Question
What doth God exact in the sixth Commandment?
Answer
That neither in thought nor in gesture, much less in deed, I reproach, or hate, or harm, or1 kill my Neighbour, either by my self, or by another, but cast away2 all desire of revenge; furthermore, that I hurt not my self, nor cast my self3 wittingly into any Danger. Wherefore also that Murther might not be committed, he4 hath armed the Magistrate with the Sword.
