Therefore I say unto you, care not for your lives what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, nether for your bodies what ye shall put on. Is not the life more then mete, & the body more then the raiment?
Therfore I saye vnto you, care not for your lyues what ye shal eate, or what ye shal drinke, nether for your bodyes what ye shal put on. Is not the lyfe more then mete, & the body more then the rayment?
He that buildeth a costly house even to the tiling, will not leave there & lose so great cost for so small a trifle more. No more will he that gave the so precious a soul and so beautiful a body, let ether of them perish again before the day, for so small a thing as food or raiment. God never made mouth but he made mete for it, nor body but he made raiment also. How be it Mammon blindeth our eyes, so that we can nether see nor judge a right.
He that buyldeth a costely house euen to the tylynge, wyl not leue there & lose so great cost for so smal a tryfle more. No more wyll he that gaue the so precyous a soule and so beutyful a body, let ether of them perishe agayne before the day, for so smal a thing as fode or raymēt. God neuer made mouth but he made mete for it, nor body but he made reymēt also. How be it Māmon blyndeth our eyes, so that we can nether se nor iudge a ryght.
