but_o the_o spiritual_a meat_n which_o be_v the_o nourishment_n of_o our_o soul_n that_o proceed_v from_o god_n when_o it_o be_v give_v to_o those_o that_o be_v spiritual_o dead_a restore_v they_o unto_o a_o celestial_a and_o spiritual_a life_n moreover_o the_o corporal_a meat_n can_v for_o a_o time_n keep_v our_o natural_a and_o temporal_a life_n but_o it_o can_v preserve_v we_o from_o death_n but_o the_o incorruptible_a meat_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o above_o all_o the_o live_a bread_n which_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n give_v a_o everlasting_a life_n to_o our_o soul_n and_o preserve_v they_o from_o eternal_a death_n and_o further_o you_o must_v observe_v that_o after_o this_o life_n all_o corporal_a nourishment_n shall_v cease_v but_o never_o the_o spiritual_a nourishment_n of_o our_o soul_n for_o the_o bless_a of_o 〈◊〉_d god_n the_o father_n shall_v ever_o sit_v at_o the_o table_n of_o their_o master_n to_o eat_v with_o he_o of_o the_o sacred_a bread_n of_o god_n and_o drink_v the_o new_a wine_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n with_o he_o that_o say_v my_o meat_n be_v to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o and_o to_o sinish_v his_o

meat_n let_v we_o observe_v that_o the_o spiritual_a meat_n have_v some_o property_n and_o effect_n that_o presuppose_v some_o imperfection_n in_o our_o soul_n when_o the_o spiritual_a meat_n be_v a_o aliment_n and_o medicine_n for_o they_o which_o can_v agree_v with_o our_o bless_a saviour_n nay_o more_o than_o that_o those_o quality_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v ascribe_v or_o adapt_v unto_o he_o who_o be_v all_o perfect_a christ_n our_o redeemer_n who_o be_v a_o lamb_n without_o blemish_n and_o without_o spot_n and_o you_o will_v confess_v that_o christ_n who_o give_v life_n to_o the_o world_n need_v not_o its_o entertainment_n nor_o restoration_n of_o any_o strength_n but_o behold_v there_o be_v something_o in_o the_o spiritual_a meat_n which_o will_v very_o well_o agree_v with_o our_o bless_a saviour_n delectation_n and_o pleasure_n for_o you_o must_v know_v that_o as_o the_o material_a and_o corporal_a meat_n when_o it_o be_v present_a and_o take_v by_o a_o man_n of_o a_o good_a appetite_n do_v recreate_v and_o generate_v pleasure_n and_o delectation_n and_o if_o it_o be_v absent_a cause_v a_o great_a desire_n so_o do_v the_o spiritual_a meat_n for_o when_o it_o be_v present_a and_o take_v by_o our_o soul_n that_o seek_v after_o it_o it_o recreate_v they_o and_o give_v the_o soul_n a_o great_a but_o spiritual_a pleasure_n and_o delectation_n and_o after_o this_o manner_n the_o eat_n and_o drink_v be_v take_v often_o in_o the_o scripture_n for_o the_o possession_n and_o enjoy_n of_o very_o acceptable_a and_o pleasant_a thing_n for_o the_o celestial_a and_o spiritual_a pleasure_n which_o we_o in_o this_o life_n and_o after_o it_o shall_v enjoy_v in_o the_o lord_n as_o you_o may_v see_v psal_n 19.10_o where_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v of_o god_n commandment_n celebrate_v they_o as_o more_o to_o be_v desire_v then_o gold_n and_o sweet_a than_o honey_n and_o in_o many_o other_o place_n of_o the_o same_o book_n as_o psa_n 42.3_o psa_fw-la 63.1_o 5._o the_o royal_a prophet_n express_v his_o most_o fervent_a desire_n for_o god_n by_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n and_o his_o great_a pleasure_n by_o the_o fullness_n of_o marrow_n and_o fatness_n say_v

a_o great_a sadness_n will_v so_o feed_v a_o afflict_a man_n that_o he_o will_v forget_v himself_o and_o leave_v his_o meat_n and_o drink_n as_o it_o do_v appear_v by_o our_o royal_a but_o afflict_a

day_n and_o night_n while_o they_o continual_o say_v unto_o i_o where_o be_v thy_o god_n but_o if_o sadness_n make_v we_o forget_v our_o meat_n and_o drink_n much_o more_o do_v pleasure_n on_o which_o a_o proverb_n be_v frame_v where_o it_o be_v say_v he_o take_v there_o so_o much_o pleasure_n that_o he_o lose_v his_o meat_n and_o drink_n and_o you_o know_v that_o to_o be_v true_a for_o oftentimes_o a_o profound_a meditation_n on_o some_o agreeable_a thing_n or_o a_o pleasant_a exercise_n will_v make_v we_o forget_v the_o time_n of_o our_o refection_n as_o it_o appear_v in_o our_o
