>Hereafter follows how man shall keep the cammand[ment]s of God:

To keep the first command[ment] which is:

Thou shalt have no other strange gods.


Thou shalt love God with a right faith of all thy heart and honour him [at] all time[s] and have one strong faith and hope in him in adversity as well as in prosperity. And commend thyself utterly to his power and holy will and let him rule thee and do with thee after his pleasure, whatever that be, with thy will or against thy will, and thank and love him therefore and dread him for life as the good child does the father. To this command[ment] pertains all things which are contained in the holy writ of faith, hope and charity (or love to God) which are here contained with few words in this command[ment.]

George

"if you love me, keep my commandments."
Jesus Christ
