The Lord had taught above, that whoso desires to love God, and to take heed not to offend, should not think that he can serve two masters; lest though perhaps he may not look for superfluities, yet his heart may become double for the sake of very necessaries, and his thoughts bent to obtain them.
“Therefore I say unto you, Be not ye careful for your life what ye shall eat, or for your body what ye shall put on.”
