Say, It is written: Man shall not live in bread only, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of god.1 They which seek the lord, shall want no goodness. I have been young,2 and am waxen old, and I have not seen the righteous forsaken.3 Lay thy care on the lord, and he shall nourish ⟨image 57⟩thee.4 Thou openest thy hand, and fillest every creature with thy blessing.5 Which giveth meat to the hungry. Be ye not careful. Christ fed with five barley loves and two fishes,6 five thousand men.7 The ravens brought meat to Elijah. Also, the angel brought meat from heaven to Elijah. Therefore the care of temporal things must be left to god: For food is given, and is not gotten with labour, yet god willeth us to labour.8
