Let us make some use of all this in a few words. 1. Then, see, and gravely consider what sin this is, what wrath it deserveth, how far, and how wide in its guilt it extendeth it self, and what severe reckoning will be for it? O then! what is your hazard, and what will be your sentence when this Judgment shall be set, & when the Judge cometh to pronounce it? tell me who of you will be able to purge your selves of this guilt? This Sentence may, and will one day make many of you to tremble, when the Lord will say, Man, thou tookest my Name in vain in such a Company, at such a Play and Sport, in such a Contest, in such an Oath, yea, in such a Prayer, &c. Here is your Sentence, I will not hold you guiltless, but guilty for this cause; This, this is the truth of God, if we believe his Word, yea, whether we believe it or not.

Let me therefore speak two words further to all of you, Old and Young, Godly and Profane, Rich and Poor, &c: O take more notice of this sin, and be more watchful against it, think more of it, and look more to every way it may be fallen into; and by all mens study to prevent it, fear to name the great and dreadful Name of our Lord the God irreverently; tremble when ye hear it named; and when ye read, hear, pray, or do any duty, as ye would eschew this Curse and Threatening, and be found guiltless in the day of the Lord, eschew this sin of taking his Name in vain.
