John Trapp on Matthew 6:27

Verse 27. Which of you by taking thought, can adde one cubite [illegible: 2 words] stature?] And as little able are we (though we take never so much care and pains) to adde [illegible: 1 word] mite to that dimension of our [illegible: 1 word], which God by his wise and powerfull providence [illegible: 1 word] allotted unto us. Every man shall have his statute-measure, [illegible: 1 word] [non-Latin text not transcribed] slint and proportion in his estate, as well as in his stature, to the [illegible: 1 word] 12 [illegible: 1 word]. [illegible: 2 words]. [illegible: 1 word]. [illegible: 1 word]. which he shall come and not exceed. All carking care therefore is bootlesse and unprofitable. Men may eat up their hearts thereby, and trouble their houses, Prov. 15. 27. (what with labour, [illegible: 1 word] what with passion, a covetous man and his houshold never live at [illegible: 1 word], all is continually on a tumult of haste and hurry) [illegible: 1 word] cannot adde any thing to their [illegible: 1 word] or [illegible: 1 word], much I [illegible: 1 word] to [illegible: 1 word] spirituall growth, which is hereby exceedingly hindered and hide-bound: as we see in the [illegible: 2 words], the [illegible: 1 word] young Pharisee, and those other, that being called to be Christs disciples, were so taken up with the care of their worldly [illegible: 1 word], that they could finde no present [illegible: 1 word] to follow Christ.
