holynes power and saluation By what maner we be restored agayne to lyfe and healthe FRom this knowledge of our selfe so playnly shewing vs howe we be nothyng at all if it can earnestly settle in our hertes there is a playne and redy way to a more true knowledge of God yea he hym selfe hathe nowe opened vs the fyrste gate into his kyngdome thus vnder mynyng the two moste noysom pestilences I meane the vnregardyng of goddes vengeaunce and y e false trust on our selues For then we begyn to lyfte vp our eyes vnto heauen whiche afore dyd cleaue faste vnto the grounde and we that afore reposed in our selues nowe thynke longe for the Lorde That same lord father of mercy although oure synne hathe deserued the contrary yet for his vnspeakeable mercy of hys owne mere goodnes sheweth hym selfe to the troubled and astonyed conscieces and calleth vs home agayn by what meanes he knoweth most expediēt for our weakenesse from straieng to the right way from deathe to lyfe from perdition to sauegarde yea and from the kyngdome of the deuyll to hys owne kyngedome Wherfore euen to so many as the lorde vouchsaueth to restore to y ● enheritaūce of his heauēly lyfe he vseth such maner trade that they beyng sore wounded in conscience by theyr synnes and weryed with the burthen therof myght be styrred to fear him Fyrste of al therfore he gyueth vs his lawe to exercise vs vnto that knowledge Of the lawe of the Lorde IN the lawe of god is delyuered vs the most perfecte rule of all ryghtwysnes whiche we maye well call the euerlastynge wyll of the Lorde For there in two tables hath he playnly and fully declared what so euer he requireth of vs. In the fyrste what worshyp his maiestie alloweth and in the other what offices of loue be due to our neyghbour in fewe cōmaundementes he hathe expressed Let vs therfore heare the lawe which done we shall se what learnynge we muste take of it and what truit we ought to gather therof Exod. xx I am the Lorde thy god whiche haue brought the out of the lāde of Aegypt from the house of bōdage Thou shalte haue no straunge Goddes afore my face ONe pece of this cōmaundemēt is in stede of a preface to the hole lawe for whyles he affyrmeth that he hym selfe is the Lorde our God he meaneth that he is suche one as hathe authoritie to cōmaunde and to whose commaundementes we ought to obey As he sayeth by his prophet If I be the father where is loue If I be the lorde wher is feare he also reherseth hys benefytes to reproue our vnkyndenes if we obey not hys voyce For with the same goodnes wherby he preserued y ● people of the Iues ones out of the bondage of Egypt dothe he also delyuer all hys seruaūtes frō theyr perpetual Egypt that is And where as he forbyddeth to haue any other goddes he restrayneth vs that we shuld not gyue that is gods dutie to any other then to him alonely He sayth therfore Afore my face wherby he declareth y t he wyll not only be knowen as a god by outwarde confession but also y ● he wyll be truely takē for the only god īwardely in hert These thinges belong properly to god alone which without sacrilege can be gyuen to none other so that him onely we ought to honour in him to repose our trust and hope him to thāk for what soeuer good and holy thing we haue vnto him to rendre all prayse of goodnes holynesse Thou shalte not make thy self any grauen ymage nor any lykenesse of any thinge that is in heauē aboue or ī erth beneth nor in the water vnder the earthe Thou shalte not bowe downe to thē to worshype them LYke as in y e first commaūdement god declared him selfe to be but one so nowe he sheweth what a God he is and howe he wyll be honoured He forbyddeth therfore to make him any lykenes And the cause hereof he sheweth in Deut. and in Esay for that no bodyly substaunce can be resembled to a spirite He further forbyddeth vs to honour any ymage as a thinge of holynes Let vs lerne then y ● the worshypping of God is a spiritual thinge for lyke as god him selfe is a spirite so he woll be worshypped in spirite trouth He addeth therfore an horryble thretnyng wherby he wold we knewe how greuously he is displeased w t the breache of this cōmaundement I am thy Lorde God This is afmoch as yf he should faye that he onely is the Lorde God on whom we ought to hange and that he cā suffer none to be hys felowe or matched with hym y ● he wil also defēde his maiestie glory yf any go about to transpose it to grauen ymanges or other thinges with such vengeaūce as shal be neyther short nor sengle but y ● shall reache to our childrē our childrēs childrē and vnto their childrē also euē as many as folowe theyr fathers wyckednes lyk as again he setteth forthe euerlastynge mercy grace to the godly and their ofsprynge also euen to as many as loue him and kepe hys lawe In thys thynge he sheweth vs the largenes of his mercy stretched forthe into a thousande generations where as he assigneth hys vengeaūce to reache onely but to foure generations Thou shalte not take the name of thy Lorde God in vayne HEre he forbyddeth vs to abuse hys holy name in swerynge eyther for folysh tryfles or to establyshe our owne lyes Othes ought not to serue neyther to selfe wyll nor pleasure but to very necessity wher eyther the glory of God must be vpholden or a thinge affermed that belongeth to the furtheraunce of our neyghbours Utterly he forbyddeth vs to de file his holy name in any thing but to vse it reuerently wyth hygh dignitie accordinge to his holynes whether we swere or what other worde so euer we speake of him And for asmoche as the principall vse of the takynge of gods holy name chiefly consisteth in callinge vpon him here we may vnderstand that we haue a cōmaundement to call vpon him In conclusion he appointeth the penaltie least those shulde trust to escape his reuengeaūce that haue abused the holynes of hys name by perturyes and blasphemous othes and therfore addeth that the Lorde woll not haue him vnreuenged that taketh the name of hys Lord God in vayne Remember thou kepe holy the sabboth daye WE haue marked three causes of this commaundement for it pleased God vnder the quyete of the seuenth daye to gyue the people of Israell a fygure of a ghostly rest wherein the fayth full ought to cease from their owne wyll workes and suffer God to worke in thē Seconde he wolde also that one certayne daye were assigned wherin the people shulde assemble togither to heare the lawe and to do their honest ceremonies Thirdly God wolde that seruaūtes and suche as be at other mens commandement shulde haue one day to
