The fourth petition is, Geue vs this day our dayly bread: In this petition we com∣mende our bodies to Gods prouidence, desiring, that he would feed, chearish and preserue them. And this petitiō, the Lord hath set before the other two following, (which concerne not earthly and corpo∣rall blessings, but spirituall and heauenly) to helpe our dulnesse, and weaknesse, that so by degrees he might lift vp our mindes to seeke after those greater blessings. And here we be willed to aske of God our bread, that is, such as it shall please our heauenly father to giue vs, for the susten∣tation of our life: where we see this peti∣tion is as necessarie for the rich as for the poore. Lastly, these wordes, this day, or euerie day, and this Epithet dayly serue to moderate our affections and desires in these transitorie blessings.
