Mr. Jones thus expounds the tenth commandment ("Catechism," pp. 118-120):—
"Q. How does God require me to love my neighbor?—A. As myself.
Q. Ought I not therefore to be glad when I see him have and enjoy every good thing?—A. Yes.
Q. But suppose I am not glad, and desire the very things he has, and begrudge his having them, what do I?—A. I covet.
Q. Is it not my duty to be contented with such things as I have, without coveting what my neighbor has?—A. Yes.
Q. What did the Apostle Paul say he had learned?—A. 'I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.'
Q. Repeat, 'Godliness with contentment.'—A. 'Godliness with contentment is great gain; for we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out; and, having food and raiment, let us be therewith content.'
Q. From whom cometh down every good gift and every perfect gift?—A. From God.
