salvation_n or_o profit_n aught_o to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o last_o end_n for_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o we_o so_o to_o be_v occupy_v with_o the_o care_n of_o our_o own_o profit_n but_o that_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n shall_v always_o have_v the_o first_o place_n therefore_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o pray_v we_o must_v never_o turn_v our_o eye_n from_o this_o mark_n or_o line_n there_o be_v yet_o this_o difference_n between_o the_o two_o sort_n or_o part_n of_o prayer_n which_o i_o set_v down_o that_o while_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o hallow_n of_o his_o name_n it_o behoove_v we_o to_o lift_v up_o our_o sense_n on_o high_a that_o have_v no_o regard_n of_o ourselves_o they_o shall_v attend_v upon_o god_n alone_o and_o then_o that_o we_o shall_v descend_v to_o ourselves_o and_o join_v the_o care_n of_o our_o salvation_n with_o those_o former_a petition_n which_o belong_v to_o god_n alone_o and_o although_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o food_n even_o as_o much_o as_o the_o soul_n excel_v the_o body_n yet_o christ_n begin_v at_o bread_n and_o the_o sustentation_n of_o this_o earthly_a life_n that_o from_o such_o a_o beginning_n he_o may_v lead_v they_o high_o therefore_o we_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o have_v our_o daily_a bread_n before_o reconciliation_n to_o god_n as_o though_o that_o we_o shall_v esteem_v more_o of_o the_o corrupt_a food_n of_o the_o belly_n then_o of_o the_o eternal_a salvation_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o our_o mind_n do_v ascend_v from_o the_o earth_n into_o heaven_n as_o it_o be_v by_o step_n for_o when_o as_o god_n vouchsave_v to_o employ_v himself_o to_o nourish_v the_o body_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o he_o be_v much_o more_o careful_a of_o the_o spiritual_a food_n therefore_o his_o so_o love_a kindness_n do_v raise_v uppe_o our_o faith_n high_o that_o many_o do_v take_v the_o greek_a word_n signify_v bread_n for_o more_o than_o substantial_a or_o supernatural_a be_v altogether_o absurd_a and_o the_o reason_n which_o erasmus_n bring_v be_v not_o only_o frivolous_a but_o also_o contrary_a to_o godliness_n it_o seem_v not_o probable_a to_o he_o that_o while_o we_o appear_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n christ_n shall_v command_v we_o to_o speak_v of_o nourishment_n as_o though_o the_o like_a be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v out_o of_o diverse_a place_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o by_o the_o taste_n of_o these_o present_a good_n we_o may_v be_v lead_v into_o the_o hope_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n nay_o but_o this_o be_v a_o just_a trial_n of_o our_o faith_n when_o as_o we_o ask_v nothing_o from_o any_o other_o then_o from_o god_n and_o we_o do_v not_o only_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v the_o only_a fountain_n of_o all_o good_a thing_n but_o we_o also_o feel_v his_o fatherly_a goodness_n stretch_v out_o even_o to_o the_o least_o thing_n so_o that_o he_o refuse_v not_o to_o take_v care_n even_o of_o our_o flesh_n and_o that_o christ_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o corporal_a food_n may_v first_o be_v gather_v hereof_o that_o otherwise_o it_o shall_v be_v maim_v and_o no_o full_a or_o perfect_v prayer_n for_o we_o be_v

rule_v of_o right_a prayer_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o somewhat_o shall_v be_v command_v for_o the_o innumerable_a necessity_n of_o this_o present_a life_n also_o this_o word_n this_o day_n signify_v that_o we_o ask_v here_o of_o god_n that_o we_o need_v not_o care_v but_o for_o a_o day_n for_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o his_o meaning_n be_v to_o restrain_v and_o moderate_v the_o covetousness_n of_o earthly_a food_n whereunto_o we_o all_o be_v immoderate_o carry_v also_o it_o be_v sufficient_o know_v that_o the_o figure_n synecdoche_n be_v use_v in_o this_o word_n bread_n for_o under_o it_o the_o hebrew_n do_v comprehend_v all_o kind_n of_o nourishment_n but_o it_o be_v use_v here_o more_o large_o for_o we_o do_v not_o only_o desire_v to_o have_v food_n

