IF God will not hold him guiltlesse that taketh his name in vaine, what shall be∣come of me, who haue all my life time most grieuously taken his name in vaine, euery kind of way. For first, I professed my selfe a Christian; that is, a child of God, thorough Iesus Christ, but indeed I haue been hereto∣fore the child of the deuill: because I haue done his will, and not Gods will. Secondly, I tooke vpon me to be a minister of Christ; that is, a messenger sent of God to ioyne with the holy Ghost in trayning people to be children of God; but indeede I ioyned in worke with the deuill to make people his children. The verie name, and word of God I vsed vainely, rashly, vnreuerently, and vndiscreetly, to glorifie and please my selfe, not to glorifie and please him.
All Christians, take heede to your selues;
