First. People of Low Degree, You may learn this Lesson in the Fear of God; The Name of God must always be treated Awfully, and Holily, and Seriously; and have an awful Respect Paid unto it. You must not use the Name of the Glorious GOD, Vainly, Lightly, Irreverently. You must not Swear Profanely by the Name of the High and Lastly One. You must not Test on or with the Word of ⟨p. 12⟩the Great GOD. When you are Engaged in the Worship of God, you must behave your selves, as in the Presence of the Great King, whose Name is Dreadful. No Sleeping, and no Sporting, is to be indulged in the Assembly's, wherein God is Greatly to be feared, and had in Reverence. These are very Evident Things. Tis a plain Lesson; O Lord, They are thine Enemy's, who take thy Name in Vain. Children, You can reach to that Lesson; Deut. XXVIII. 58, 59. If thou wilt not fear this Glorious & Fearful Name, THE LORD THY GOD, the Lord will make thy Plagues Wonderful.
