Furthermore / to perceive this thing more clearly / thou shalt understand / that it is impossible to sin any sin at all except a man break the first commandment before. Now is the first commandment divided into ⟨image 227⟩two verses. Thy Lord God is one God: and thou shalt love thy Lord God with all thine heart / with all thy soul / with all thy power and with all thy might. And the whole cause why I sin against any inferior precept / is that this love is not in mine heart: for were this law written in my heart & were full & perfect in my soul / it would keep mine heart from consenting unto any sin. And the whole & only cause why this love is not written in our hearts / is that we believe not the first part / that our Lord God is one God. For wist I what these words / one Lord & one God meaneth: that is to say / if I understood that he made all / & ruleth all / & that whatsoever is done to me / whether it be good or bad / is yet his will / & that he only is the Lord that ruleth & doth it: & wist I thereto what this word mine meaneth▪ that is to say / if mine heart believed & felt the infinite benefits & kindness of God to me ward / & understood & earnestly believed the many fold covenants of mercy wherewith God hath bound him self to be mine wholly & altogether / with all his power / love / mercy & might / then should I love him with all mine heart / soul / power & might / & of that love ever keep his commandments. So say now that as faith is the mother of all goodness & of all good works / so is unbelief the ground & rote of all evil and all evil works.

Furthermore / to perceaue this thinge more clearlye / thou shalt vnderstonde / that it is impossible to synne anye synne at all except a man breake the fyrst commaundement before. Now is the fyrst commaundement deuyed into ⟨image 227⟩two verses. Thy Lorde God is one God: and thou shalt loue thy Lorde God with all thyne heart / with all thy soule / with all thy power and with all thy myght. And the whole cause why I synne agaynst anye inferioure precept / is that this loue is not in myne heart: for were this lawe wrytten in my harte & were full & perfect in my soule / it wolde kepe myne hearet frō consentynge vnto anye synne. And the whoale & onlye cause why this loue is not written in oure heartes / is that we beleue not the fyrste parte / that oure Lorde God is one God. For wyst I what these wordes / one Lorde & one God meaneth: that is to saye / if I vnderstode that he made all / & ruleth all / & that whatsoeuer is done to me / whether it be good or bad / is yet his will / & that he onlye is the Lorde that ruleth & dothe it: & wist I therto what this worde myne meaneth that is to saye / if myne heart beleued & felte the infinite benefites & kyndenes of God to me warde / & vnderstode & ernestlye beleued the many folde couenauntes of mercie wherwith God hath bounde him selfe to be myne wholie & altogether / with all his power / loue / mercie & myght / then shuld I loue him with all myne heart / soule / power & might / & of that loue euer kepe his cōmaundementes. So seye now that as fayth is the mother of all goodnes & of all good workes / so is vnbelefe the grounde & rote of all euell and all euell workes.
