Homil. II. p. 3. Let us take heed and be wise, O ye beloved of the Lord, and let us have no strange Gods, but one only God, who made us when we were nothing, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who redeemed us when we were lost, and with his Holy Spirit doth sanctify us. Homil. V. p. 3. Have an assured Faith in God, and give your selves wholly unto him, love him in prosperity and adversity, and dread to offend him ever-more. To. II. Hom. xvij. What availeth it the wise men of the world to have knowledge of the Power and Divinity of God—where they did not honour and glorify him in their knowledges as God? Hom. VI. whom we are to love with all our heart, i. e. that our heart, mind, and study be set to believe his Word, to trust in him, and to love him above all other things that we love best in Heaven or on Earth.

Expl. 46. In the first Commandment there are ⟨p. 83⟩these 4 things required, (1.) Knowledge of God, as namely, that he is the Creator and Governor of the world, being the supreme Lord and Law giver; as also, that he is infinitely perfect in his Nature, Attributes, Word, and Works. (2.) Faith, which doth consist in our owning and acknowledging him to be such a God as he is held forth in his Word, and in a reliance upon him as such. (3.) Obedience, (which in reference to this command, doth principally consist in the conformity of Man's will to the Will of God. (4.) Love to God implied in these words [before me].
