Moses exhorteth the people to fear God. to a void the punishment / that followeth the contempt of God's commandment. and this is the most apt / and best way / to persuade people / that careth for no virtue / nor will not be moved with any promise / or reward / that followeth well doing. I am a Jealous God / and the lord thy God is in the middle of thee. Which words declareth / that when people will not obey his commandments / and receive his love / and favour: he waxeth anger / and useth the extreme remedy / the scourge of adversity / that who so ever will not willingly be fere means bow / be force shall be constrained to break. for nothing can ⟨p. XLV⟩resist / when he will punish. The first point the refore / of religion / is the fear of God. The second is faith / and confidence in his word. Therefore saith Moses: Audi Israel, dominus Deus noster unus est, That is to say: Hire O Israel / the lord / our God / is one God. Deut. 6. in this one God / thou shalt put all thy trust / and believe. To persuade this faith into there hearts Moses put not only the deliverance out of Egypt before there facis / But also the Seven most mighty princes of the world. Hittheum. Girgaseum / Aemorreū / Cananeum / Pherizeum / Hiveum / and Jebuseum. Deut. 7. and in the same chapter he repeateth and inculcateth into the ere this religion and faith / saying / scias itaque quod dn̄s Deus tuus ipse est Deus, Deus fidelis &c. That is to say / know thou that the lord / thy God / he is the only / and true God / and so forth. Then read unto the end of the 11. chapter how busy and diligent Moses is / heaping argument / upon argument to persuade the people to believe God / and his word / and to stablish this commandment / and rout it in there / and our hearts. All the works of God heaven and Earth / all the Miracles wrought in the old Testament / and in the new were done to prove unto mortal man this precept to be true. I am the lord / thy god / and be none other thing but interpretations of this commandment ⟨p. XLVI⟩to stablish the verity of his word. The third is love / wherefore he saith love the lord / thy God with all thy hart / all thy soul / and with all thy pour Deut. 6. Moses in the end of the chapter / showeth wherefore this our God should beloved. he will give you saith he the land that ye never deserved freely for his promise sake. and in the 7.
Moses exortithe the people to fere God. to a vayde the punishement / that folowithe the contempt of Godes commaundement. and this is the moost apt / and best way / to perswade people / that carithe for no vertew / nor will not be mouid with ony promesse / or reward / that folowithe well doing.
