Here is not forbidden all manner of care,1 but that worldly and devilish care that springeth of an inordinate love to worldly things, and of mistrust in god. As for an ensample. I covet inordinately more then sufficient, or but even that I have need of. And it (because I mistrust God & have no hope in him, & therefore pray not to him) cometh not. Then I mourn / sorrow and pine away / and am whole unquiet in mine heart. Or whether I have much or but sufficient, and love it inordinately, then I care for the keeping. And because I mistrust god & have no hope in him, that he will help me therefore when I have locked doors, chambers and coffers. I am never the near at rest, but care still & cast a thousand perils, of which the most part were not in my might to avoid though I never sleep. And where this care is, there can the word of God have no resting place, but is choked up as soon as it is sown. ❧ / ❧
