The harmony of the divine attributes in the contrivance and accomplishment of man's redemption…

1. Manna was an eminent Type of him. Accordingly the Apostle declares of the Israelites, they did all eat the same Spiritual meat, not in respect of its Material but Symbolical Nature. The express Analogy between Manna and Christ, is visible in respect of its marvellous production. The Mosaical Manna was not the fruit of the Earth procured by humane industry, but formed by the Divine Power, and rained down upon them: therefore 'tis called the Corn of Heaven. This typified the celestial original of our Redeemer. He is the true bread from Heaven, given by the Father. ¹He is called the gift of God eminently, being the richest and freest, without any merit or endeavour of Men to procure it. And we may observe the truth infinitely exceeded the Type; for Manna descended only from the Clouds, therefore our Saviour tells the Jews, Moses gave ye not that bread from Heaven. But he really came from Heaven, where the great and Glorious Presence of God is manifested, and appeared under a visible form in the World. Manna was only styled the Bread of Angels, to signify its excellency above common food, but the bread of God is he which cometh down from Heaven.
