The patriarchs / prophets / Christ / and the Apostles / which would rather suffer death / then deny the profession of the gospel / Matt. 16.2. Tim. 3. Psal. 123.115. There be many other causes why God punisheth / and why the punishments should be patiently taken / It were a book matter to rehearse them. I will only speak of one cause more that Moses writeth in the same 8. cap. and pass over the rest. God made them hunger / and fed them with mere from heaven / that they should know / man livid not only by bred: but of all things / that proceed from the mouth of God. Some men understand that Moses meaneth that the body liveth with bred corporal / and the soul with the word of God / seeing that man consisteth of those too parts: the body / and the soul. It is true / and a god interpretation / how ⟨p. LVI⟩be it / if these words be referred only to the body in this place of Moses / it shall be consonant with the circumstance of the text / and declare his purpose the better. Though man put mete into his body that of his one nature men judge to nourish / yet except the favour and grace of God digest / and dispose it / into every member of the body / it nourisheth not: as we see in money men that eateth much and many times in the day: yet is nothing the stronger. The physicians call this disease apepsian / cruditatem when there is no digestion at all sometime dispepsian Depravatam concoctionem / when the mete is turned in to a contrary quality. sometime urady pepsian / Tardam concoctionem. When the stomach digesteth with difficulty and long protract of time. this I speak only to this purpose that nether mete / nether medicine / nether physician a availeth: except God say amen. if thou wilt take profit of the thing thou eatest: follow the physic of Paul 1. Tim. 4. speaking of the met. sanctificatur per sermonem Dei, ac precationē. it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. it is not only lawful for the to eat it / but also God will give the nourishment. That the met and drink feedeth not the body with out the favour and blessing of God: it is declared Levit. 26. Ose. 4. Miche. 6. ye shall eat and yet not be satisfied. Thus doth Christs Answer unto the devil
