John6:33

33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world .

Moses gave you Spiritual, Heavenly Bread; but that was onely Spiritual, as it was Typical and prefigured me; Heavenly, as it came from the lower Heavens, was rained down from thence; not made upon the Earth by the Art of man, and was therefore called the Bread of Angels; but I am the true bread of God, signified by that Type, who came not down from the lower, but from the highest Heavens; and who do not only maintain, and uphold Life in men (as that did) but give Life to men; and that not a mere Natural Life, but a Spiritual and Eternal Life; and that not to the Iews onely, for whose [illegible: 1 word] alone Manna was, but to the World.
