Luke12:31
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew saith, seek first the Kingdom of God, and the Righteousness thereof, and these things shall be added, &c. The particle [non-Latin text not transcribed] prefixed here to [non-Latin text not transcribed] (which we Translate Rather seek) doth expound Matthew's [non-Latin text not transcribed], first seek, and likewise Expounds our Saviours meaning, when he said, Take no thought, what you should Eat, &c. That is, let not those be your only or principal thoughts, Quin etiam, tantum maxime. But also, and mostly, or chiefly, seek ye the Kingdom of God, that Kingdom mentioned in the next Verse, and all these things shall be added to you, either an Affluence of them; or a sufficiency of them, with a contented satisfyed mind.
