Book Four, Chapter 11
That the Body of Christ and the Holy Scriptures are Most Necessary to a Faithful Soul

 For in this life I find there are two things especially necessary for me, without which this miserable life would be to me insupportable.  While detained in the prison of this body, I acknowledge that I need two things, viz.: Food and light.  You have, therefore, given to me, weak as I am, Your Sacred Body for the nourishment of my soul and body, and You have set Your word as a light to my feet.  Without these two I could not well live; for the Word of God is the light of my soul, and Your Sacrament is the bread of life.
