Qu. 11. How is this Name of God profaned?
Qu. 11. How is this Name of God prophaned?
A. When this wonderful work of Mans Redemption is not believed, but taken by Infidels to be but a deceit: Or when it is heard but as a common History; and affecteth not the Hearer with admiration, thankfulness, desire and submission to Christ: when Men live as if they had no great Obligation to Christ, or no great need of him.
Q. 12. How is Gods Name as our Sanctifier to be hallowed?
A. Therein he cometh near us, even into us, with Illuminating, Quickening, Comforting Grace, renewing us to his Nature, Will and Image: Marking us for his own, and maintaining the cause of Christ against his Enemies. And therefore must in this be specially notified, honoured, obediently observed, and thankfully and joyfully admired.