we_o be_v first_o command_v to_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v defend_v and_o nourish_v in_o this_o world_n the_o life_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o and_o because_o it_o need_v many_o help_n that_o

and_o lay_v on_o more_o strong_o with_o his_o whole_a force_n if_o it_o may_v be_v that_o at_o length_n he_o may_v oppress_v he_o that_o yet_o be_v invinsible_a for_o as_o every_o man_n be_v more_o

the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o warfare_n and_o come_v to_o the_o mark_n but_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v absurd_a that_o christ_n shall_v be_v subject_a to_o temptation_n for_o that_o man_n may_v be_v tempt_v there_o must_v be_v sin_n and_o infirmity_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o christ_n have_v take_v our_o infirmity_n but_o without_o sin_n then_o it_o do_v no_o

that_o he_o may_v be_v tempt_v of_o satan_n and_o yet_o be_v pure_a and_o free_a from_o all_o sin_n but_o the_o answer_n shall_v not_o be_v hard_a if_o we_o remember_v the_o whole_a nature_n of_o

of_o tempt_v they_o do_v satan_n take_v and_o this_o be_v worthy_o account_v the_o infirmity_n of_o humane_a flesh_n to_o have_v the_o sense_n move_v with_o the_o thing_n object_n but_o such_o as_o

or_o at_o the_o least_o do_v hurt_v we_o with_o some_o prick_n in_o this_o point_n the_o integrity_n of_o nature_n have_v separate_v christ_n from_o we_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o mean_a condition_n

when_o we_o hear_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o bread_n which_o our_o soul_n must_v eat_v this_o pierce_v far_a into_o our_o soul_n then_o if_o christ_n shall_v say_v simple_o that_o he_o be_v our_o

in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o feel_v it_o for_o bread_n do_v not_o begin_v the_o life_n but_o it_o cherish_v and_o preserve_v the_o life_n which_o be_v begin_v but_o we_o do_v not_o only_o retain_v

furthermore_o they_o who_o gather_v out_o of_o this_o place_n that_o the_o eat_n of_o christ_n be_v nothing_o else_o save_o faith_n only_o they_o reason_v scarce_o fit_o enough_o and_o to_o the_o

i_o have_v already_o say_v that_o he_o do_v only_o use_v the_o word_n bread_n namely_o because_o the_o compare_v of_o manna_n with_o his_o heavenly_a power_n whereby_o our_o soul_n be_v hold_v in_o

together_o with_o a_o comparison_n of_o man_n your_o father_n say_v he_o eat_v manna_n etc._n etc._n he_o say_v that_o manna_n be_v unto_o their_o father_n frail_a food_n which_o do_v not_o deliver_v

furthermore_o we_o must_v remember_v that_o which_o i_o say_v in_o another_o place_n that_o he_o do_v not_o in_o this_o place_n speak_v of_o manna_n as_o it_o be_v a_o secret_a figure_n of_o christ_n for_o in_o that_o respect_n paul_n call_v it_o spiritual_a meat_n but_o we_o have_v say_v that_o christ_n do_v attemper_n and_o apply_v his_o speech_n unto_o his_o hearer_n who_o be_v only_o careful_a for_o the_o feed_n of_o the_o belly_n do_v look_v unto_o no_o high_a thing_n therefore_o he_o do_v for_o good_a cause_n affirm_v that_o their_o father_n be_v dead_a that_o be_v such_o as_o be_v in_o

that_o which_o be_v hard_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v no_o otherwise_o feed_v with_o his_o flesh_n and_o blood_n than_o the_o body_n be_v sustain_v with_o meat_n and_o drink_v therefore_o

have_v overcome_v y_o e_o world_n do_v set_v the_o last_o resurrection_n before_o his_o eye_n it_o appear_v plain_o by_o these_o word_n that_o all_o this_o place_n be_v untrue_o expound_v of_o the_o
