Roast with fire, not raw, not boiled
And if the sheep is Christ, and Christ is the Word, what are the fleshes of the divine words if not the divine scriptures? Just as it is not fitting to chew them either raw or boiled in water (Exodus 12:9) (John 1:1) (John 1:14).
Greek
[Εἰ δὲ τὸ πρόβατον ὁ X(ριστ)ός ἐστιν, <καὶ ὁ X(ριστὸ)ς ὁ λόγος ἐστίν, > τίνες τῶν θείων λόγων αἱ σάρκες εἰ μὴ αἱ θεῖαι γραφαί; Ὥσπερ τρώγειν οὔτε ὠμὰς οὔτε ἡψημένας ἐν ὕδατι προσῆκεν.
