HONOUR.
NOt Honouring God by a reverend usage of the things that Relate to him.
Behaving our selves irreverently in his House.
Robbing God, by taking things that are consecrated to him.
Profaning Holy times, the Lords Day, and the Feasts and Fasts of the Church.
Neglecting to read the Holy Scriptures, not marking when we do read.
Being careless to get knowledge of our duty, chusing ra∣ther to continue ignorant, then put our selves to the pains or charge of learning.
Placing Religion in hearing of Sermons, without Practice
Breaking our Vow made at Baptisme.
By resorting to Witches, and Conjurers; i. e. to the Devil.
By loving the Pomps and Vanities of the World, and following its sinful customes.
By fulfilling the Lusts of the flesh.
Profaning the Lords Supper.
By coming to it ignorantly, without Examination, contrition, and purposes of New Life.
By behaving our selves irreverently at it, without De∣votion, and spiritual Affection.
By neglecting to keep the Promises made at it
Profaning Gods Name, by blasphemous thoughts, or Discourse.
Giving others occasion to Blaspheme him, by our vile wicked li••es.
Taking unlawful OATHS.
Perjury.
Swearing in ordinary Communication.
