CONFORMITY.

The foundation of this Article is taken from the third Commandment of the first Table of the Law, Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his Name in vain, After so strict a prohibition, and so terrible a Comminati∣on our Discipline had Reason to establish punishments against the Infringers of this Commandment, to a∣void all blame and reproach, * 1.1 because as Gregory the first says, Him that corrects not what should be taken away, doth commit it; Our King St. Lewis, made an Ordinance in the year 1270, to bannish out of his Kingdom, Blas∣phemies, and Oaths, whereby the Majesty of God is criminaly prophan'd.
