1. To acquaint our selves with the Law of God. This is needful because 1.a By the Law is the knowledge of sin. 2Thereby therefore we shall know what sinners we are, and in how great need we do stand of pardon. 2.b By the Law is mans soul humbled,4 pricked and broken, and thereby prepared to seek pardon. 3. By the Law man is stripped of all self-conceit. cEvery mouth is stopped and all the world made guilty thereby.
