You

be,
great
in
this world, but
you
have
very
much
in the kingdome
of
Heaven.
Now
for
that

are
thefe feverall things,
to
be
Coni-
dered

this
kingdome; And
feeknot ye what

What
are
the
thoughts
of
pobre
people,
even
of
poore
Godly
people
many
times,
what
fhall
we
eat,
what
fall
we
drink,; how shall
I
provide
for my Family
but
be not
of
doubtful'
minds
:
Thofe that Chrift
fpake
too were
in
as
hard
a
Condition,
I
beleeve,
as
almoll
any
Godly
poore
are
that
hear
me
this day
;
yet
be nor
troubled
, why
Should
,
we
not
feeke for what we
ihould eat
and
drinke, &c.
For
all
t1,-efe
things
doe
the
Nations
of
the
world feeke
after
;
and your
Father
knoweth
that
you'have
need
of
thefe
things
: B.ot
rather
feekye the
kjngdorue
of

and all
thefe
things
(hall
be
added
unto
you
Feere
not

Looke
after
the
kingdome
of
Jefús Chrifl,
if
you

that,
you have
enough,
and
though
you be
a
little
little
flock,
yet 'tis
your
Fathers pleafure
to
give
you
a
kingdome.
As
if
Chrifl fhould fay, The Confide-
ration
of this
that
your
Father
bath
appointed
a
kingdome
for
you, and
doth
give
you
a
kingdome,
fhould
quiet
your
hearts
}n
all
thofe firaights
that
you
are in,
in
refpe&
of

poore
'Condition. But
now for
the particulars
(

Firfl Confider
,
Fie
