more_o for_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o which_o we_o call_v death_n but_o the_o separation_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o as_o before_o show_v sect._n vii_o num._n viii_o while_o there_o be_v soul_n and_o body_n in_o man_n there_o must_v be_v a_o soul_n and_o body_n of_o religion_n that_o be_v a_o outward_a and_o a_o inward_a part_n of_o religion_n and_o if_o we_o destroy_v the_o outward_a we_o shall_v lose_v the_o inward_a because_o the_o outward_a be_v design_v for_o the_o safety_n and_o preservation_n of_o the_o inward_a it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o inward_a be_v the_o chief_a and_o principal_a part_n as_o of_o man_n so_o of_o his_o religion_n but_o this_o do_v not_o infer_v that_o the_o outward_a be_v not_o likewise_o necessary_a we_o be_v command_v rom._n twelve_o 1._o to_o present_v our_o body_n a_o live_a sacrifice_n and_o this_o be_v call_v our_o reasonable_a service_n for_o be_v it_o not_o reasonable_a that_o since_o our_o body_n be_v god_n creature_n as_o well_o as_o our_o soul_n he_o shall_v have_v the_o adoration_n and_o service_n of_o our_o body_n as_o well_o as_o of_o our_o soul_n there_o be_v no_o outward_a or_o public_a worship_n but_o by_o our_o body_n we_o can_v otherwise_o express_v the_o inward_a devotion_n and_o adoration_n of_o our_o mind_n and_o this_o be_v so_o natural_a that_o whoever_o have_v a_o due_a reverence_n and_o awe_n of_o the_o divine_a majesty_n can_v help_v to_o express_v it_o outward_o by_o the_o adoration_n of_o his_o body_n in_o his_o approach_n to_o god_n even_o though_o in_o private_a as_o our_o bless_a saviour_n in_o his_o agony_n fall_v prostrate_a upon_o his_o face_n to_o the_o earth_n and_o whoever_o deny_v the_o outward_a worship_n to_o god_n or_o perform_v it_o slovenly_a and_o careless_o it_o be_v a_o full_a demonstration_n that_o they_o have_v no_o true_a and_o real_a devotion_n or_o just_a apprehension_n of_o the_o almighty_a therefore_o the_o outward_a part_n of_o religion_n must_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v let_v go_v because_o the_o inward_a certain_o die_v when_o the_o outward_a be_v go_v but_o the_o outward_a and_o the_o inward_a worship_n of_o god_n be_v not_o two_o worship_n but_o only_o two_o part_n of_o the_o same_o worship_n as_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v not_o two_o man_n but_o two_o part_n of_o the_o same_o man_n so_o the_o adoration_n of_o this_o one_o man_n outward_o in_o his_o body_n and_o inward_o in_o his_o soul_n be_v not_o two_o worship_n but_o two_o part_n of_o the_o same_o worship_n iii_o there_o be_v but_o one_o faith_n yet_o this_o faith_n consist_v of_o several_a part_n there_o be_v a_o faith_n in_o god_n of_o which_o the_o heathen_n do_v partake_v there_o be_v a_o faith_n in_o christ_n which_o denominate_v man_n christian_n yet_o these_o be_v not_o two_o faith_n in_o a_o christian_a but_o two_o part_n of_o the_o same_o faith_n there_o be_v likewise_o a_o faith_n in_o the_o promise_v of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o what_o be_v therein_o command_v be_v from_o

of_o a_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n be_v two_o faith_n or_o belief_n because_o many_o do_v believe_v a_o god_n who_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o christ_n yet_o in_o a_o christian_n they_o be_v not_o two_o faith_n but_o one_o faith_n because_o the_o one_o that_o be_v the_o faith_n in_o christ_n do_v suppose_v the_o other_o that_o be_v the_o belief_n of_o a_o god_n it_o only_o add_v to_o it_o and_o build_v upon_o it_o and_o this_o make_v they_o no_o more_o two_n faith_n than_o build_v a_o house_n a_o story_n high_o make_v it_o two_o house_n iv_o there_o be_v but_o one_o lord_n that_o be_v christ_n yet_o he_o consist_v of_o a_o outward_a and_o a_o inward_a part_n of_o body_n and_o soul_n nay_o more_o of_o both_o the_o divine_a and_o human_a nature_n i_o may_v urge_v the_o different_a person_n in_o the_o one_o divine_a nature_n but_o this_o will_v be_v no_o argument_n to_o the_o quaker_n who_o deny_v it_o but_o they_o deny_v not_o seem_o at_o least_o the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o as_o this_o lord_n be_v but_o one_o though_o consist_v of_o several_a nature_n and_o his_o faith_n and_o worship_n but_o one_o though_o consist_v of_o several_a part_n why_o may_v not_o his_o baptism_n be_v likewise_o one_o though_o consist_v of_o a_o outward_a and_o a_o inward_a part_n v._o there_o be_v a_o outward_a and_o a_o inward_a circumcision_n as_o well_o as_o a_o outward_a and_o inward_a baptism_n yet_o no_o man_n will_v say_v that_o there_o be_v two_o circumcision_n under_o the_o law_n as_o little_a reason_n be_v there_o to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v two_o

its_o first_o institution_n by_o christ_n if_o the_o quaker_n can_v find_v such_o a_o discontinuance_n of_o baptism_n as_o there_o be_v of_o circumcision_n they_o will_v make_v great_a advantage_n of_o it_o though_o it_o can_v be_v no_o more_o a_o argument_n in_o the_o one_o case_n than_o in_o the_o other_o but_o since_o they_o have_v not_o even_o this_o small_a pretence_n against_o it_o the_o constant_a and_o uninterrupted_a practice_n of_o baptism_n in_o all_o christian_a church_n through_o all_o age_n be_v a_o irrefragable_a argument_n against_o they_o and_o show_v they_o to_o be_v
