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.

For helps to this, let me commend unto you,
1. A serious endeavour to walk under the impression of God's Greatness, and to have your heart filled with his awe; if his fear be in the heart, there will be ••pressions of reverence to his Name in the mouth.
