Yet further, they that wander for bread, must be content with the coursest bread, and with a little of that; they are often glad if they get but a dry or mouldy crust of bread to satisfy the cry of hunger. So then, To wander about for bread, is to live a beggars life, or to be driven to the utmost shifts to sustain life, and keep from starving.

To be brought to a piece of bread (of our own) is to be brought to the lowest ebb in worldly things,1 (Prov. 6.26.) By means of a whorish woman, a man is brought to a piece of bread; That is, he is made very poor. And if he be at a low ebb, who hath but a piece of bread of his own: what are they who are forced to ask so low as a piece of bread of others? To want bread is ill, but wonder about for bread is far worse. He that wants bread is pinched, but he that wanders for it is disgraced.
