Therefore I say unto you be not ye careful for your life / what ye shall eat or what ye shall Drink: nor yet for your body what ye shall put on / is not the life more worth than the meat & the body more of value then raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not / neither reap nor yet carry into the barns: & yet your heavenly father fedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you (though he toke thought therefore) could put one cubit unto his stature? why care ye then for raiment? Consider the Lilies of the Field how they grow. They labour not / neither Spin. And yet for all that I say unto you / that even Solomon in all his royalty was not arrayed like unto one of these. Wherefore if GOD so Cloth the Grass / which is to Day in the Field / and to morrow shall be cast into the furnace / ⟨image 13⟩shall he not much more do the same unto you / o ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought / saying: what shall we eat / or what shall we drink? or wherewith shall we be clothed? After all such do the heathen seek / For your heavenly father knoweth / that ye have need of all the see things. Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven & the righteousness thereof / and all these things shall be ministered unto you. Math .vi. d.
Therfore I saye vnto you be not ye carefull for your life / what ye shall eate or what ye shall Dryncke: nor yet for youre body what ye shall put on / is not the lyfe more worth thē ye meate & the body more of value then raymēt? Beholde ye foules of the ayer: for they sow not / neither repe nor yet cary into ye barnes: & yet your heauenly father fedeth them. Are ye not moche better thē they? Which of you (though he toke thought therfor) could put one cubit vnto his stature? why care ye then for raiment? Consider the Lilies of the Feld howe they grow. They laboure not / neither Spinne. And yet for all that I saye vnto you / that even Salomon in all his royaltie was not arayed like vnto one of these. Wherfore if GOD so Cloth the Grasse / whyche is to Daye in the Felde / and to morrow shalbe cast into ye furnace / ⟨image 13⟩shall he not moch more do the same vnto you / o ye of lytle faith? Therfore take no thought / sayīg: what shal we eat / or what shall we drink? or wherwt shall we be clohed? After al such do ye heathen seke / For your heuenly father knoweth / that ye haue nede of all ye se thinges. Seke ye fyrst ye kingdom of heauē & the righteousnesse therof / and al these thynges shall be ministred vnto you.
