Exodus20:2
2. I am the LORD thy God , which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt , out of the house of bondage:
The onely true God, and thy God by special title, having entred into covenant with thee, and chosen the for my peculiar people to protect, and rule, and bless thee above all others. Gods authority and right over them is fitly put in the front as the foundation of all Gods commands and their duties.
And so by right of redemption thou art mine.
