18. I tell you, the Law is so true as being God's own word, that one letter or tittle of it shall not be frustrate or fail of its performance to the end of the world, but shall be all fulfilled.
19. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called Great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
19. If any shall presume to break the least of these commands because it is a little one, and teach men so to do, he shall be vilified as he vilified God's Law, and not thought fit for a place in the Kingdom of the Messiah: But he shall be there Greatest that is most exact in Doing and Teaching all the Law of God.
Note, Are not those Preachers and Prelates then the Least and basest, that preach and tread down Christian love of all that dissent from any of their presumptions, and so preach down not the Least, but the Great command.
