108. What then? shall we esteem festival
days by eating and drinking? But let no man judge us in respect
of eating; “for we know that the Law is
spiritual.” Rom. vii. 14. “Let
no man therefore judge us in any meats or in drink, or in respect of a
feast day or new moons, or a sabbath day, which are a shadow of the
things to come, but the body is of Christ.” Col. ii. 16. Let us, then, seek the body of
Christ which the voice of the Father, from heaven, as it were the last
trumpet, has shown to you at the time when the Jews said that it
thundered; S. John xii. 29. the body of
Christ, which again the last trump shall reveal; for “the Lord
Himself shall descend from heaven at the voice of the Archangel, and at
the trump of God, and they that are dead in Christ shall rise
again;” 1 Thess. iv. 16. for
“where the body is, there too are the eagles,” S. Luke xvii. 37. where the body of Christ is, there is
the truth.
