Our Saviour Christ having laid down his Preface, doth here begin his interpretation of the Law, being indeed the only true doctor of his Church; and herein especially he doth meddle with the second Table, beginning first of all, with the sixth Commandment, touching Murder. In the handling whereof, he observeth this order; First, he setteth down the false interpretation of this law, by the Scribes and Pharisees, in this verse: Secondly, he showeth the true meaning of it, v. 22. And lastly, he propoundeth rules of concord and agreement between those that be at variance, verses 23, 24, 25, 26.
