Q. 11. What's the third Instruction from the second Commandment?
A. That it is highly sinful and dangerous to innovate and prescribe by Humane Authority, such symbolical Rites in the Worship of God, as he never appointed or allowed in his Word, Matth. 15.9. But in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Q. 12. What's the fourth Instruction hence?
A. Hence we learn how much Parents and Children are obliged to worship God constantly, spiritually, and agreeably to his Will revealed in his Word, otherwise the jealousy of God will visit them both in the way of Judgment. For as Obedience ⟨p. 124⟩entails a Blessing; so Disobedience entails a Curse on Posterity, Exod. 34, 14. For thou shalt worship no other God; for the Lord, whose name is jealous, is a jealous God.
