Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
And 1. That the Commandment requireth all these, and in the highest and most perfect degree.
2. That it not only requireth them in our selves, but obligeth us to further them in all others, according to our Places and Callings.
3. That it requireth the diligent use of all means that may help and further us in these; as Reading, Meditation, Study, &c.
4. That these things which in some respect may be given to Creatures, as love, fear, &c. yet when they are required as duties to God, they are required in a far ⟨p. 19⟩more eminent way; so that Creatures must yield and give place when God cometh in competition with them in these; and these things which are proper to God, as resting on him, adoring of him, are to be given to no other.
