These words contain Christs seventh reason against distrustful1 care: the effect whereof is this, every day of mans life hath care enough and grief sufficient, through the business that falls out thereon and belongs unto it, and therefore we are not to add thereunto another days care and grief, for so we should bring upon our selves more care and grief then needs.

The morrow, that is, the time to come, shall care for itself. Here Christ answers a question which might be made from the former commandment; for having forbidden care for the morrow, some might say; How shall we do on the morrow, and the time to come? Christ answers, This days care must be to day, and to morrows care to morrow, each day must have his own care: such care as is fit and needful for the time present must now be taken, and such things as are now needful must now be sought for: but such care as is fit to be taken in the time to come, must be put off to his proper time; and things then needful, must then be sought for, when their fit time saleth out: every time and every day must have his proper care alone.
The morrow, that is, the time to come, shall care for itselfe. Here Christ answers a question which might be made from the former commandement; for hauing forbidden care for the morrow, some might say; How shall we doe on the morrowe, and the time to come? Christ answers, This daies care must be to day, and to morrowes care to morrowe, each day must haue his owne care: such care as is fit and needfull for the time present must now be taken, and such things as are now needfull must now be sought for: but such care as is fit to be taken in the time to come, must be put off to his proper time; and things then needfull, must then be sought for, when their fit time salleth out: euery time and euery day must haue his proper care alone.
