Excerpt from An Exposition of the Ten Commandments

Therefore, that we might be informed what we ought to do and What to avoid, it hath pleased God, the great Governor and righteous Judge of all, to prescribe laws for the regulating of our actions and, that we might not be ignorant what they are, he hath openly promulgated them in his word. For when we had miserably defaced the law of nature originally written in our hearts, so that many of its commands were no longer legible, it seemed good to his infinite wisdom and mercy to transcribe and copy out that law in the sacred tables of the Scriptures; and to superadd many positive precepts and injunctions not before imposed. Hence the Bible is the statute-book of God's kingdom, wherein is comprised the Whole body of the heavenly law, the perfect rules of a holy life, and the sure promises of a glorious one.
