Give us our daily bread.
Gyue vs our dayly breade.
By bread is understand all manner of fusty naunce in the Hebrew speech / yea and here is understand ⟨image 82⟩thereby all that pertained unto the necessity of this life. If we have bread there is dearth of nothing that can pinch / namely in that land. Give us our daily bread. Give us all that the necessity of this life daily requireth. Give it us day by day, as we need it. we desire not to have store for many years, to exclude all necessity of praying to thee, and to be as it were out of thy danger, and to forget thee. But minister it day by day, that we may daily feel thy benefits and never forget thee. Or if thou give us abundance above that we desire, then give us an heart to use it and to bestow it for that purpose thou gavest it and to deal with our neighbours, & not to love it inordinately, but to think that it is thine, and that thou mayst take it away every hour and that we be content that thou so do at thy pleasure, and so ever to have it but for daily bread.
