Blasphemy.] Against Scriptural doctrine, this way of truth. Paul confesseth that in •is persecution of the Church he enforced men to this blasphemy. Act. 26.11. I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme. Jam. 2.7. Do not •hey blaspheme that worthy Name, by which ye are called? He meaneth, they reproach ⟨p. 442⟩the doctrine of Christianity. Revel. 2.9. I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews and are not. This is done two ways according to the difference and quality of the persons blaspheming: and they are either enemies or friends. If they be enemies, they disgrace it by their language: if friends, by their lives and conversations.
