¹ Take hede to youre almes, that ye geue it not in the syght of men, to the intent that ye wolde be sene of them: or els, ye get no rewarde of youre father which is in heauen. ² When soeuer therfore thou geuest thine almes, thou shalt not make a trompet to be blowen before the, as the ypocrites do in the synagoges and in the stretes, for to be praysed of me.

For thyne is the kyngdome, and the power, and the glorye for euer. Amen. ¹⁴ For yf ye forgeue other men their treaspases, youre heauenly father shall also forgeue you. ¹⁵ But and ye wyll not forgeue me their trespases, nomore shall youre father forgeue you youre trespases. ¹⁶ Moreouer when ye fast, be not sad as ye ypocrytes are. For they disfigure their faces, that they myght be sene of men to fast. Verely I saye vnto you: they haue their rewarde. ¹⁷ But thou, whe thou fastest, annoynte thyne heed, and wash thy face, ¹⁸ that it appeare not vnto men, that thou fastest: but vnto thy father which is in secrete: and thy father which seyth in secrete, shal rewarde the openly. ¹⁹ Se that ye gather you not treasure vpon the earth, where rust and mothes corrupte, and where theues breake through and steale. ²⁰ But gather you treasure together in heauen, where nether rust nor mothes corrupte, and where theues nether breake vp nor yet steale. ²¹ For where youre treasure is, there is youre herte also. ²² The eye is the light of the body.

Are ye not moch better the they? ²⁷ Which of you (though he toke thought therfore) coulde put one cubit vnto his stature? ²⁸ why care ye then for rayment? Considre the lylies of the felde, how they growe. They laboure not, nether spynne. ²⁹ And yet for all that I saye vnto you, that euen Salomon in all his royalte was not arayed lyke vnto one of these. ³⁰ Wherfore yf God so cloth the grasse, which is to daye in the felde, and to morowe shalbe cast into the fornace: shal he not moch more do the same vnto you, o ye of lytle fayth? ³¹ Therfore take no thought, sayinge: what shall we eate, or what shall we drinke? or where with shall we be clothed? ³² After all soch thynges do the heithen seke. For youre heauenly father knoweth, that ye haue nede of all these thynges. ³³ Seke ye fyrst the kyngdome of heauen and the righteousnes therof, so shal all these thynges be ministred vnto you. ³⁴ Care not then for the morow, for the morow shall care for it self: Euery daye hath ynough of his owne trauayll.
