About this book

Thomas Watson on the moral law — what each commandment forbids, what it requires, and how it drives a person to Christ. Part of his Body of Practical Divinity, delivered as catechism lectures to a London congregation in the years before the Great Ejection of 1662.

‘Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the Lord thy God, and do his commandments.’ Deut 27: 9, 10. What is the duty which God requireth of man?
