save_o i_o say_v the_o psalmist_n again_o in_o private_a family_n and_o in_o domestical_a affair_n it_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o man_n to_o rise_v early_o and_o go_v to_o bed_v late_o yea_o and_o in_o the_o very_a body_n of_o man_n the_o israelite_n which_o so_o lust_v for_o meat_n yet_o when_o they_o have_v meat_n dye_v with_o meat_n in_o their_o mouth_n number_n 11._o yea_o and_o many_o the_o more_o they_o have_v the_o worse_o they_o thrive_v like_o pharaoh_n lean_a kine_n which_o do_v eat_v up_o the_o fat_a and_o yet_o be_v never_o the_o fat_a when_o they_o have_v do_v and_o therefore_o though_o much_o may_v be_v do_v by_o bread_n yet_o nothing_o by_o bread_n only_o well_o then_o if_o not_o by_o bread_n only_o by_o what_o then_o by_o every_o word_n that_o proceed_v out_o off_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n where_o because_o mention_v be_v make_v of_o every_o word_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v manifold_a whereby_o we_o live_v for_o first_o there_o be_v verbum_fw-la scriptum_fw-la the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n which_o feed_v we_o with_o wisdom_n second_o there_o be_v the_o word_n of_o his_o blessing_n which_o strengthen_v with_o goodness_n three_o the_o word_n of_o especial_a power_n which_o mayntain_v by_o miracle_n four_o the_o word_n of_o promise_n which_o support_v by_o faith_n &_o last_o even_o the_o word_n of_o denial_n which_o uphold_v we_o in_o patience_n if_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o write_a word_n or_o of_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v true_a that_o man_n live_v not_o by_o bread_n only_o but_o by_o that_o too_o for_o search_v the_o scripture_n say_v christ_n for_o they_o be_v they_o which_o testify_v of_o i_o and_o in_o they_o you_o shall_v have_v life_n everlasting_a john_n 5._o and_o it_o be_v a_o good_a bar_n against_o the_o devil_n temptation_n when_o he_o tell_v we_o of_o bread_n and_o turn_v stone_n into_o bread_n and_o all_o for_o bread_n to_o tell_v he_o again_o that_o there_o be_v somewhat_o else_o to_o be_v care_v for_o beside_o bread_n that_o because_o god_n have_v give_v we_o a_o soul_n to_o save_v as_o well_o as_o a_o body_n to_o feed_v and_o a_o belly_n to_o fill_v that_o we_o therefore_o shall_v rather_o care_v to_o feed_v and_o instruct_v the_o soul_n then_o to_o pamper_v the_o body_n especial_o to_o instruct_v the_o soul_n thus_o far_o against_o the_o body_n that_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o do_v no_o unlawful_a thing_n for_o nature_n necessity_n nor_o to_o hazard_v a_o immortal_a soul_n for_o a_o mortal_a and_o die_a body_n and_o have_v many_o of_o we_o be_v as_o well_o instruct_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o in_o their_o duty_n to_o god_n the_o king_n &_o country_n as_o they_o have_v be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o in_o unlawful_a mean_n of_o recover_v bread_n i_o think_v want_n of_o bread_n can_v never_o have_v raise_v such_o wicked_a tumult_n as_o it_o have_v but_o a_o man_n may_v true_o say_v to_o the_o most_o hungry_a soul_n of_o this_o tumultuous_a company_n that_o when_o he_o be_v most_o oppress_v and_o most_o hungry_a yet_o even_o then_o he_o be_v better_o feed_v then_o teach_v second_o if_o you_o speak_v of_o verbum_fw-la benedictionis_fw-la the_o word_n of_o his_o blessing_n it_o be_v true_a that_o man_n live_v not_o by_o bread_n only_o but_o chief_o by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n for_o every_o creature_n say_v s._n paul_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n 1._o tim._n 4._o that_o be_v by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n as_o ambrose_n and_o theodoret_n expound_v it_o and_o this_o appear_v to_o we_o three_o way_n first_o because_o the_o very_a same_o thing_n bless_v and_o not_o bless_v do_v show_v forth_o pour_v according_o as_o exod._n 16._o when_o against_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n they_o reserve_v of_o the_o mannah_n till_o the_o morning_n it_o putrify_a and_o stanke_z yet_o the_o very_a same_o mannah_n be_v keep_v by_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n be_v sweet_a &_o good_a many_o year_n in_o the_o ark_n the_o reason_n of_o which_o difference_n be_v because_o god_n do_v give_v his_o blessing_n to_o the_o one_o and_o deny_v it_o to_o the_o other_o second_o whereas_o we_o by_o proportion_n feed_v our_o family_n as_o david_n when_o he_o feast_v the_o people_n give_v to_o every_o one_o a_o piece_n of_o flesh_n &_o a_o cake_n of_o bread_n 2._o sam._n 6._o that_o be_v so_o many_o cake_n of_o bread_n to_o so_o many_o people_n yet_o god_n when_o he_o please_v without_o all_o proportion_n feed_v man_n for_o math._n 15._o with_o seven_o love_n he_o feed_v 4000_o which_o be_v much_o but_o math._n 14._o with_o 5._o loaf_n he_o feed_v 5000._o which_o be_v much_o more_o the_o miracle_n