2. Christ took bread because of the Analogy; Bread did nearly resemble him, John 6. 48. I am that bread of life. There is a threefold resemblance. 1. Bread is useful. Other comforts are more for delight than use. Music delights the ear, colour• the eye, but Bread is the staff of Life. So is Christ useful. There is no subsisting without him, John 6. 57. He that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
