He saith here: this is the law and the Prophets. And Math. xxij. he 1saith: Thou shalt love thy Lord God with all thine hart, with all thy soul 2and all thy mind, and as Mark addeth, with all thy might, & thy neighbour as thy self. In these two commandments, hangeth the whole law and the Prophets. And Paul Rom. xiij. and Gal. v. saith that love is the fulfilling of the law.

And when we break and repent, his fulfilling is imputed unto us. And this text, this is the law and the Prophets, mayst thou understand, as when Paul saith, love is the fulfilling of the law.

And it is written that Christ is the fulfilling or ende of the lawe, To make all these agree, this thou must vnderstand: that to loue God purely is the finall and vttermost ende of all the lawe and the Prophetes. To loue thy neighbour is the ende of all lawes that is betwene
