Sermons on Deuteronomy (continued)
On Thursday the fifteenth of
August 1555 The 58th sermon which is the
first upon the eight Chapter
1. Keep all the commandments which I have commanded you this day to do them: that you may live and increase, and go in and possess the land by right of inheritance, which the Lord swore to your fathers.
2. And be mindful of all the way where through the Lord my God had made me to walk these forty years in the wilderness: to the intent to afflict and try me, that he might know what is in your heart, and see whether you would keep his commandments or no.
3. He afflicted you, and made you to endure hunger, and fed you with manna which neither you, nor your fathers knew, to make me to know that man lives not only by bread, but that man lives by all that ever comes out of the mouth of the Lord.
4. The raiment has not won upon me, neither had your food been swollen all these forty years.
