Exodus 20:7 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

This is the third commandment. It were to be devoutly wished, that it were written in the heart by the Spirit of the Lord. Then should we not have so much occasion to lament the profanation of it, as we now have, by the rash use of the tremendous name of the Lord in ordinary discourse; anti in the solemn appeal that is too often made to it, m oaths and the like, without a just occasion. Reader! let me beg of you to pause over the perusal of this commandment; then look into the world; and then read what the prophet saith, Hosea 4:1-3.
