Written to a gentleman, who hauing an appropriate parsonage, imploied the church to prophane vses, and left the parishioners vncertainely prouided of diuine seruice, in a parish neere there adioyning.

service_n of_o god_n yea_o that_o pollute_v his_o church_n and_o house_n of_o prayer_n to_o servile_a &_o base_a office_n leave_v the_o parishioner_n uncerten_o provide_v of_o divine_a service_n to_o the_o destruction_n both_o of_o the_o priesthood_n itself_o and_o of_o the_o service_n of_o god_n in_o general_n 15_o but_o they_o will_v comfort_v themselves_o with_o this_o answer_v that_o though_o the_o church_n be_v sanctify_v to_o some_o purpose_n yet_o the_o sanctity_n thereof_o differ_v from_o leviticall_a sanctification_n and_o that_o god_n do_v not_o now_o kill_v any_o from_o heaven_n for_o profane_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o he_o do_v then_o for_o profane_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o law_n i_o answer_v the_o sanctity_n in_o deed_n of_o the_o one_o differ_v from_o the_o sanctity_n of_o the_o other_o for_o the_o leviticall_a thing_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n to_o be_v matter_n of_o ceremony_n but_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v sanctify_v by_o our_o saviour_n himself_o to_o be_v house_n of_o prayer_n not_o that_o prayer_n be_v to_o be_v use_v only_o in_o these_o place_n but_o that_o these_o place_n be_v only_o to_o be_v use_v for_o prayer_n and_o we_o must_v not_o presume_v that_o god_n sleep_v because_o he_o punish_v not_o now_o as_o he_o do_v of_o old_a the_o contemner_n of_o his_o worship_n for_o as_o the_o law_n consist_v in_o visible_a &_o temporal_a thing_n so_o the_o punishment_n therein_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n visible_a and_o temporal_a but_o the_o gospel_n concern_v thing_n invisible_a and_o eternal_a and_o therefore_o the_o punishment_n assign_v therein_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n invisible_a &_o eternal_a 16_o they_o have_v also_o another_o comfort_n answer_v and_o that_o be_v that_o though_o these_o thing_n be_v once_o spiritual_a now_o they_o be_v make_v temporal_a by_o the_o law_n of_o dissolution_n and_o especial_o by_o the_o stat._n of_o 32._o h._n 8._o cap._n 7._o it_o be_v
