Or for the sins here forbidden:
Say first, hast thou not sometime spent the Lords day in idleness, 1or in worldly business, in vanities, or in sin? Secondly, hast thou not omitted public duties, or comest in too late, or wentest out too soon? 2Thirdly, hast thou not on those days sold wares, carried burdens, brought in sheaves, or wrought in the harvest? Fourthly, hast thou not employed thy cattle, or servants, or children, or any other, though thou workest not thy self? Fifthly, hast thou not profaned the Lords day, by needless works, words, or thoughts, about thy calling, or about thy recreation? Sixthly, have not the strict observance of the duties of that day been tedious unto thee, saying in thine heart, When will the day be gone? 3If in any of these thou hast transgressed, then hast thou broken this Commandment, Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day.