be_v great_a when_o it_o be_v at_o the_o least_o but_o with_o the_o less_o provision_n to_o feed_v the_o great_a number_n make_v it_o much_o great_a but_o the_o strange_a miracle_n be_v in_o the_o fragment_n yea_o in_o the_o fragment_n three_o great_a miracle_n appear_v first_o that_o out_o of_o so_o small_a a_o portion_n feed_v so_o many_o there_o shall_v come_v any_o fragment_n at_o all_o next_o that_o out_o of_o the_o few_o loaf_n and_o the_o great_a number_n to_o be_v feed_v there_o do_v arise_v the_o more_o fragment_n &_o last_o that_o the_o redundance_n of_o the_o fragment_n be_v more_o than_o the_o first_o stock_n or_o principal_a store_n of_o bread_n &_o what_o be_v all_o this_o but_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n three_o which_o the_o devil_n here_o acknowledge_v god_n can_v when_o it_o please_v he_o put_v the_o very_a strength_n of_o bread_n into_o a_o stone_n yea_o he_o that_o can_v make_v a_o man_n of_o a_o stone_n can_v feed_v he_o with_o a_o stone_n &_o nourish_v he_o more_o with_o meat_n of_o less_o nourishment_n then_o with_o the_o more_o as_o daniel_n &_o the_o rest_n which_o live_v with_o water_n &_o pulse_n have_v their_o face_n not_o so_o fair_a but_o fair_a than_o they_o which_o live_v of_o the_o king_n own_o table_n dan._n 1._o and_o what_o be_v this_o likewise_o but_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n and_o have_v we_o not_o tie_v our_o life_n to_o bread_n and_o think_v god_n can_v not_o have_v bless_v we_o but_o by_o fill_v our_o belly_n we_o shall_v never_o have_v forsake_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n to_o have_v fall_v into_o the_o curse_n of_o those_o conspire_a brethren_n curse_v be_v their_o wrath_n for_o it_o be_v fierce_a etc._n etc._n gen_n 49._o but_o it_o seem_v that_o these_o man_n when_o they_o have_v bread_n they_o have_v it_o without_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n &_o want_v grace_n to_o use_v it_o and_o therefore_o now_o have_v no_o bread_n they_o want_v another_o blessing_n &_o know_v not_o how_o to_o want_v it_o three_o if_o you_o speak_v of_o verbum_fw-la potentiae_fw-la the_o word_n of_o his_o power_n that_o word_n whereof_o it_o be_v say_v he_o speak_v the_o word_n and_o it_o be_v do_v it_o be_v true_a likewise_o that_o man_n live_v not_o by_o bread_n only_o but_o many_o time_n by_o the_o special_a power_n of_o god_n which_o appear_v also_o three_o way_n first_o by_o raise_v up_o of_o extraordinary_a mean_n as_o when_o the_o israelite_n be_v in_o the_o wilderness_n where_o the_o earth_n do_v yield_v no_o bread_n the_o lord_n do_v cause_n even_o the_o heaven_n to_o do_v the_o office_n of_o the_o earth_n &_o to_o rain_v down_o bread_n second_o as_o he_o do_v strange_o provide_v bread_n so_o when_o it_o please_v he_o he_o can_v preserve_v life_n without_o bread_n for_o moses_n of_o faith_n for_o to_o he_o that_o believe_v all_o thing_n be_v possible_a mark_n 9_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v have_v bread_n conspire_v not_o in_o mutiny_n but_o conspire_v in_o mutual_a prayer_n root_n not_o up_o harmless_a hedge_n nor_o rend_v up_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o look_v up_o to_o heaven_n from_o whence_o you_o shall_v have_v bread_n and_o though_o you_o see_v no_o mean_n how_o yea_o though_o you_o see_v reason_n to_o despair_n yet_o you_o shall_v have_v bread_n for_o he_o have_v say_v it_o who_o can_v deceive_v that_o he_o will_v not_o affamish_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o righteous_a pro._n 10._o five_o and_o last_o as_o there_o be_v verbum_fw-la promittens_fw-la a_o word_n of_o promise_n to_o rest_v upon_o and_o every_o man_n of_o ordinary_a faith_n can_v stay_v himself_o on_o that_o so_o be_v there_o likewise_o verbum_fw-la denegans_fw-la a_o word_n of_o denial_n whereby_o god_n say_v sometime_o you_o shall_v have_v no_o bread_n at_o all_o and_o which_o be_v the_o high_a point_n of_o religion_n we_o must_v learn_v to_o stand_v fast_o even_o in_o that_o too_o thus_o stand_v david_n in_o that_o great_a distress_n by_o absalon_n if_o i_o shall_v find_v favour_n in_o the_o
who_o thrust_v upon_o the_o faith_n of_o man_n dream_n and_o fable_n and_o mere_a tradition_n which_o be_v say_v theodoret_n like_o the_o levit._n theodoret._n quest_n 9_o in_o levit._n sin_n of_o

sure_a no_o matter_n of_o faith_n but_o man_n may_v choose_v whether_o they_o will_v believe_v it_o or_o no_o but_o if_o it_o be_v write_v man_n must_v believe_v it_o and_o build_v their_o faith_n their_o soul_n and_o salvation_n upon_o it_o for_o therefore_o you_o err_v say_v christ_n because_o you_o know_v not_o the_o scripture_n mat._n 22._o but_o he_o that_o know_v they_o know_v also_o all_o needful_a wisdom_n in_o they_o for_o speak_v we_o of_o matter_n of_o faith_n fidem_fw-la imperator_fw-la queris_fw-la say_v hilary_n to_o constance_n constant_n hilar_n ad_fw-la constant_n the_o
