10 In this Petition therefore, we entreat, that the glory of God, may according to the majesty thereof, be acknowledged and celebrated amongest men here upon earth. Briefly, that the honour and worship due unto God, may be yielded unto him in this world: on the other-side we wish, that all those things may be removed, overthrown, and clean taken away, which do profane, diminish, or obscure the said glory of God, either in himself, in his works, or in his word & doctrine: So that this Petition is answerable unto the commandment: [Thou shalt not take the name of God in vain.] For here is commanded that which is there forbidden.
