From the Connection of the two Tables, we may observe these three general •, first, That there is no part of a mans convers •tion in reference to his walk with others as well as God, whatever be his Calling or Station, but he ought to be Religious and holy in it; God hath directed men how to carry in all things. 2. That it is a necessary part of Religion in respect of the command of God enjoining it, and in order to our thriving in holiness, to be conscientious in duties to others, as well as in immediate duties to God, who in his Law requireth both. 3. That where kindly and true Obedience is given to the first Table, Obedience will be given to the second also, where Conscience putteth to pray and keep the Sabbath, it will also put to do duty to our Neighbour; he purposely putteth these together in the Gospel, when the Pharisees would separ •te them, and what God h •th conjoined let no man put asunder.
