Q. What are those towards God?
A. Such as concern his worship; and therefore to be preferred before the other towards our neighbour.

Q. How may that be showed?
Q. How may that be shewed?
A. By the inequality of the persons offended, God, and man; then also by the punishments assigned in the Scripture: for the breaches of the first Table, are to be more severely punished, then the breaches of the second. As he that revileth the Magistrate shall bear his sin; but he that blasphemeth God, shall be stoned 1to death. Which serveth to discover the crafty practices of the Papists, who would make men believe, that the chiefest and most meritorious good Works, of all, required in the Law of God, are the works of the second Table; as Charity, alms-deeds, thereby deceiving the people to enrich themselves.
