Min. But you must Remember, That th• Commandment is Exceeding Broad; it reaches t• the Heart as well as the Life: it includes Omissions as well as Commissions, and it at once bot• Requires and Forbids. But I pray, make an expo riment upon any one Commandment, in which ⟨p. 88⟩you count your self most Innocent: and see whether you do not presently confess your self Guilty thereabout. I may not leave this point slightly passed over with you.

But more than so; that Commandment not only forbids our using the Inventions of men in the worship of God, but it also requires our using all the Institutions of God. Now have not you many & many a time turned your back upon some of those glorious Institutions?
