To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Staff was a favourite emblem in mediaeval times of the " desire '' of Christians for the Sacraments. The Blessed Sacrament. The emblem in mediaeval times was the chalice with the circular bread (Fig. 5, PI. X. ), and perhaps no better or more scriptural one could be devised than "the cup which we bless, and the bread which we break. " The Good Shepherd. Under this guise our Blessed Lord was represented in the three first centuries, after which time the image died out, and has rarely, if eve...r, been reproduced until within the last few years. The Vine is another ancient emblem of Christ (the True Vine), but it has never been much used since the fifth century ; save in purely decorative form, as in running foliage in wood and stone carving, where it is far from probable that any reference was intended. The common nineteenth century symbols of the sacrament, the " wheat and grapes, '' do not appear to have any sure foundation in antiquity. 5 The " Whale " of Jonah is another early emblem of Christ in his resurrection.
