And here, lest ye should deceive your self by wrong measure, God him self hath showed you, 1what Perfection he requireth. Thus he saith, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy Harte, with all thy Soul, with all thy Power: Ye shall not turn, neither to the Right hand, nor to the Left: Accursed is he, that standeth not in every thing, that is written in the Law, to perform the same. And S. James saith, Who so offendeth in one Commandment, is guilty of all. And Christ saith, Be ye Perfect (not measuring your selves by your own ability, but) as your Father is Perfect, which is in Heaven. And yet hereby he meaneth not the Perfection, that is in God, and his Angels, but only that Perfection, that is required in Man.
And here, leste ye shoulde deceiue your selfe by wronge measure, God him selfe hathe shewed you, 1what Perfection he requireth. Thus he saithe, Thou shalt loue the Lorde thy God with al thy Harte, with al thy Soule, with al thy Power: Ye shal not turne, neither to the Right hand, nor to the Lefte: Accursed is he, that standeth not in euery thinge, that is written in the Lawe, to perfourme the same. And S. Iames saithe, VVho so offendeth in one Commaundemente, is guilty of al. And Christe saithe, Be ye Perfite (not measuring your selues by your owne habilitie, but) as your Father is Perfite, whiche is in Heauen. And yet hereby he meaneth not the Perfection, that is in God, and his Angels, but onely that Perfection, that is required in Man.
