question_n this_o be_v oft_o repeat_v in_o this_o chapter_n and_o for_o open_v of_o which_o consider_v these_o question_n question_n 1_o first_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o bread_n of_o life_n answer_n i_o answer_v whatever_o be_v needful_a &_o sufficient_a to_o bring_v people_n out_o of_o that_o misery_n they_o be_v in_o by_o sin_n to_o that_o happiness_n they_o lose_v in_o adam_n a_o sufficiency_n of_o mean_n to_o free_a from_o misery_n and_o bring_v to_o happiness_n as_o be_v more_o full_o express_v though_o in_o other_o metaphor_n in_o verse_n 53_o 54._o of_o this_o chapter_n except_o you_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n you_o have_v no_o life_n in_o you_o etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o christ_n cull_v out_o a_o metaphor_n that_o be_v one_o of_o the_o chief_a to_o support_v man_n mortal_a life_n viz_o bread_n and_o therefore_o add_v this_o epithet_n of_o life_n that_o as_o bread_n be_v special_o useful_a for_o our_o life_n so_o be_v christ_n for_o the_o spiritual_a &_o eternal_a life_n the_o bread_n of_o life_n that_o be_v the_o remedy_n of_o man_n misery_n in_o which_o he_o be_v by_o nature_n &_o sinne._n question_n 2_o second_o whether_o this_o be_v proper_a to_o christ_n or_o common_a with_o he_o to_o some_o other_o answer_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v proper_a to_o he_o nothing_o else_o nether_a in_o whole_a nor_o in_o part_n have_v any_o share_n in_o it_o except_o as_o his_o instrument_n these_o word_n i_o be_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n be_v not_o only_o declarative_a of_o what_o he_o be_v but_o impropriative_a and_o restrain_v this_o to_o he_o only_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n that_o he_o and_o he_o only_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n therefore_o that_o verse_n 53._o except_o you_o eat_v he_o you_o have_v no_o life_n therefore_o he_o only_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n and_o gen_n 3._o 15._o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n that_o be_v christ_n shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n that_o be_v recover_v man_n out_o of_o misery_n god_n never_o promise_v it_o shall_v be_v but_o only_o by_o he_o therefore_o by_o he_o only_o it_o shall_v be_v and_o so_o much_o be_v express_v by_o that_o john_n 6._o 67._o 68_o jesus_n say_v unto_o the_o twelve_o will_v you_o also_o go_v away_o then_o simon_n peter_n answer_v he_o lord_n to_o who_o shall_v we_o go_v thou_o have_v the_o word_n of_o eternal_a life_n if_o eternal_a life_n can_v have_v be_v have_v by_o any_o other_o than_o they_o may_v have_v go_v away_o from_o christ_n that_o reason_n have_v not_o be_v strong_a and_o this_o be_v express_v by_o that_o acts._n 4_o 12._o neither_o be_v there_o salvation_n in_o any_o other_o for_o there_o be_v none_o other_o name_n under_o heaven_n give_v among_o man_n whereby_o we_o must_v be_v save_v as_o the_o israelite_n in_o the_o willdernes_n have_v no_o help_n from_o the_o deadly_a sting_n of_o fiery_a serpent_n but_o by_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n question_n 3_o three_o by_o what_o mean_v christ_n come_v to_o be_v bread_n of_o life_n i_o answer_v by_o his_o incarnation_n and_o all_o that_o he_o do_v &_o suffer_v till_o he_o sit_v down_o at_o god_n right_a hand_n in_o glory_n all_o this_o be_v for_o the_o fit_v &_o make_v he_o bread_n of_o life_n life_n how_o christ_n come_v to_o be_v bread_n of_o life_n as_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n for_o this_o end_n to_o become_v bread_n of_o life_n so_o all_o he_o do_v &_o suffer_v in_o come_v into_o and_o be_v in_o the_o world_n till_o he_o be_v translate_v out_o of_o it_o and_o set_v down_o in_o glory_n be_v for_o this_o end_n as_o 1._o
