There is never an Article of the Creed but some Heretic or other doth oppose it: And the ungodly are against them altogether, even while they profess to believe them all.

There is never an Article of the Creed but some Heretick or other doth oppose it: And the ungodly are against them altogether, even while they profess to believe them all.

There is never a one of the ten Commandments, but ungodliness is against it. There is never a Petition in the Lords Prayer, but ungodliness is against it; for all that they are content to use the words. Instead of Hallowing the name of God, they dishonour it, and instead of living to the Glory of God, they seek themselves and their own honour. The Kingdom of Christ they are ⟨p. 66⟩enemies to: In the Church without them, they love not his Government. In their hearts within, they will not endure it: and the coming of his glorious Kingdom they are afraid of. Instead of doing his will, they quarrel with it, and murmur at it, and disobey it, and do their own wills, and would have God do their wills too, and have all others do them. Instead of being content with daily bread to fit them for Gods service, they drown themselves in pleasures, or in worldly cares to make provision to satisfy their flesh. Instead of valuing and accepting the forgiveness of sin, as purchased by Christ, and offered in the Gospel, they have slight apprehensions of so great a mercy, and refuse the conditions of it as too hard, and run deeper into debt, and wilfully sin more. Instead of avoiding Temptations, and flying to Christ for ⟨p. 67⟩deliverance from evil, they tempt themselves, and run into Temptations, and seek after them, and love the evil of sin, and are loth to leave it and be delivered from it. So that they are against every Petition in the Lords Prayer, though they use the words.
