Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 6:32

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

Our Lord repeateth the Precept before given v. 25. wherein he forbids not all Moderate, and Provident thoughts for things necessary, but only such thoughts as shall argue our d strust in God, or perplex and distract our Minds or be inconsistent with our Duty, and imployment of our thoughts about higher, and b[illegible: 1 letter]tter things This he here pre[illegible: 1 letter]et[illegible: 1 letter] by 2 Arguments. 1. Because these are the things which People spend all their thoughts upon, who are not aware that they have Souls to take care for, or do notunderstand the Providence of God, or have no such Relation to God, as Christians have who call God Father. 2. You have (saith he) an heaven[illegible: 1 letter]y Father, who being the God of Heaven knoweth what you need, and being your Father will supply also your needs.
