Therefore, in the third place, we are to consider, that this Commandment, in the extent thereof, doth condemn 1 All gross Idolaters of any sort, who usually are mentioned under the name of Heathens. 2. Jews, who worship not the true God in his Son Jesus Christ. 3. All Heretics, that deny the Godhead of any of the Persons; as Sabellians, who make but one Person; Arians, who make Christ a Made-God; Ph tiny •ns, who make him a pure Man; and all that make a plurality of Gods, or that lessen the Divine Attributes, and give to Saints God's due, in Adoration or invocation; or, in a word, who •ver contradict any Truth, or maintain any Error; for th •reby they fasten it upon God and his Word, and wrong him who owneth no such thing: And to these may be added all ignorant persons who know not God. 4. All profane men, whether Atheists in heart or in practice, disobedient persons indeed denying God, and not giving him his due, which is obedience, whatever in words they profess concerning him. 5.

It is a making use of an unwarrantable mean, which has no blessing Promised to it; therefore cannot be used as a mean with subordination to God, even though the matter enquired after by such means, or by the Devil, be such as he may know. 7. All charming by-words, herbs, or such means as God hath not appointed for that end, or which have no Natural and Physical Efficacy for bringing it forth; as in seeking health from Witches, when there must be words so often repeated, or they must be said fasting, or going backward, &c. all laying weight on these, or the like circumstances, without any reason. 8. All Spells, fearing of events, and using superstitious means to prevent these, as laying bits of Timber at doors, carrying a Bible merely for a Charm, without using it, esteeming days and times unlucky and unfortunate; these draw men off from God to some other thing: Of this sort is all Divining by Lots, Stars, Rods;
