Footnotes

  1. John 6:30 The spiritual virtue of Christ is contemned of them which are desirous of earthly miracles.
  2. John 6:32 Christ, who is the true and only author and giver of eternal life, was signified unto the fathers, in Manna.
  3. John 6:32 He denieth that Manna was that true heavenly bread, and saith that he himself is that true bread, because he feedeth unto the true and everlasting life. And as for that, that Paul 1 Cor. 10 calleth Manna spiritual food, it maketh nothing against this place, for he joineth the thing signified with the sign: but in this whole disputation, Christ dealeth with the Jews after their own opinion and conceit of the matter, and they had no further consideration of the Manna, but in that it fed the belly.
