to Adam / and Abel / when the fire from heaven / burned there sacrifice Gene. 4.9.17. Exod. 12. so unto us: unto whom he hath given the same word Ro. 1. hath given for the confirmation thereof his dear son Jesus Christ / born / dead / and resuscitated from death to show us him self and to teach us that he is our God to saw us from the servitude of hell / and sin / and to help us as many times as we call unto him in christs name. for only in him we cum to the acknowledge of God that he will be our God. Though the Jew / and the Turk / know there is but one God / and after there religion would honour him: yet doubt they whether he taketh cure of them / will hire there 2peticions / will be honoured of them / and how he will be be honoured. for they have not the word of God / as Christ gave it but as they falsely interpret it / to the contumely / and dishonour of Christ. But we know him to be our God as this commandment saith: in Christ Jesus / Joan. 1. Matt. 11. Jo. 16.

Rom. 6. Esa. 53. The effect now of this part of the commandment is: to declare / and bring man unto a knowledge of God as ye see. and once known by his word / requireth also mans duty / to honour him / in true / and perfect religion. the which consisteth in fear / faith / and love. the which three points Moses diligently / and at large declareth / in the 6.7.8.9.10.11. Chapters of Deut. and doth nothing else in all them / but expound this first commandment. I will show the partly how / and then read the places / and learn more by thy self. In the beginning of the 6.
