What doth God require in the first Commandment?

That as dearly as I tender the Salvation of my own Soul, so earnestly should I shun and slya all Idolatry, Sorcery,b Inchantments, Superstition, praying to Saints, or anyc other Creatures, and shouldd rightly acknowledg the only and true God,e trust in himf alone, submit and subject my self unto him with allg Humility, andh Patience, look for all good things from him alone, and lastly with the intire Affection of my Hearti love,j reverence, andk worship him, so that I am ready to renounce and forsake all Creatures ratherl than to commit the least thing that may be against his Will.
