One point, guilty of all
Whoever breaks one of these least commandments, or one of the least of these commandments. These commandments, we may observe, is a term used by our Lord as equivalent to the law, or the law and the prophets, which is the same thing, seeing the prophets added nothing to the law, but only declared, explained, or enforced it, as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

2. Whosoever shall break one of these least commandments, or one of the least of these commandments――These commandments, we may observe, is a term used by our Lord as equivalent with the law: or the law and the prophets, which is the same thing, seeing the prophets added nothing to the law; but only declared, explained, or inforced it, as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
