And this sort of addresses Davide's question as well. For Ames is arguing that yes, theology affects all area of life, but also that all areas of life are ultimately founded on theology. The larger aspect of this chapter argues that it is the end of all theology to effect our living. Indeed, that's classic Puritanism, and the point of this entire work. Eric said:

The Bible obviously does not speak on every detail of life, but it provides us with a theological framework to deal with every aspect of life. “there is no precept or universal truth relevant to living well in domestic economy, morality, political life, or lawmaking which does not rightly pertain to theology”
