About This Book

A sermon-like tract urging reverence for the name of Jesus and outlining scriptural evidence that ascribes divine titles and attributes to him. It defends his essential divinity and mediatorial role while criticizing casual swearing, the misuse of sacred names, pompous honorifics, and disorderly or inconsiderate behavior in worship. The author recommends a balanced devotion that combines holy boldness with sober awe, careful public conduct, and reverent prayer. The text concludes with doctrinal proofs of the Godhead and a devotional hymn.
