of An Orthodox Catechism
Question
What doth God decree in the third Commandment?
Answer
That not only by cursing1 or forswearing, but also by2 rash swearing we should not use his Name despitefully, or unreverently, neither should by silence nor connivance be Partakers of these horrible Sins in others, but that3 we use the sacred and holy Name of God ever with great Devotion4 and Reverence, that he may be worshipped and honoured by us with a true and5 stedfast Confession6 and Invocation of his Name; and lastly, in all our Words and Actions whatsoever.
