See ye, said Jesus Christ saith Jesus, seek ye the kingdom of heaven
and his its righteousness, and all those things (no matter to the present
purpose what things) shall be added unto you: a precept which
if delivered in modern times and in the language of modern times might have run
thus. Honesty is the best policy: or thus: the rules of probity are also rules of prudence.
The converse of this precept might have served in the shape of
an instruction to the man of law. For kingdom of heaven put read
or any other opposite kingdom, for righteousness, unrighteousness
or more specifically extortion. Seek yewhat is your direct, your primary object the kingdom of
(or in the rougher language of the century before the last the kingdom
of hell and its unrighteousness (the unrighteousness that leads to it) and
your secondary, your collateral object, case, shall be added unto
you.
