What doth God exact in the sixth Commandment?

That neither in thought nor in gesture, much less in deed, I reproach, or hate, or harm, or kill my Neighbour, either by my self, or by another, but cast away all desire of revenge; furthermore, that I hurt not my self, nor cast my self wittingly into any Danger. Wherefore also that Murther might not be committed, he hath armed the Magistrate with the Sword.
