prosperity_n be_v the_o good_a blessing_n of_o god_n wherewith_o he_o often_o enrich_v his_o own_o child_n yet_o he_o ever_o at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o chasten_v those_o who_o he_o love_v and_o

which_o make_v david_n out_o of_o his_o own_o experience_n ingenious_o confess_v 119.71_o that_o it_o be_v good_a for_o he_o that_o he_o have_v be_v afflict_v and_o so_o it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o

thus_o much_o of_o jacob_n poverty_n and_o want_n but_o now_o be_v in_o so_o great_a want_n as_o he_o be_v at_o this_o time_n why_o do_v he_o prefer_v so_o poor_a a_o petition_n unto_o god_n who_o be_v so_o rich_a in_o mercy_n and_o whereas_o god_n have_v now_o late_o appear_v unto_o he_o here_o in_o bethel_n and_o promise_v the_o whole_a land_n of_o canaan_n to_o he_o and_o his_o why_o do_v he_o desire_v so_o poor_a a_o pittance_n as_o food_n and_o raiment_n which_o will_v only_o keep_v life_n and_o soul_n together_o the_o very_a fowl_n of_o the_o air_n be_v furnish_v with_o these_o

be_v necessary_a for_o our_o calling_n and_o estate_n because_o as_o our_o saviour_n teach_v 12.15_o a_o man_n life_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o

hurtful_a lust_n which_o drown_v the_o soul_n in_o perdition_n and_o destruction_n 1._o tim._n 6._o jacob_n have_v once_o see_v god_n in_o bethel_n and_o set_v his_o heart_n upon_o he_o who_o be_v the_o true_a treasure_n neither_o admire_v nor_o much_o desire_v more_o than_o be_v necessary_a this_o worldly_a trash_n where_o we_o may_v see_v that_o howsoever_o worldling_n do_v not_o only_o admire_v but_o even_o adore_v riches_n and_o honour_n and_o earthly_a pleasure_n as_o their_o sole_a trinity_n yet_o the_o child_n of_o god_n know_v that_o earthly_a honour_n and_o riches_n be_v but_o shadow_n of_o heavenly_a and_o the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n not_o so_o much_o as_o shadow_n of_o heavenly_a pleasure_n use_v these_o thing_n when_o god_n give_v they_o but_o neither_o abuse_n nor_o admire_v the_o same_o and_o why_o shall_v man_n admire_v shadow_n paint_a fire_n which_o flame_n but_o warm_v not_o and_o may_v fit_o be_v compare_v unto_o glow-worm_n or_o piece_n of_o rotten-wood_n which_o in_o a_o dark_a night_n shine_v like_o star_n but_o when_o the_o sun_n arise_v and_o show_v what_o they_o be_v the_o one_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o poor_a worm_n the_o other_o nothing_o but_o a_o rot_a stick_n so_o these_o glorious_a outward_a thing_n shine_v like_o star_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o child_n of_o darkness_n but_o the_o child_n of_o light_n who_o eye_n be_v purge_v from_o those_o scale_n of_o darkness_n do_v plain_o see_v that_o in_o regard_n of_o true_a content_n they_o be_v vanitas_fw-la vanissima_fw-la worm_n and_o stick_n before_o which_o solomon_n incomparable_o prefer_v wisdom_n 3.9_o and_o agur_n in_o the_o proverb_n of_o solomon_n pray_v express_o against_o riches_n in_o the_o thirty_o chapter_n aswell_o as_o poverty_n mendicitatem_fw-la and_o divitias_fw-la ne_fw-la dederis_fw-la mihi_fw-la give_v i_o neither_o poverty_n nor_o riches_n but_o feed_v i_o with_o food_n convenient_a for_o i_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o jacob_n in_o my_o text_n petition_n neither_o for_o riches_n nor_o honour_n nor_o any_o other_o outward_a thing_n but_o only_o for_o bread_n to_o eat_v and_o clothes_n to_o put_v on_o and_o yet_o one_o thing_n more_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o jacob_n petition_n out_o of_o these_o word_n of_o my_o text_n where_o he_o say_v if_o god_n will_v be_v with_o i_o and_o keep_v i_o in_o this_o way_n that_o i_o go_v and_o bring_v i_o again_o to_o my_o father_n house_n in_o peace_n wherein_o beside_o food_n and_o raiment_n you_o see_v he_o desire_v the_o protection_n and_o blessing_n of_o god_n in_o his_o whole_a journey_n go_v out_o and_o come_v in_o without_o which_o neither_o his_o bread_n can_v nourish_v nor_o his_o clothes_n keep_v he_o warm_v nor_o any_o thing_n else_o do_v he_o good_a for_o man_n do_v not_o live_v by_o bread_n only_o 4.4_o but_o by_o every_o word_n which_o proceed_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n upon_o bread_n for_o as_o in_o physic_n a_o disease_a man_n be_v prescribe_v to_o boil_v certain_a medicinable_a herb_n in_o run_a water_n and_o then_o to_o drink_v a_o quantity_n of_o that_o water_n and_o so_o be_v cure_v of_o his_o disease_n and_o yet_o we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o water_n but_o the_o decoction_n or_o infusion_n which_o cure_v the_o patient_n so_o it_o be_v not_o the_o bread_n that_o nourish_v nor_o the_o abundance_n of_o outward_a thing_n which_o enrich_v or_o content_v but_o the_o infusion_n of_o god_n blessing_n which_o be_v the_o staff_n of_o bread_n 26.26_o without_o which_o a_o man_n may_v starve_v for_o hunger_n with_o bread_n in_o his_o mouth_n 4.16_o and_o die_v like_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n with_o the_o flesh_n of_o quail_n in_o their_o tooth_n 78.31_o whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a daniel_n feed_v upon_o bare_a pulse_n strengthen_v by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o staff_n of_o bread_n and_o of_o all_o other_o nourishment_n 1.15_o be_v fat_a and_o fair_a than_o they_o that_o be_v feed_v with_o the_o king_n diet_n for_o it_o be_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n 10.22_o that_o make_v rich_a and_o a_o little_a that_o the_o righteous_a have_v 16.8_o be_v better_a than_o the_o great_a revenue_n of_o the_o ungodly_a and_o we_o may_v observe_v in_o our_o own_o experience_n many_o a_o man_n who_o with_o a_o dinner_n of_o green_a herb_n 15.87_o
