The end of this precept is / that we always use reverently / the name of god. that is to say the majesty and essence divine / that consisteth in one divine nature / and essence / and in there persons. the father / son / and the holy ghost.
The end of this precept is / that we allwayes vse reuerētlye / the name of god. that is to sai the maiestie and essence diuine / that consistithe in one diuine nature / and essence / and in there persones. the father / sonne / and the holye goost.
This most honourable / fearful / and blessed name / no man should unreverently profane / or temerously without god advisement / once think upon / or speak of. but diligently take heed of these three things. first / that what so ever we think / or speak / be agreeable / and consonant / unto the excellē tie / and holiness of his name / and extend to the setting forth of his glory. Second / that we abuse not his holy word / nor pervert the meaning / and misterijs there of / to serve our avarice / ambition / or folly. but as he hath opened him self / and his will in his word / so to know him / so to fear him / so to love him / so to serve / so to instruct our selves in faith / and so to teach other. Thirdly / that we reverently speak / and judge / of all his works / with out detraction / or contumely / acknowledging ⟨p. LXXIX⟩his inscrutable prudence / and justice in all things / with laud / and press / as well in adversity / as in prosperity / Psalm. 34.
