how_o far_o we_o be_v or_o be_v not_o in_o apply_v all_o the_o peculiar_a case_n of_o the_o jewish_a church_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n we_o observe_v this_o rule_n we_o do_v not_o urge_v they_o

justify_v from_o two_o instance_n the_o first_o be_v that_o of_o st._n paul_n in_o the_o one_a of_o corinth_n 9th_o chap._n 13_o 14._o verse_n where_o he_o infer_v the_o maintenance_n of_o our_o

which_o be_v very_o proper_a to_o our_o present_a design_n be_v that_o of_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o 21_o of_o st._n matthew_n 12_o 13_o verse_n where_o have_v drive_v those_o that_o buy_v and_o

sacrilegious_a profanation_n of_o the_o place_n of_o god_n worship_n to_o vindicate_v himself_o he_o refer_v they_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n by_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n chap._n 56._o verse_n 7._o which_o word_n as_o they_o be_v apply_v by_o our_o saviour_n belong_v not_o to_o the_o jewish_a temple_n but_o to_o the_o gentil_n oratory_n or_o else_o they_o will_v not_o make_v at_o all_o to_o our_o or_o his_o purpose_n and_o because_o the_o stress_n of_o the_o argument_n lie_v there_o let_v i_o make_v that_o out_o clear_a to_o you_o you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o furious_a zeal_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v so_o great_a that_o they_o will_v not_o suffer_v a_o uncircumcised_a person_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o temple_n than_o which_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o evident_a from_o st._n paul_n case_n act_v 21.28_o and_o josephus_n tell_v we_o they_o will_v not_o suffer_v agrippa_n palace_n to_o look_v into_o it_o for_o fear_v of_o profane_v it_o understand_v it_o therefore_o of_o

saviour_n will_v not_o suffer_v to_o be_v profane_v by_o common_a usage_n no_o not_o under_o a_o religious_a pretence_n the_o design_n be_v only_o to_o furnish_v people_n with_o those_o necessary_a provision_n which_o the_o law_n enjoin_v and_o which_o many_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o distant_a habitation_n can_v not_o bring_v with_o they_o from_o both_o which_o instance_n we_o collect_v our_o general_a proposition_n viz_o that_o we_o be_v so_o far_o under_o the_o obligation_n of_o the_o jewish_a precept_n as_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o moral_a improvement_n and_o from_o the_o latter_a we_o gain_v thus_o much_o of_o our_o particular_a assertion_n that_o god_n abhor_v all_o indecency_n and_o profanation_n of_o his_o worship_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o by_o that_o time_n we_o have_v consider_v what_o other_o proof_n i_o have_v to_o confirm_v it_o by_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o this_o injunction_n of_o reverence_n far_o than_o the_o particular_a right_n or_o manner_n of_o express_v it_o be_v none_o of_o the_o strict_a ceremonial_a or_o appropriate_a law_n of_o that_o religion_n but_o 1._o begin_v we_o with_o the_o former_a part_n viz._n the_o necessity_n of_o inward_a
