Quest. Now concerning the second Proposition, I shall ask you several Questions; as first, How can you prove from the Scriptures, that we must not only know him who is the only true God, but also love him as such?
Answ. We are not only to know him who is the only true God, but also to love him as such: For it is written, Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine Heart, and with all thy Soul, and with all thy Might; Deut. 6.4, 5. Mat. 12.29, 30.
