seruant nor his maide nor his Oxe nor his Asse nor any thing that is his Mai What requireth God in the first Commandement Schol That as I loue the saluation of mine owne soule so I diligently shunne and auoyd all Idolatrie coniuring inchauntment superstition praying to Saints or other creatures and doe rightly acknowledge the onely and true God trust in him alone submit m● selfe with all humilitie and patience vnto him looke for all good things from him alone and with the most inward affection of my hart loue reuerence and worship him so that I will rather forsake all creatures then commit the least thing against his will M●i What is Idolatrie Schol It is in the place of one God or besides that one and true God who hath reuealed himselfe in his word to deuise or haue anie other thing wherein to put our trust M●i What doth the second commandement require Schol That wée expresse not God by any Image or shape neither serue him after any other manner then as in his word he hath commaunded himselfe to be serued Ma Ought we then to make no Images nor pictures Schol God neither ought nor can by any meanes be drawne or pictured and although it be lawfull to resemble creatures yet God forbiddeth to haue or make their Images to worship or honour either them or God by them Ma What meaneth God in the third commandement Schol That we doe not reprochfully or vnreuerently vse the name of God in cursing swearing forswearing nor yet take part in those horrible sinnes by holding our peace a●d winking at them but that we vse the sacred name of God with great religion and reuerence that by true and constant confession and calling vpon him and finally by all our words and deedes he may be praised and euer magnified Ma Is it then so great a sinne to take the name of God in vaine either by swearing or by cursing That God is also angry with them who as much as in them lyeth do not forbid or hinder it Schol Surely a most grieuous sinne for there is no greater sinne or which doth more offend God then the reproch of his holy name wherefore also he commaunded that sinne to be punished with death Ma But may any man lawfully and in a godly sort sweare by the name of God Schol He may when either the magistrate requireth it of his subiects or necessitie requireth that by this meanes faith be assured and truth established to the end that the glory of God may be set forth and the saluation of other men furthered for this kind of oath is confirmed in the word of God and therefore hath bene rightly vsed by holy men both in the old and new Testament Maist Is it not lawfull to sweare by Saints and other creatures Schol No for a lawfull oath is a calling vpon God wherein a man desireth that he being the only beholder of the heart would giue witnes to the truth and punish the swearer if he deceiue wittingly now this honour agreeth to no creature Ma What doth God require in the fourth commandement Schol First that the ministrie of the Gospell schooles be maintained and that both vpon other daies and especially vpon holy daies I do diligently frequent the holy assemblies heare the word of God attentiuely vse the Sacraments and to the publike praiers ioyne also mine owne priuate and according to my abilitie bestow something vpon the poore Secondly that in all my life I abstaine from wicked actions yéelding vnto the Lord that by his spirit he may worke his good worke in me and so that I begin that Euerlasting Saboth or rest in this life Ma What doth the Lord enioyne vs in the fift commandement Schol That we performe vnto our parents and euen to all that are set ouer vs due honour loue and fidelitie and do submit our selues to their faithfull preceps and chastisements with that obedience which is meete Secondly that we patiently beare with their faults alwaies hauing in remembrance that Gods will is to leade and rule vs by their hand Ma What doth God require in the sixt commandement Schol That neither by thought nor by word nor by gesture much lesse by déede either by my selfe or by any other I do reuile or hate or hurt or st●y my neighbour but cast away all desire of reuenge Moreouer that I hurt not my selfe nor wittingly cast my selfe into any daunger And therefore also that murthers might be auoyded hee hath armed the magistrate with the sword Ma Why but this commandement seemeth to forbid onely murther Schol For the staying of murther God teacheth that he hateth the roote and original of murther to wit anger enuie hatred and desire of reuenge and doth account all these for murther Ma What is the meaning of the seauenth commandement Schol That God doth abhorre all filthines and therefore that we also ought to hate and detest it and on the other side that we ought to liue soberly modestly and chastly either in holy wedlocke or single life Ma Doth God forbid nothing else in this commandement but adulterie and such kind of filthines Schol Forasmuch as our body and soule are the temples of the holy Ghost the will of God is that we possesse both body and soule purely and holily And therefore he doth generally forbid filthie deedes gestures behauiours speeches thoughts and desires and whatsoeuer may allure vs hereunto Ma What doth God forbid in the eight commandement Schol Not onely those thefts and robberies which the magistrate doth punish but vnder the name of theft he comprehendeth all naughtie shifts and deuises whereby we catch after other mens goods and labour to conueigh them to our selues either by force or by colour of right as are vnequall weights an vniust meatewand false measure deceitfull words counterfaite mony vsurie or any other forbidden way or meanes to thrine get wealth adde herevnto all couetousnes and the manifold mispending the gifts of God Ma What doth the ninth commandement require Schol That I beare no false witnes against any man that I shall misconsture no mans words that I backebite or reproach no man that I condemne no man rashly before his cause be heard but that I doe with all carefulnes auoyde all kinde of Lying and deceit as the proper workes of the D●uell vnles I will prouoke the most gréeuous displeasure of Almightie God a-against my selfe and that in Iudgements and other affaires I follow the truth and freely and constantly professe the matter to bée euen as it is Moreouer that as much as in me lyeth I defend and encrease the good name and credit of others Maist What doth the tenth Commandement forbid Schol That our hearts be neuer tempted no not with the least desire or thought against any Commandement of God but that alwayes from the heart wee detest all sinne and contrarywise take pleasure in all kinde of Righteousnes Maist Are they able who are conuerted vnto
