    25Therfore I say vnto you, be not carefull for your lyfe, what ye shall eate, or drynke: nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the lyfe more worth then meate? & the body then rayment?

    26Beholde the fowles of the ayre: For they sowe not, neither do they reape, nor cary into the barnes: yet your heauenly father feedeth them. Are ye not much better then they?

    27Which of you, by takyng of carefull thought, can adde one cubite vnto his stature?

    28And why care ye for rayment? Learne of the Lylies of the fielde, howe they growe. They weery not them selues with labour, neither do they spinne:

    29And yet I say vnto you, that euen Solomon in all his royaltie, was not arayed lyke one of these.

    30Wherfore, yf God so clothe the grasse of the fielde, which though it stande to day, is to morowe cast into the ouen: shall he not much more do the same for you, O ye of litle fayth?

    31Therefore take no thought, saying: What shall we eate? or, what shall we drynke? or, wherewith shall we be clothed?

    34Care not then for the morowe: for the morowe shall care for it selfe. Sufficient vnto the day, is the euyll therof.

    26If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least: why take ye thought for the remnaunt?

    27Consider the Lylies how they growe, they labour not, they spinne not: and yet I say vnto you, that Solomon in al his royaltie was not clothed lyke one of these.
