And he also regardeth not the holy name of God, that doth not call upon God, and give thanks to god, as though he were not the very true God, which hath holpen him, and both can and will help him in all his needs. For he that knowledgeth himself, that he is holpen of God, he of duty must needs give him thanks therefore, and he that trusteth to be holpen, must likewise call upon him for the same.
And he also regardeth not the holy name of God, that doth not cal vpon God, and gyue thankes to god, as though he wer not the very true God, which hath holpen hym, and both can and wyll helpe him in all his nedes. For he that knowlegeth himselfe, that he is holpē of God, he of dewty must nedes gyue hym thankes therefore, and he yt trusteth to be holpē, must lykewyse cal vpon hym for the same.
Therefore briefly to conclude, he that teacheth any other than God's ⟨p. clix⟩true doctrine, that believeth not in the name of Christ, that doth not boldly confess the word of God, that doth not lead his life according to the gospel, that doth not call upon God in all necessity, that doth not willingly and gladly give thanks to God for all his benefits, he despiseth God, and his holy name, & giveth occasion to other, to do the like, which of all other, is the greatest offence to God. Therefore we ought to pray, that God keep and defend us from this sin.
