In the sixth he setteth out the fountain off all commandments: that is, that they believe how that there is but one God that doeth all, and therefore ought only to be loved with all the hereto, all the soul and all the might. For love only is the fulfilling of the commandments, as Paul also sayeth unto, the Romans and Galatians likewise. He warneth them also that they forget not the commandments, but teach them their children and to show the ir children also how God delivered them out of the bondage of the Egyptians to serve him and his commandments, that the children might see a cause to work of love, likewise.
In the sixte he setteth out the fountayne off all commaundmentes: that is, that they beleue how that there is but one God that doeth all, and therfore ought onlye to be loued with all the herto, all the soule and all the myghte. For loue only is the fulfillinge of the commaundementes, as Paule also sayeth vnto, the Romaynes and Galathians likewise. He warneth thē also that they forgett not the commaundmentes, but teach thē their childern ād to shew the ir childern also how God delyuered thē out of the bondage of the Egiptiās to serue him and his commaundmētes, that the childern myght se a cause to worke of loue, likewise.
The seventh is all together of faith: he removeth all occasions that might withdraw them from the faith, and pulleth them also from all confidence in them selves, and stirreth them up to trust in god boldly and only.
The seuēth is all together of faith: he remoueth all occasiōs that might withdrawe them from the fayth, and pulleth them also from all confidence in them selues, and sturreth thē vp to trust in god boldlye and onlye.
Of the eight chapter thou seest how that the cause of all temptation is, that a man might so his own heart. For when I am brought in to that extremity that I must ether suffer or forsake god, then I shall feel how much I believe and trust in him, and how much I love him. In like manner, if my brother do me evil for my good, then if I love him when there is no cause in him, I see that my love was of god, and even so if I then hate him, I feel and perceive that my love was but worldly, And finally he stirreth them to the faith and love of god, and driveth them from all confidence of their own selves.
