And if you look into the New Testament you will find, that several promises which are given out in the Old-Testament, upon special and extraordinary occasions, assuring help beyond means; are brought down into the New-Testament for us to apply there. When the Devil came to tempt our Lord and Saviour, to turn stones into bread: says our Saviour, Man lives not by bread alone, but every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. 1Now if you look into the eighth of Deuteronomy, and the third verse, you will find, that those words were spoken upon an extraordinary occasion, help beyond means: He humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with Manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know: that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord.
