The conclusion of the Exposition of the Commandements.

Aquesti son li dies Commandament de la Ley, &c.

THese are the ten Commandements of the Law, whereof the first concerne our duty to God, the latter toward; our neighbour. And whosoeuer will be saued, must keepe these Commandements. Many excellent blessings are promised to those that keepe these Commandements, and to those that transgresse them, many grieuous and horrible maledictions. As Deut. 28. If wee truely acknowledge our sinnes, we know that we are farre from God: For saluation is farre from sinners, and the knowledge of sinne bringeth vs to re∣pentance, for no man can repent that knoweth not his sinne. The first degree to saluation is the knowledge of sinne; and therefore acknowledging our fault, we ap∣proach with confidence to the throne of the grace of God, and confesse our sinnes: for hee is faithfull and iust to pardon our sinnes, and to clense vs from all ini∣quitie, and to bring vs to the life of grace. Amen.
