1These three parts of virtues of the right and lawful usage of the Name of God, which have been now proposed, agree in this, that they are a commemoration of the truth concerning God. Again, they differ in this, that the doctrine or propagation of true doctrine, tendeth to the instruction of others: The celebration of God respecteth our liking and subjection: The confession of the known truth betokeneth the certainty of our opinion and judgement.

Unto the confession of the truth is repugnant, 1. The denial of the truth, and of our opinion in Religion for fear of hatred, 1or persecution, or ignominy. This denial is of two sorts: the first is, an universal and general defection from true Religion, which is to cast away the profession of the truth, either certainly or doubtfully known and received, with a certain and purposed advice, and with the whole hearts desire of resisting God, and without any grief or remorse of flying and shunning this casting away of the truth, and without any purpose of obeying God, in applying to himself the promise of grace, and in showing repentance. This denial is proper to Reprobates and Hypocrites.
