Matthew 6

^{1 !} Of almes.

^{2 a} Whose workes procede not of a right faith, but are done for vaine glorie.

^{2 b} In that thei are praised & commended of men.

^{3 c} It is sufficient that God approue our workes.

^{4 d} In that day when all things shal be reueiled.

^{5 !} Prayer.

^{6 e} Withdrawe thy self rather aparte.

^{7 /} Or, bable not muche.

^{7 f} He commandeth vs to beware of muche babling & superfluous repetes.

^{8 g} Who is not persudaded by eloquent speache, and long talke, as men are.

^{9 i} We must seeke Gods glorie first, and aboue all things.

^{9 h} Christ bindeth them not to the wordes, but to the sense and forme of prayers.

^{10 k} Reigne thou ouer all, and let vs render vnto thee perfit obedience, as thine Angels do.

^{13 l} To be ouercome thereby.

^{13 m} This conclusion excludeth mans merites, and teacheth vs to grounde our prayers onely on God.

^{14 !} Forgiuing one another,

^{16 !} Fasting.

^{16 n} Make their faces to seme of another sorte then they were wonte to do.

^{17 o} Whereby is commanded to auoyde all vaine ostentation.

^{19 !} He forbiddeth the careful seeking of worldlie things, & willeth men to put their whole trust in him.

^{22 p} If thine eye be disposed to liberalitie, {prouer. 21,9}

^{23 q} If thine affection be corrupt & giuen to couetousnes, {deu. 15,9}

^{23 r} If the concupiscence, & wicked affections ouercome reason, we must not marueil thogh men be blinded, & be like vnto beastes.

^{25 s} Mans trauel nothing auaileth where God giueth not increase.

^{28 t} The goodnes of God euen towards the herbes of the field, farre passeth all things that man can compasse by his power and labour.

^{28 u} The worde signifieth, they weary not them selues.

^{32 x} With care and distrust.

^{33 y} That is, to be regenerate, and amende, your liues.

^{34 /} Or, his owne things.

^{34 z} God wil prouide for euerie day that that shalbe necessarie, thogh we do not increase, the present griefe by the carefulnes how to liue in time to come.
