The uses. 1. In that Christ bids us pray for bread and not for dainties;1 hereby he would teach us to beware of covetousness, the common2 sin of our nature whereby we are discontent with our estate, & murmur with the Israelites, if we have no more but Manna: but we must strive against this corruption, and say with David, Lord, incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not unto covetousness, Psal. 119. 36.
