In the tenth he reckoneth up the pith of all laws, and the keeping of the 1law in hart: which is to fear GOD, love him and serve him with all their hart soul and might, and keep his commandments of love. And he showeth a reason why they should that do: even because God is Lord of heaven and earth, & hath also done all for them of his own goodness without their deserving. And then out of the love unto God, he bringeth the love unto a 2mans neighbour saying: God is Lord above all Lords and loveth all his servants indifferently, as well the poor and feeble, and the stranger, as the rich and mighty, and therefore will that we love the poor and the stranger. And he addeth a cause, for ye were strangers, and God delivered you and hath brought you unto a land, where ye be at home. Love the stranger therefore for his sake.
In the tenth he reckeneth vppe the pith of all lawes, and the keping of the 1law in hart: which is to feare GOD, loue him and serue hym with all their hart soule and might, and kepe his cō maundementes of loue. And he sheweth a reason why they should that do: euen because God is Lord of heauen and earth, & hath also done all for them of his owne goodnesse without their deseruyng. And then out of the loue vnto God, he bringeth the loue vnto a 2mans neighbour saying: God is Lord aboue all Lordes and loueth al his seruauntes indifferētly, as well the poore and feble, and the straūger, as the rich and mighty, and therfore will that we loue the poore and the straunger. And he addeth a cause, for ye were straungers, and God deliuered you and hath brought you vnto a land, where ye bee at home. Loue the straunger therefore for his sake.
