11. The Decalogue is divided by Moses and Christ into two Tables: the former whereof compriseth our duties towards God immediately; the latter our duties towards God mediately: Or, the former teacheth us how we are to demean and behave our selves towards God; the latter, what duties we owe to our neighbour. This division is grounded on the express Word of God:2 Hew thee two Tables of stone. It is also grounded on this, that Christ and Paul refer the whole Law to the love of God and our neighbour, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with all thy soul, 3and with all thy mind: this is the first and great commandment; and the second is like to this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self. This division hath these uses:4 1. That we may better conceive the sense and scope of the whole Law, and understand what is the perfection of obedience. 2. That we observe the common rule, namely, that the commandments of the second Table yield to the commandments of the first in the same kind of worship: That is, that the love and glory of God, is to be preferred before the love and safety of all creatures:5 according to that saying; We ought rather to obey God than men.
