[Schoonenberg’s terminology may be further clarified with a two notes.
First, ‘Obligations3H(2’ is a general term for both responsibilities and words.
‘Responsibilities3H(2’ goes with ‘freedom2(1H))’.
‘Words3H(2’ goes with ‘bondage2(1H))’.
Second, the contrast between ‘responsibilities’ and ‘words’ matches the contrast between ‘freedom’ and ‘bondage’.
The words ‘freedom’ and ‘bondage’ have no corresponding general term.
So, I coin the general term exercises of the heart.]
