  Speaker 1: to walk accordingly, to convince them of their disability to

  Speaker 1: keep it, and of the sinful pollution of their nature,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: hearts and lives, to humble them in the sense of
• 2:21

• 3:15
  Speaker 1: besides the general uses thereof common to them with all men,

  Speaker 1: it is of special use to show them how much
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: they are bound to Christ, for his fulfilling it and
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: enduring the curse thereof in their stead, and for their good,
• 3:29

  Speaker 1: ten Commandments? Answer? For the right understanding of the ten commandments,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: these rules are to be observed. One that the law
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: is perfect and bindeth everyone to full conformity in the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: whole man, unto the righteousness thereof, and unto entire obedience forever,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: so as to require the utmost perfection of every duty,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and to forbid the least degree of every sin. Two
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that it is spiritual, and so reacheth the understanding will
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: affections and all other powers of the soul, as well

  Speaker 1: as words, works, and gestures. Three That one and the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: same thing in divers respects is required or forbidden in

  Speaker 1: the seventh from the beginning of the world to the

  Speaker 1: how is the Sabbath or the Lord's Day to be sanctified? Answer?

  Speaker 1: only to keep it themselves, but to see that it
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: be observed by all those that are under their charge,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and because they are prone, oft times to hinder them
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: by employments of their own. Question one hundred nineteen. What

• 21:28
  Speaker 1: The reasons annexed to the Fourth Commandment, the more to

• 21:34
  Speaker 1: allowing us six days of seven for our own affairs,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: and reserving but one for himself. In these words, six days,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: shalt thou labor and do all thy work from God's
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: challenging a special propriety in that day. The seventh day

  Speaker 1: is the Sabbath of the Lord, thy God. From the
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: example of God, who in six days made heaven and earth,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: the sea, and all that in them is and rest
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: did the seventh day, and from that blessing which God
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: put upon that day, not only in sanctifying it to
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: be a day for his service, but in ordaining it
• 22:09

• 22:55
  Speaker 1: light of nature for it. And yet it restraineth our

• 23:07
  Speaker 1: and too often take off our minds from thinking of it,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: either to prepare for it or to sanctify it. And
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: that Satan, with his instruments, much labor to blot out
