Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet faileth in 1one point, he is guilty of all. The reason is, because he that wilfully neglecteth any part of Gods Law, he doth not perform any one duty as he ought in obedience to gods commandment, and for the advancement of his glory, but for sinister respects; for if out of a good conscience, and the true fear of God, he performed any duty, then the same causes would move him to perform all, seeing God enjoineth one commandment as well as another, as the Apostle there reasoneth, Verse 11.
Secondly, he implyeth vnder this one sinne of swearing, all the sinnes commited against the first table; because all these sinnes are linked together and so inseperably ioyned one with the other, that whosoeuer is held in bondage vnder one of them, he is subiect to the rest; according to that, Iam. 2. 10. Whosoeuer shall keepe the whole law, and yet faileth in 1one point, he is guiltie of all. The reason is, because hee that wilfully neglecteth any part of Gods Law, he doth not performe any one dutie as he ought in obedience to gods commandement, and for the aduancement of his glory, but for sinister respects; for if out of a good conscience, and the true feare of God, he performed any duety, then the same causes would moue him to performe all, seeing God injoyneth one commandement as well as another, as the Apostle there reasoneth, Verse 11.
