[ 844] Manna, the heavenly food of God's Word, how to relish it.
IT is observed,* 1.1 that when the beak of the Eagle is grown so big, that she cannot eat any meat, so that thereupon the becommeth very poor and bare of her body, she goeth to a rock, and there she dasheth her beak so long against it, till she have broke off the end of it; and then she feeds with much more ease, and so recovereth her strength again. Thus, when we have lost our taste, and cannot relish that heavenly M••nna,* 1.2 the pretious food of our soules, we must repair to the rock Christ Iesus, and there knock off all those domineering lusts, and disordered affections, that irregularity of our wills, and perversnesse of our judgments; and then, and not till then, shall we taste, how good the Lord is, and come to our selves again.
