That
Manna
preferved onely naturalt and
temporali
life,
as

Your

and

;
nay
it
could
not
keepe them
from
hunger above
on
e
day
to
an
end
:
But
this
bread
once
tailed
makes
a
man
live
for ever,
hee
Jhall
not
die,

he
fhall
never

That
manna
did
corrupt, it
melted
daily
when
the Sanne
arofe;
it
lalled
not
beyond
a
day,
it
continued
not
beyond the
wilderneffe
;
and
that
fmall
portion
which the
Lord
referved
in
the Holy
of
holies,
perifhed
and was
loll
after the captivity
:
But
this
man-
na
is
not
fubjea
to
corruption,
but
abideth
Tweet
and
precious
to
every
hungry heart
;
nor
fubjal to
violence,
but abides in the Holy
of
holies
without
all
change
or
feare
of
danger
;
nor onely
lafls
in
this journey through
our wildernelfe,
but
is
the
fweetefl
and
moll delicious
in
our
Canaan
;
when
hoe

the
Saints
and
formes
of
God.
