Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God only,] In these words is contained the answer of our saviour Christ to the third temptation of the Devil. The words are taken out of Deut. 6▪ 13. where they are read thus, Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him. Now there may seem to be some difference in the words, as they be alleged by Christ: for in that place of Deuteronomy it is said, Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God: our saviour Christ saith, Thou shalt worship. Again, our saviour Christ adds a word, which is not added by Moses in that place, namely, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God only: this word only is not in that text of Moses.
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God only,] In these words is contained the answer of our sauiour Christ to the third temptation of the Diuell. The words are takē out of Deut. 6▪ 13. where they are read thus, Thou shalt feare the Lord thy God, and serue him. Now there may seeme to be some difference in the words, as they be alleaged by Christ: for in that place of Deuteronomy it is said, Thou shalt feare the Lord thy God: our sauiour Christ saith, Thou shalt worship. Againe, our sauiour Christ addes a word, which is not added by Moses in that place, namely, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God onely: this word onely is not in that text of Moses.
But if we understand two points concerning the alleging of scripture, there will appear to be no difference; the first is this, that Christ and his Apostles in their alleging of scripture, do not so much stick to the very syllables, as aim at the sense of the scriptures which they allege. The second thing is this, that our saviour Christ in alleging scripture, seeks to expound scripture, and to open it in alleging of it; and so doing, he may well add a word, when as the word he addeth maketh much for the meaning of the text.
