[This day] We say not here this week, this month, this age, but this day, what means this? may ye not provide for the time to ⟨image 48⟩come? Answer. It is lawful, yea, a man is bound in good manner to provide for time to come. Act. 11. 28. The Apostles provide for the Church in Judea, against the time of dearth, spoken of by Agabus. And Joseph in Egypt, in the years of plenty, stored up against the years of famine. Wherefore, in these words, our Saviour his meaning, is only to condemn all distrust full care, and to teach us to rest on his fatherly goodness from day to day, in every season: this is noted unto us, Numb. 11. where the Israelites were commanded to gather no more Manna, than would serve for one day, & if they did, it putrefied. Whereby God taught them, to rest on his providence every particular day, and not on the means.
