fall no more from heauen vpon vs; but also thou smite vs with most greeuous plagues, as thou diddest the Israelites.But rather, as new-borne babes, remembring how it is written, that man shall not liue by bread onlie, but by euerie word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God; let vs hartilie desire the sincere milke of thy word; let our soules delight in fatnesse; let vs come earelie and late to the waters, to buie, and eate, to sa∣tisfie our hunger and thirst: let vs harken diligentlie vnto thee, and eate that which is good, and labour con∣tinuallie without wearinesse, for the meate that peri∣sheth not.O Lord, let vs neuer see the daie, wherein thou shalt be prouoked to send a famine in our land againe; a fa∣mine, I saie, not of bread; nor a thirst of water; but of the hearing of thy word, O God. Far bee that famine from vs, good Lord. Neither let vs anie more deserue to be cast out of our owne cities, townes, and houses, and to wander in strange lands, from Sea to Sea, from the North to the South, from East to West, running to and fro, like hunger-starued wretches, to seeke the food of thy word, as we sometimes haue done, O Lord, and yet not find it; least by that meanes we doo not onelie perish in bodie, but also in soule, for lacke of thy word, which is the verie food thereof.But let thy word, O God, be still neere vs, euen in our mouthes, and in our harts; the word of truth, I saie, which now is preached, taught, and receiued; and feed thou vs, whensoeuer the famine either of bodie or spi∣rit vexeth vs. O our father, giue vs this daie our daily bread, that we may walke in the strength thereof daie and night, vntill we come to the holie hill of Horeb. Be∣hold, Lord, according to thy commandement, we doo o∣pen our mouths wide, fill thou it full of thy heauenlie dainties, as thou hast promised. Lord, euermore giue 0
