    Shorter catechism 5 punctuation

    Is there a specific reason that there is no comma after the word "God"? Seems a more natural punctuation, at least in modern English, would be: Is there a nuance in meaning I am missing? Or is it just how they did punctuation in the puritan era?

    "Doing the devil a great wrong...." Have you ever heard someone say that? I'm not sure in my readings of the venerable dead, that I ever heard one of them say that, however, blame wrongly given is sin (its a lie). Here is Richard Capel again on that point, "Our heart does not stand free from...
