But when the order of the table of the ten commandments is set before us, we may manifestly in them declare the self-same thing.

Whervpon Luther in his Catechisme did in euerie precept of the later table, most prudentlie repeat the end of the first table. For example: Bicause God is to be loued with all the hart, and with all the soule; therefore thou shalt not kill. Againe, bicause God is to be loued with all ⟨p. 9⟩
