The Puritans were famous for the way they ordered their sermons, beginning with exposition of the text and establishment of the doctrine before coming to the application, which they called the use. They had several categories of use, as listed here.
- Use of instruction or information
- Use of doctrine
- Use of confutation
- Use of exhortation
- Use of admonition
- Use of reproof or reprehension
- Use of comfort or consolation
- Use of trial or examination (self-examination)
- Use of lamentation or mourning
- Use of dehortation (dissuasion)