his_o incarnation_n or_o join_v together_o of_o both_o nature_n the_o divine_a &_o humane_a in_o one_o person_n be_v for_o to_o make_v he_o fit_a to_o be_v this_o bread_n of_o life_n therefore_o christ_n be_v about_o to_o show_v nicodemus_n that_o eternal_a life_n may_v be_v have_v by_o he_o john_n 3._o 15._o that_o be_v that_o he_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n he_o first_o show_v he_o his_o incarnation_n &_o double_a nature_n verse_n 14._o that_o as_o moses_n lift_v up_o the_o serpent_n in_o the_o wilderness_n even_o so_o must_v the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v lift_v up_o for_o as_o bread_n be_v not_o make_v of_o one_o single_a substance_n but_o of_o several_a join_v together_o so_o christ_n the_o bread_n of_o life_n the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n can_v not_o be_v effectual_a to_o bring_v we_o to_o life_n without_o the_o godhead_n be_v neither_o of_o power_n enough_o to_o stand_v under_o and_o come_v forth_o from_o that_o wrath_n it_o must_v undergo_v nor_o of_o virtue_n enough_o to_o make_v its_o action_n &_o suffering_n of_o infinite_a worth_n without_o which_o a_o infinite_a debt_n can_v not_o be_v pay_v and_o the_o godhead_n though_o in_o it_o self_n it_o be_v a_o fountain_n of_o life_n &_o very_o communicative_a be_v infinite_o good_a yet_o by_o sin_n it_o be_v seal_v up_o and_o become_v terrible_a &_o a_o consume_a fire_n so_o that_o it_o convey_v nothing_o

two_o nature_n viz_o the_o godhead_n &_o manhood_n in_o one_o person_n prepare_v and_o fit_v he_o to_o be_v bread_n of_o life_n and_o second_o his_o natural_a infirmity_n &_o outward_a meanness_n and_o all_o his_o suffering_n be_v to_o fit_v he_o for_o this_o as_o corn_n be_v thresh_v ground_n bake_v in_o the_o oven_n before_o it_o make_v bread_n col._n 1._o 14._o 21_o 22._o these_o appease_v god_n wrath_n and_o satisfy_v his_o justice_n for_o our_o sin_n by_o which_o we_o be_v condemn_v and_o so_o his_o obedience_n &_o fulfil_v of_o the_o law_n this_o prepare_v a_o robe_n to_o cover_v we_o by_o virtue_n of_o which_o we_o may_v appear_v spotless_a in_o god_n sight_n rev_n 19_o 8._o and_o three_o his_o resurrection_n be_v also_o to_o fit_v he_o to_o be_v bread_n of_o life_n 1._o cor._n 15._o 17_o and_o if_o christ_n be_v not_o raise_v your_o faith_n be_v vain_a you_o be_v yet_o in_o your_o sin_n as_o bread_n come_v out_o of_o the_o oven_n in_o which_o it_o be_v bake_v or_o else_o can_v preserve_v our_o life_n and_o four_o his_o ascension_n &_o sit_v down_o in_o heaven_n be_v also_o to_o fit_v he_o to_o be_v bread_n of_o life_n this_o indeed_o be_v the_o last_o preparative_n thing_n he_o do_v and_o but_o a_o introduction_n or_o let_v he_o into_o that_o place_n &_o condition_n wherein_o he_o may_v do_v the_o work_n of_o bread_n of_o life_n who_o be_v now_o by_o former_a thing_n make_v full_o complete_a bread_n of_o life_n yet_o this_o also_o be_v do_v as_o a_o concurrence_n to_o his_o be_v bread_n of_o life_n for_o before_o he_o can_v be_v give_v as_o bread_n and_o work_v as_o bread_n he_o must_v be_v ascend_v heaven_n and_o set_v down_o there_o therefore_o he_o say_v he_o must_v ascend_v that_o the_o spirit_n may_v come_v john_n 16._o 7._o and_o ehp._n 4._o 8._o ascend_v up_o he_o give_v gift_n unto_o man_n as_o bread_n descend_v into_o the_o stomach_n and_o so_o send_v virtue_n &_o strength_n into_o the_o body_n before_o it_o can_v nourish_v &_o preserve_v life_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o christ_n come_v to_o be_v bread_n of_o life_n and_o how_o many_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v do_v to_o fit_v he_o and_o though_o before_o he_o die_v he_o say_v all_o be_v finish_v he_o mean_v not_o every_o thing_n for_o then_o why_o die_v he_o but_o all_o that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v before_o he_o give_v up_o the_o ghost_n and_o therefore_o he_o proceed_v to_o do_v that_o and_o therefore_o none_o but_o he_o can_v be_v it_o because_o none_o else_o gather_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v gather_v have_v nor_o can_v have_v all_o these_o necessary_a quallification_n and_o hence_o you_o may_v far_o gather_v two_o thing_n 1._o when_o christ_n be_v actual_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n namely_o in_o his_o state_n of_o glory_n then_o when_o he_o be_v

and_o whereas_o he_o give_v life_n to_o many_o before_o he_o have_v do_v these_o thing_n namely_o to_o all_o believer_n before_o he_o come_v yet_o it_o be_v by_o virtue_n of_o all_o these_o do_v in_o
