The law unsealed

Again, this Command is practically broken four ways: First, by gross profanity and neglect of the practise of known duties of worship; this way, are guilty all profane Contemners of Sacraments, Word, Discipline, &c. All Neglecters of them when they may have them: and all these that set not themselves to go rightly about them, in secret, in Families or in Public; and where many opportunities of Gospel Ordinances are, this sin is the more frequent; and so all Atheists that contemn Religion, and these that would only serve God with a good heart and intention, as they pretend, without any outward worship, are condemned here; and also those, who for fear or advantage give not testimony to the Truth and Ordinances of Christ, when such a testimony is called for.

2. Men sin against this Command, when they practise will-worship and superstition in serving God by duties he never required, whether 1. It be Will-worship in respect of the Service it self, as when that is gone about as duty, which is not in it self lawful, as when such and such Pilgrimages and Penances are appointed by men to be done as Service to God: Or 2. When worship, or Service under the Gospel is astricted to such a place, as if it were Holier to pray in one place then in another, and that therefore God did hear Prayer there more willingly and easily then in another place▪ Or 3. In respect of bodily posture, as if there were more Religion in one posture then in another; as in receiving the Lords-Supper kneeling, or Praying in such and such a posture, except in so far as it is decent, and otherwise rightly regulate by rules of Prudence and Natures light. 4. When it is without a Divine Warrant tied to such a time only, as Christmas, (commonly called Yule) Easter, Pasco, &c. which is an Observing of times that God hath not appointed.
