The sum of the first Commandment is, That we1 have God to be our God. So it is expressed in the Commandment it self, Thou shalt have no other gods before my face. The first affirmative whereof is, Thou shalt have me to be thy God. The contrary of this having of God to be our God, is, first, that which the Psalmist onoteth, The wicked are so proud, they seek not after God. Against which, pAsa made a Law, that if any would not seek after God, he should die.
