¶ The ten commandments.

¶ The tenne commaundementes.

The first and most excellent table of Moses containeth three commandments / and doth show unto us what we owe to God / that is to say / what we ought to do or to eschew / concerning those things which specially pertain unto God. Therefore in the first of all the commandments / we are taught what god requireth in every mans heart / and what man ought to judge & think of him / that is that he look ever for the best of him / even as of a father or of a special friend / & that with out doubting or any ⟨image 21⟩mistrust / with constant faith / trust / & love ever fearing to displease him / even as kind children fear to displease their natural fathers. For very nature doth teach that there is one God / of whom all our goodness springeth which is our succour in all adversity for this did the heathen grant unto their idols.

THe fyrst and most excellent table of Moyses conteyneth thre commaundementes / and doth shewe vnto vs whate we owe to God / that is to sey / whate we ought to do or to eschewe / concernyng those thinges whiche specially pertyne vnto God. Therfore in the first of all the cōmaundemētes / we are taught what god requyreth in euery mannes hert / and what man ought to iudge & thynke of hym / that is that he loke euer for the best of hī / euen as of a father or of a special frend / & that with out doutyng or any ⟨image 21⟩mistrust / with cōstant faythe / truste / & loue euer fearyng to displease hym / euen as kinde chyldren feare to displease theyre naturall fathers. For very nature doth teache that there is one God / of whome all oure goodnesse spryngeth whiche is our socoure in all aduersite for this dyd the hethen graunt vnto theyr ydolles.
