A. Ordinary and usual bread, whereof we do every day stand in need,1 being fittest for our substance, to preserve soul and body together, & to nourish and cherish us here in this life. Thus it importeth the very same thing that the Wise man setteth out under this phrase,a Bread of my allowance, or convenient for me. This word is thus here used to distinguish the food here meant, from that which bcoming down from heaven endureth to everlasting life, whereof whosoever eateth shall never be hungry, or thirst again: and to prescribe a mean to our desire.
A. Ordinary and vsuall bread, whereof we doe euery day stand in need,1 being fittest for our substance, to preserue soule and body together, & to nourish and cherish vs here in this life. Thus it importeth the very same thing that the Wise man setteth out vnder this phrase,a Bread of my allowance, or conuenient for me. This word is thus here vsed to distinguish the food here meant, from that which bcomming downe from heauen endureth to euerlasting life, whereof whosoeuer eateth shall neuer bee hungry, or thirst againe: and to prescribe a meane to our desire.
- 1[Greek or Hebrew]. This word is very ambiguous. The vulgar Latin translates it supersubstantialem, as if [Greek or Hebrew] were put for [Greek or Hebrew]. Which many following do expound this Petition of that bread of God which came down from heaven, even Jesus Christ. Whereof see §. 82. Others make the notation to bee [Greek or Hebrew], ad substantiam, q. d. [Greek or Hebrew], bread helpful to our substance, or fit and meet to nourish us. Thus is it answerable to that phrase used by the Wise-man, Pro. 30. 8. [Greek or Hebrew] Panis praescripti, vel demensi mei (i) mihi praescriptus, aut mihi suctentando idoneus. The Syriac Translator of the New Testament seemeth to follow this sense, who thus expresseth it, [Greek or Hebrew] panem necessitatis nostrae, that which we have daily need of. Others derive this word [Greek or Hebrew] from [Greek or Hebrew], the participle of [Greek or Hebrew] adsum, vel supersto, vel subsequor, whence the morrow is called [Greek or Hebrew] scil. [Greek or Hebrew], Thus it signifieth bread needful for the present, panem advenientem, as Saint Augustine acknowledgeth the Greek word to signify, though he translates it supersubstantialem. Serm, 18. de verb. Dom. Latinus hunc panem quotidianum dixit, quia Graeci dicunt advenientem. And in Enchir. c. 116. Panis quotidianus ideo dictus est, quia hic est necessarius. The common Translation of the word, quotidianum, daily, may well stand with either of the two latter notations. Answerably to the common Translation: Saint Cyprian termeth it diurnam cibam, daily food. Cypr. de Orat. Dom. §. 14.〈non-Latin alphabet〉. This word is very ambiguous. The vulgar Latine translates it supersubstantialem, as if 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 were put for 〈non-Latin alphabet〉. Which many following doe expound this Petition of that bread of God which came down from heauen, euen Iesus Christ. Whereof see §. 82. Others make the notation to bee 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, ad substantiam, q. d. 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, bread helpfull to our substance, or fit and meet to nourish vs. Thus is it answerable to that phrase vsed by the Wise-man, Pro. 30. 8. 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 Panis praescripti, vel demensi mei (i) mihi praescriptus, aut mihi suctentando idoneus. The Syriack Translater of the New Testament seemeth to follow this sense, who thus expresseth it, 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 panem necessitatis nostrae, that which wee haue dayly need of. Others deriue this word 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 from 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, the participle of 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 adsum, vel supersto, vel subsequor, whence the morrow is called 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 scil. 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, Thus it signifieth bread needfull for the present, panem advenientem, as Saint Augustine acknowledgeth the Greeke word to signifie, though he translates it supersubstantialem. Serm, 18. de verb. Dom. Latinus hunc panem quotidianum dixit, quia Graeci dicunt advenientem. And in Enchir. c. 116. Panis quotidianus ideo dictus est, quia hic est necessarius.
