superstitious burial of the dead churching women and confirmation some of all which and other sorts of superstitions all the Daughters of Rome observe in homage to their mother of Abominations and in love of her whoredomes of the earth Thirdly in prohibiting Church-Covenants admission and excommunication of members election and dejection of Officers by the Church-power and in forbidding Baptisme without the cross c. and it and prayers without the Surplice and the Father to challenge his priviledges of Baptisme to his Infants and all to receive the Lords Supper every Lords day and at the Evening and at all without kneeling and the Surplice of any one and women to taste of the cup of blessing and in denying ordination to Rulers Distributers and Widows and prophecying to the gifted to teach exhort and comfort and to ask his doubts in the Congregation Fourthly in disordering all the Works of Divine Worship by Minister and people in mingling of their reading the Psalms and Prayers one verse by the one and another verse by the other and of singing with their reading and prayers and with the Lords Supper even in the very time of administration thereof and of prayer on their knees in the very act of receiving the same Fifthly in deifying the Ministerial Works far above their nature as in imputing to the Water in Baptisme to be the real blood of Christ and in ascribing to Baptisme washing away the guilt of sin ex opere operato and purging original sin and actual regenerating and to the Lords Supper real transubstantiation both of the bread into the body and wine into the blood of Christ and strange operations on the Sick in healing all Diseases and dispossessing them of divels by the very act of priestly administration yea they have ascribed the same unto the Cross it self in supposition that it is a Divine Institution or rather because it is a Bird of his own hatching and many the like wonders doth this Worlds-wonder work especially in Ordination which of every way the least Ministerial or Church-work he hath made by his omnipotency the Creatour of the Church Ministry and all things Ecclesiastical and Ministerial and himself the Creator Orderer and actor therof and of them all thereby Proofs of and Motives to incite to the knowledge and practice of the word-Worship FIrst from v. 2. which expresseth the word Worsh●p to be worthy of yea to exact our best Wits and most serious yea emphatical extensions thereof in these words But be ye transformed in the renovation of your mind Secondly from the parental or proper procreating cause thereof expresly said v. 2. to be that Will of God which to know we are bound by all the Bonds of allegeance love wisdome glory and what not that is naturally or spiritually good Yea this equalenting that word Worship v. 1. with that Will of God v. 2. the particulars whereof are v. 4. to 8. expressed to be our present Church-Worship then practised in the Churches doth more radically and deeply dignifie it than can without more than ordinary ability and industry yea without our transforming our selves not onely into that new and spiritual Nature according to our new and supernatural estate by Faith but especially into the renovation or rouzing up of that new mind and nature be understood and without a special degree of Sanctification be approved which is expressed i● the intervening words For all that is there meant by that Will of God is that Word-Worship v. 1. in the general and its particulars v. 4. to 8 and much more is all that is meant by that Word-Worship v. 1. that will of God v. 2. But there is nothing of a higher natute either divine instituted or created than Will absolute neither is any thing more identically essentially and reciprocally predicated of God than Will for whatsoever is an absolute Will is God and God is an absolute Will and what is God is a simple Will And I could never attain to a properer definition of God than this God is a Will well actuating it self But you will say that Will of God is there taken metonym●cè by the cause for the effect True yet it is therefore both a proper and a special effect of that Will of God by this rule What is in the second declared by a descendent Metonymie is a prime propriety or proceed of that superiour Neither is that here taken meerly denotatively of any thing as aforesaid but properly demonstratively and emphatically for that which of all other things is most properly willed of God and may most truly be said and be thereby best taken for the will of God without farther addition than of the demonstrative article 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i. e. That This shal be farther cleered in the next Porisma where I shew by all the instances of Scripture I can find where God is said to be forsaken and that other gods are worshipped in his stead and the like that those places are not meant of the person of God but consequently which by that same consequence well proveth our point because they had forsaken this his Word-worship and used another which using God there and that will of God here for his Word-worship then and now ought much to provoke us to that through-knowledge thereof and devote us to and in the use and enjoyment thereof and also justifieth the approved use of Worship which properly signifieth Lord-ship as before for the signs means marks and testimonies of Gods Lord-ship over us by a Metonymie of the end or signed for the mean and sign which soul of that word ought never to be separated from the body thereof though never so frequently used left we understand not our own words or neglect them If then we would know what of all other is most necessited and worthy to be known know that will of God and what it willeth approve also know God himself and that whereby and wherein he most manifesteth his Deity and accordingly apply it to thy soul and thy self to it as therein most approving Gods Lordship over us Thirdly from the 3 Divine Epithites of that Will good acceptable and perfect good to us therefore omit not your benefit of this high nature acceptable to God therefore expose your selves in the extent of your love and fear to please him of through and for whom are all things perfect in them both and it self in kind and degree therefore this is above all things worthy and necessited to be throughly known Herein are three proo●s all very effectual but I rather avoid tediousness through the plenty of matter than heap up petty colours or search for quantity of matter herein Fourthly from the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that which taken demonstratively must have reference to that Word-worship v. 1. which expresseth that will v. 2. to be the efficient cause of that Worship v. 1. and its particulars v. 4. to 8. and the joynt cause thereof with the word yea of

By this TRANSLATION METAPHRASE and ANALYSIS of Rom. 12. from v. 1. to the 8. there appears two main considerations of divine Worship First its subject matter willed Secondly its respectives The matter willed by God is real and rational c. For readiness and memory sake I will frame them first Tablewise secondly Tractwise both so summarily as the Exposition will competently beare DIvine Worship is the Body of Gods instituted Will for his Saints peculiar publike serving of him which is here to be handled onely as the object of Gods peculiar Will of which we will consider ¶ 1 What is positive and true viz. that of the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 word-worship which is twofold † 1 External * 1 Real † 1 Subjective viz. in respect of a twofold subject X I Subjectum quod simple primitive or integral viz. the Church which is the permanency and eminency of Word-worship the pillar and ground of Truth 1 Tim. 3.15 with Rom. 1.25.23 Psal 106.20 Exod. 32.5 1 Stative i. e. the Church as incorporate which is the essenciall original both of the Church congregate and all its powers and adjuncts and that as ens causa integrum and subjectum v. 3. are 2 Active i. e. the Church congregate or representative the immediate subject of all ecclesiastica or Church-States Ordinances and actions v. 4. have 1 Cor. 11.18 20 22 5 4.
