If this be so, that all temporal blessings depend on Gods kingdom, then we for the most part live after a most preposterous order and manner: for we care more for the body then we do for the soul: for this life, more then for the life to come: more for meat and drink, then for the kingdom of heaven.
If this be so, that all temporall blessings depend on Gods kingdome, thē we for the most part liue after a most preposterous order and maner: for wee care more for the body then we do for the soule: for this life, more then for the life to come: more for meate and drinke, then for the kingdome of heauen.
