To the knowledge therefore of our sin (without which we cannot repent, or be sorry for our sin,) let us secondly get us Gods Law, as a glass to look in: and that not only literally, outwardly, or partly; but also spiritually, inwardly and throughly. Let us consider the heart, and so shall we see the foul spots we are stained withal, at least inwardly, whereby ⟨p. 26⟩we the rather may be moved to hearty sorrow and sighing. For, as S. Augustine saith, it is a glass which feareth no body, but even look what a one thou art, so it painteth thee out.

In the Law, we see it is a foul spot, not to love the Lord our God, with all (I say) our heart, soul, power, might and strength, and that continually.
In the Lawe, wee see it is a foule spot, not to loue the Lord our God, with all (I say) our heart, soule, power, might and strength, and that continually.
In the Law it is a foul spot, not only to make to our selves any graven Image or similitude, to bow thereto, &c. but also, not to frame our selves wholly after the Image whereto we are made, not to bow to it, or worship it.
