    Question 4

    THE FIRST PART, OF THE MISERIE OF MAN

    1. What doth the Law of God require of vs?

      That doth Christ summarily teach vs, Mat. 22. Thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thy hart, with all thy soule, with al thy minde, & with all thy strength. This is the first and the great commaundement, and the second is like to this, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe. On these two commaundements hangeth the whole Law, and the Prophets.
