Of this worde,
Dayly.
Q. Whie doe wee call it dayly
bread?
A. For diuers causes,
1. To note our mortalitie, and fading
estate, if the Lord should not dayly feede
vs, Act. 17. 28.
2. To keepe vs in the exercise of prai∣er,
for if wee should aske for many yeeres
prouision at once, wee would take liber∣tie
thereby to pray no more.
3. To bridle our insatiable desires, and
to teach vs to be content with so much as
shall bee fit to preserue life honestly, not
wantonly. For see Psal. 37. 16. 1. Tim. 6. 6.
2. Cor. 4. 16. 17. 18.
4. To teach vs that all our wantes are
knowne to the Lorde so well, that for e∣uery

day he can tell what is sufficient, and
what we haue need of.
Q. What vse may wée make of this?
A. The vse of this poynt is two folde.
1. To preserue vs from distrust, and al
bad meanes to bee relieued by, which
come of distrust.
2. To encourage vs to goe to God by
prayer, when we heare how priuie he is to
our estate.
