But by the way, let us remember §30that we have cause to give thanks to our God, for exempting us from the bondage that our fathers were subject to under the law: & that we must also benefit our selves by those figures, by learning to live friendly with our neighbours, abhorring all murders and outrages, not only actual murders but also hatred, which is likewise condemned for murder before God, though it be never so secret and close kept, as saith S. John.1 That is the thing which we have to note when it §40is said unto us that God uttereth his will without any shadow, and not in dark speeches as he did to the fathers, but as one that speaketh with open mouth: and therefore let us hold our selves contented therewith.
