THE ARGVMENT.

That God hateth the abuse of his name, and requireth of euery one to confesse and praise him both priuately and publikely.

What meaneth God in the third Commandement?

That wee doo not reprochfullie, or vnreuerently vse the name of God, not onely by cursing or forswearing, but also by swearinga rashlie, neither yet take part in these horrible sinnes, by holding our peace, or winking at them: but that weeb vse the sacred name of god, nor without great religion &c reuerence: that by true & cōstantd confession, ande calling vpon him, and finally, by al our words & deedes he be praysed and magnified.f
