No man can serve two masters, for he shall ether hate the one and love the other, or cleave to the one, and despise the other, ye can ⟨image 99⟩serve God and Mammon.
No man can sarue two maysters, for he shall ether hate the one and loue the other, or cleaue to the one, and despyce the other, ye can ⟨image 99⟩sarue God and Mammon.
1Mammon is riches or abundance of goods. and Christ concludeth with a plain similitude, that as it is impossible to serve two contrary masters, & as it is impossible to be retained unto two diverse lords which are enemies one to the other / so is it impossible to serve God and Mammon. Two masters of one mind and one will might a man serve, for if one will, one mind and one accord be in twenty then are they all but one master. And two masters where one is under the other and a substitute, may a man serve. For the service of the inferior is the commandment of the superior As to serve and obey father, mother, husband master and lord is God's commandment But and if the inferior be of a contrary will to the superior, and command any contrary thing, then mayst thou not obey. For now they be two contrary masters,2 so God & Mammon are two contrary masters▪ yea two contrary Gods, & of contrary commandments.
1Māmon is reches or aboundance of goodes. and Chryste concludeth with a playne symylitude, that as it is impossyble to serue two contrary masters, & as it is impossyble to be retayned vnto two dyuerse lordes whiche are enymyes one to the other / soo is it impossyble to sarue God and Mammon. Two masters of one minde and one wyl might a mā serue, for if one wyll, one mynde and one accorde be in twenty then are they all but one master. And two maysters where one is vnder the other and a substytute, maye a man serue. For the seruyce of the inferior is the commaundement of the superior As to serue and obey father, mother, husbande master and lorde is Goddes commaundement But and yf the inferyor be of a contrarye wyll to the superyor, and commaunde any contrary thyng, thē mayst thou not obey. For nowe they be two contrary masters,
