That in this part of the Law, the nature and righteousness of god is expressed, the image of god doth show; whereunto man was created. For seeing this image of god consisteth in true righteousness and holiness, Ephes. 5. and that righteousness & holiness is described & comprised in the Law. Deut. 12. Ezech. 20. it followeth then, that this is the image of god, whereunto man ought to be conformed, which is expressed in the law. The same is taught by many testimonies of Scripture, which affirm that god is delighted with this righteousness, which he commandeth in the Law, and that he doth such things, as that is, and hateth the contrary.
