with the milk of love, and those only
38    I, 6   |        new-born babes, desire the milk of the word, that ye may
39    I, 6   |      something different from the milk, then how shall they avoid
40    I, 6   |        nurses are then fullest of milk. And we have shown a little
41    I, 6   |       pregnancy blood passes into milk by a change which does not
42    I, 6   |         case of the food, and the milk is least abundant, since
43    I, 6   |      blood, and the blood becomes milk, then blood is a preparation
44    I, 6   |        blood is a preparation for milk, as blood is for a human
45    I, 6   |          grape for the vine. With milk, then, the Lord's nutriment,
46    I, 6   |          which it is written that milk and honey fall in showers,
47    I, 6   |           but this nourishment on milk leads to the heavens, rearing
48    I, 6   |         language, and calling Him milk, adds: "I have given you
49    I, 6   |          is the solidification of milk or milk solidified; for
50    I, 6   |         solidification of milk or milk solidified; for I am not
51    I, 6   |           children at the breast, milk alone suffices; it serves
52    I, 6   |        food which, similarly with milk, represents figuratively
53    I, 6   |         us infants, who drink the milk of the word of the heavens,
54    I, 6   |          s breasts of love supply milk. Further, the Word declares
55    I, 6   |         and bread, and blood, and milk. The Lord is all these,
56    I, 6   |       figuratively represented as milk. For is it not figuratively
57    I, 6   |    moistened and increased by the milk. And the process of formation
58    I, 6   |      blood, as the rennet curdles milk, effects the essential part
59    I, 6   |       same blood. For the flow of milk is the product of the blood;
60    I, 6   |      source of nourishment is the milk; by which a woman is shown
61    I, 6   |     mystically, "I have given you milk to drink." For if we have
62    I, 6   |         nourishes us with His own milk, the Word; for it is proper
63    I, 6   |         them."~The same blood and milk of the Lord is therefore
64    I, 6   |        boast me sprung."~And that milk is produced from blood by
65    I, 6   |            and from the blood the milk flows more copiously. But
66    I, 6   |     change, and so they have less milk.~ Further, milk has a most

68    I, 6   |   addition to the above-mentioned milk, straightway feel benefit;
69    I, 6   | straightway feel benefit; for the milk is prevented from souring
70    I, 6   |        water taking kindly to the milk while it is undergoing digestion.
71    I, 6   |      baptism, is the agreement of milk with water; for it receives
72    I, 6   |         honeycomb."~ Furthermore, milk is mixed with sweet wine;
73    I, 6   |           to immortality. For the milk is curdled by the wine,
74    I, 6   |          many also use the fat of milk, called butter, for the
75    I, 6   |         rock, butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs;"
