Wee must not take the name of God in our mouthes Psal 50.16 if we hate to be reformed and haue cast his words behind vs. Vse 1.

Come hither you wilfull scorners prophane deriders and horrible abusers of Gods holines you that haue vsed the name of God his word and titles with no fit respect speaking of them contemptibly and without due regard as of vile and common things see here condemned your prophanenes and abhominable impiety who haue spoiled the Lord of his honour whereas his name and Scriptures by you 1. Haue beene iested at 2. Haue been wrested 3. Haue beene abused to inchantment And let this make you trēble at his word 3. Come hither you that draw neere vnto the Lord and honour him with your lips and in yoor harts and waies depart farre from him you that make profession of religion yet liue in all prophanenes 2.

The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it 2. He will be a swift witnesse against all such impiety 3. He will not spare in the day of vengeance Vse 1. Albeit therefore the breakers of this precept may in this case despise the lawes and wrath of men who haue but sillily prouided against this transgression and doe very slowly punish it and are oft times very little or nothing offended when Gods name is abused and his holines prophaned or if they take it to heart it is not so much to them as if their owne credit were called in question yet when the Lion hath roared who will not feare Amos 3.8 when the Lord hath spoken and threatned sure vengeance who will not be terrifi●d from this sinne which hath in it neither 1. Pleasure nor 2. Profit nor 3. Shew of any good Which might induce men to incurre this wrath 2 Albeit in other sinnes wicked vngodly men grow bold on Gods sufferance and their heart is fully set in them to do euill because sentence against an euill worke is not executed speedilie Eccle. 8.11 yet let all men take heed of prouoking in this kinde for their iudgement sleepeth not that offend on this fashion and vengeance is against them on the way the zeale of the Lord wil hasten it and bring this thing to passe 1. That the mouth of all wickednes may be stopt 2. That others may feare because of the iudgement 3. That honour may be giuen vnto God Which should deter vs from this hainous sinne 3. Albeit as the law takes no notice of the least things so God takes not present vengeance of euery small sinne because he will not alwaies be chiding yet will he make his plagues wonderfull against this sinne for his curse shall come into the house of the offender to consume it Zach. 5. his curse shall ouertake the swearers and blasphemers in their soules and in their bodies when he beginnes with them in vengeance he will not spare when he begins he will also make an end and he will do a thing vnto them at which both the eares of them that heare it shall tingle 1. Sam. 3.11.12 as it appeares vnto vs 1. In many examples in the word 2. In many examples in other writings 3. In many examples in the world Which should assure vs that hee will not spare The fourth Commandement Remember the Sabboath day to keep it holy Six daies shalt thou labor and doe all that thou hast to doe But the seuenth day is the Sabbaoth of the Lord thy God in it thou shalt doe no manner of worke thou nor thy sonne nor thy daughter thy man seruant nor thy maidseruant nor thy cattell nor thy stranger that is within thy gates For in six daies the Lord made heauen earth the Sea and all that in them is rested the seuenth day wherefore the Lord blessed the Seuenth day and halowed it 1. The affirming part of this commandement We must keepe this an holy rest vnto the Lord. The things commanded in this precept are 1. That on the Lords day we doe al holy and religious workes 2. That we cease from our worldy labours 3. That wee rest from sin and wickednesse For 1. They suite well with the season in holy day holy workes 2. In it wee must doe no manner of worke 3. So the Lord by his spirit shall worke in vs his good worke Vse 1. Hereby therefore am I taught and shewed that as I should at all times as much as my vocation and necessitie will permit be carefull to visit Gods temple to heare and reade his word and meditate thereon to call vpon the Lord by praier to doe the worke of piety and charity and as much as in me lieth to stirre vp others also thereunto so should I especially on this day do the workes of the day that is 1. Make praiers and sing praises vnto God 2. Gather instruction to mine owne soule meditating on Gods holy word and workes 3. Exercises the works of mercy to my brethren As he hath cōmanded that is the Lord of the day 2. Here I perceiue that as to liue idely on the other daies is damnable so to be troubled with Martha about the many things of this life and of this world on this day is abominable wherein is commanded a remission of all seruile labours and the workes of our callings that wee may serue God more freely in our places whom we are this day especially to honour with our 1. Bodies 2. Soules and 3. Substance Prou. 3.9 As he hath required that appointed this rest 3. Hereby I am instructed that I must not rest this the Lords day as the people of Israel did fast in their day Es 58.4 for strife and debate and to smite with the fift of wickednesse
