which seeth in secret, wil ″ repay the.

5And vvhen ye ∷[1] pray, you shal not be as the ″ hypocrites, that loue to stand and pray in the Synagogues & corners of the streetes, that they may be seen of men: Amen I say to you, they haue receiued their reward. 6But thou vvhen thou shalt pray, enter into thy chamber, and hauing shut the doore, pray to thy father in secret: and thy father which seeth in secret, wil repay thee. 7And when you are praying, speake not much, as the Heathen. For they thinke that in their ″ much-speaking they may be heard. 8Be not you therefore like to them, for your father knoweth what is needeful for you, before you aske him.

9Thus therefore shal you pray. Ovr father which art in heauen, sanctified be thy name. 10Let thy Kingdom come. Thy wil be done, as in heauen, in earth also. 11Giue vs to day our ∷[2] supersubstatial bread. 12And forgiue vs our ″ debtes, as we also forgiue our debtors. 13And ″ leade vs not into tentation. But deliuer vs from euil. Amen. 14For ″ if you wil forgiue men their offences, your heauenly father wil forgiue you also your offences. 15But if you wil not forgiue men, neither wil your father forgiue you your offences.

16And when you ∷[3] fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appeare unto men to fast. Amen I say to you, that they haue receiued their reward.

17But thou when thou doest fast, anoynt thy head, and wash thy face: 18that thou appeare not to men to fast, but to thy father which is in secret: and thy father which seeth in secret, wil repay thee.

19Heape not vp to your selues treasures on the earth: where the rust & mothe do corrupt, & vvhere theeues digge through and steale. 20But heape vp to your selues treasures in heauen: where neither the rust nor mothe doth corrupt, and where theeues do not digge through nor steale. 21For where thy treasure is, there is thy hart also.22The candel of thy body is thine eye. If thine eye be simple, thy whole body shal be lightsome. 23But if thine eye be naught: thy whole body shal be darkesome. If then the light that is in thee, be darkenes: the darkenes itself how great shal it be?

24No man can serue ″ two masters. For either he wil hate the one, and loue the other: or he wil sustayne the one, and contemne the other. You cannot serue God and Mammon.

25Therfore I say to you, be not ″ careful for your life, what you shal eate, neither for your body what rayment you shal put on. Is not the life more then the meate: and the body more then the rayment? 26Behold the foules of the ayre, that they sow not, neither reape, nor gather into barnes: and your heauenly father feedeth them. Are not you much more of price then they? 27And which of you by caring, can adde to his stature one cubite? 28And for rayment why are you careful? Consider the lilies of the field how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spinne. 29But I say to you, that neither Salomon in al his glorie was arayed as one of these. 30And if the grasse of the field, which to day is, and to morow is cast into the
