19. That love to the Lord and love towards the neighbour include in themselves all Divine truths can be confirmed by what the Lord Himself declared of these two loves, saying-
Thou shalt love... thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul. This is the greatest and first commandment. And the second, like unto it is, thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang the law and the prophets. Matt. xxii. 37-40.
The "law" and the "prophets" are the whole Word, thus all Divine Truth.
