This is the law and the prophets. Whatever is written in that law which God of old revealed to mankind, and whatever precepts God has given by his holy prophets, which have been since the world began (Luke 1:70), they are all summed up in these few words, they are all contained in this short direction. And this rightly understood comprises the whole of that religion which our Lord came to establish upon earth.
