Secondly, look what the Lord doth for our children, and our posterity, that the Lord doth for us, in Scripture-language. In experience, ⟨p. 74⟩what God doth do for our children, and for our posterity, that God doth for us Now look whatsoever that is that you tha• a•e Parents shall leave for the Name of Jesus Christ, Christ will give it in an hundred-•o•d; it may be to your posterity. What shall we say to the second Commandment? The second Commandment you know is this: Thou shalt not make to thy self any graven image: •ha• i•, •hou shalt not worship God by any means but that which God himself hath appointed. Here all the inventions of men are forbidden; here all the institutions of God are commanded Well, what doth G•d promise upon the keeping of this? I will show mercy to a thousand generations. Stay a little: before, he saith he will punish them that break this Commandment, to the third and fourth generation: I will punish them that hate me, to the third and fourth generation. Them that hate me: pray why, why are those that break the second Commandment said to hate God? it is not said upon the breaking of any other Commandment, that it is a h•ting of God, but upon the breach of the second Commandment.
