So you see the Arguments, both dissuasive, Labour not for the meat that perisheth, and persuasive, But for the meat that endureth to everlasting ⟨p. 167⟩life. I shall but touch the former, and principally insist upon the latter Branch.

To speak a little for the explication of the words. What is here meant by the meat that perisheth?
To speake a little for the explication of the words. What is heere meant by the meate that perisheth?
We must enlarge the sense according to our Saviours meaning; By the meat that perisheth, he doth not intend only outward food, but all outward things whatsoever, they are the meat that perisheth, all earthly and outward things are the food that the soul of a natural man feeds upon. The soul of a Covetous man feeds upon his money, applauding himself that he is worth so much and so much. The Ambitious man Chameleon like feeds upon the air, upon the airy applause of the people. The Sensual man feeds upon base and sensual pleasures, in a word, all carnal men, natural men are condemned to that sentence of the Serpent, to eat dust, to feed upon outward, earthly, perishing things. So that every thing that is not grace and glory or the means that lead to it, is a perishing thing.
