a_o discourse_n concern_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n towards_o the_o holy_a table_n or_o altar_n london_n print_v by_o j.g._n to_o be_v sell_v by_o james_n good_a bookseller_n in_o oxon_n 1682._o a_o treatise_n show_v that_o the_o adoration_n or_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o his_o house_n towards_o the_o h._n table_n or_o altar_n be_v neither_o idolatry_n superstition_n or_o will-worship_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a agreeable_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o warrant_v by_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o all_o age_n they_o that_o go_v about_o to_o evince_v a_o truth_n prejudice_n to_o remove_v prejudice_n and_o to_o demonstrate_v unto_o the_o apprehension_n of_o such_o as_o have_v strong_o oppose_v it_o before_o as_o a_o error_n will_v find_v it_o a_o hard_a task_n yea_o altogether_o impossible_a unless_o he_o can_v first_o persuade_v they_o to_o dispossess_v themselves_o of_o one_o principle_n which_o be_v usual_o deep_o root_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o such_o as_o be_v already_o prejudice_v with_o a_o ill_a opinion_n of_o this_o doctrine_n to_o be_v evince_v that_o be_v because_o they_o will_v not_o be_v think_v to_o be_v so_o impotent_a in_o judgement_n as_o so_o long_o to_o have_v believe_v and_o maintain_v a_o error_n or_o out_o of_o a_o self-conceit_n and_o opinion_n of_o their_o own_o infallibility_n that_o whatsoever_o they_o have_v once_o hold_v must_v needs_o be_v truth_n resolve_v absolute_o and_o unmoved_o to_o defend_v it_o never_o consider_v the_o connexion_n between_o the_o premise_n and_o conclusion_n of_o their_o adversary_n

entreat_v the_o reader_n that_o he_o will_v for_o the_o time_n at_o least_o make_v himself_o a_o three_o person_n and_o degage_v himself_o from_o both_o opinion_n as_o if_o he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o both_o that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v a_o free_a and_o impartial_a judge_n not_o weigh_v how_o my_o argument_n comply_v with_o his_o private_a persuasion_n but_o what_o necessary_a connexion_n there_o be_v between_o my_o argument_n and_o the_o cause_n or_o conclusion_n i_o have_v undertake_v to_o prove_v order_n the_o order_n in_o handle_v whereof_o i_o will_v observe_v this_o order_n 1._o i_o will_v explain_v the_o question_n and_o state_n it_o 2._o i_o will_v prove_v it_o 3._o i_o will_v clear_v it_o from_o all_o objection_n and_o aspersion_n but_o first_o altar_n obj._n from_o the_o word_n altar_n i_o will_v remove_v one_o objection_n against_o the_o word_n altar_n what_o have_v we_o to_o do_v with_o altar_n if_o altar_n we_o must_v have_v priest_n and_o sacrifice_n too_o for_o these_o be_v correlate_n and_o so_o we_o shall_v have_v judaisme_n up_o again_o resp_n i_o grant_v the_o antecedent_n judaisme_n resp_n it_o do_v not_o infer_v judaisme_n but_o deny_v the_o consequent_a a_o altar_n a_o priesthood_n a_o sacrifice_n i_o grant_v that_o this_o will_v infer_v judaisme_n i_o deny_v for_o those_o altar_n priest_n and_o sacrifice_n be_v but_o typical_a shadow_n of_o the_o true_a one_o and_o therefore_o not_o so_o proper_o call_v but_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o true_a one_o otherwise_o christ_n offering_n himself_o be_v not_o a_o true_a and_o real_a sacrifice_n nor_o he_o a_o true_a and_o real_a priest_n nor_o his_o cross_n a_o true_a and_o real_a altar_n but_o this_o to_o be_v false_a be_v apparent_a by_o scripture_n hebr._n 7._o the_o apostle_n make_v a_o distinction_n of_o a_o double_a priesthood_n one_o typical_a the_o other_o real_a that_o after_o the_o order_n of_o aaron_n this_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedeck_v that_o to_o be_v abolish_v this_o to_o remain_v for_o ever_o that_o have_v no_o perfection_n this_o have_v of_o this_o order_n be_v our_o saviour_n a_o priest_n so_o call_v for_o this_o very_a reason_n because_o he_o offer_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n so_o corinth_n the_o 9th_o and_o 10_o he_o plain_o disparage_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n and_o make_v our_o saviour_n the_o only_a true_a and_o proper_a sacrifice_n therefore_o i_o invert_v the_o argument_n thus_o we_o have_v a_o altar_n a_o sacrifice_n and_o priesthood_n ergo_fw-la we_o abolish_v the_o jewish_a ceremony_n for_o they_o be_v not_o such_o proper_o but_o typical_o these_o be_v so_o true_o as_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o those_o shadow_n service_n communion_n service_n beside_o our_o church_n in_o the_o prayer_n immediate_o before_o the_o consecration_n call_v our_o saviour_n suffering_n on_o the_o cross_n a_o full_a 5.7_o 1_o cor._n 5.7_o perfect_a and_o sufficient_a sacrifice_n and_o 1_o cor._n 5._o christ_n our_o

hebr._n 13.16_o prayer_n psalm_n 141.2_o they_o be_v call_v the_o calf_n of_o our_o li_n and_o what_o more_o frequent_a than_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n these_o be_v call_v spiritual_a sacrifice_n in_o which_o respect_n we_o be_v call_v a_o holy_a priesthood_n this_o i_o speak_v to_o vindicate_v the_o word_n that_o it_o may_v not_o seem_v so_o odious_a which_o the_o holy-ghost_n himself_o still_o use_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n obj._n i_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v spiritual_a sacrifice_n and_o priest_n and_o altar_n viz._n the_o altar_n of_o heart_n but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o the_o communion_n table_n or_o though_o we_o allow_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o priest_n and_o his_o offering_n himself_o a_o true_a sacrifice_n and_o the_o cross_a a_o true_a altar_n yet_o why_o shall_v the_o communion_n table_n the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v call_v by_o these_o name_n by_o what_o i_o have_v before_o prove_v resp_n resp_n it_o appear_v that_o these_o word_n do_v not_o necessary_o infer_v judaisme_n but_o the_o contrary_a and_o so_o that_o part_n of_o the_o objection_n be_v satisfy_v to_o the_o other_o quaeri_fw-la what_o reason_n we_o have_v to_o call_v the_o holy_a table_n a_o altar_n minister_n priest_n sacifice_n sacrament_n fit_o call_v a_o sacifice_n the_o sacrament_n a_o sacrifice_n i_o answer_v they_o be_v so_o and_o so_o call_v in_o scripture_n and_o ancient_a father_n and_o all_o church_n to_o this_o time_n until_o some_o mushroom_n novil_n puritan_n spring_v up_o that_o out_o of_o ignorance_n and_o blind_a zeal_n will_v have_v suppress_v they_o that_o they_o be_v so_o i_o prove_v thus_o if_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n and_o paschal_n lamb_n be_v such_o and_o so_o call_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o reference_n they_o have_v to_o the_o true_a sacrifice_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n not_o yet_o exhibit_v then_o may_v the_o sacramental_a commemoration_n of_o this_o sacrifice_n already_o exhibit_v be_v much_o more_o fit_o so_o call_v the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n stand_v thus_o if_o the_o shadow_n may_v be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o antitype_n then_o much_o more_o may_v the_o true_a real_a and_o lively_a commemoration_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o already_o in_o act_n now_o sacrifice_n be_v but_o so_o call_v because_o they_o be_v shadow_n the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o true_a real_a exhibition_n and_o lively_a commemoration_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n itself_o and_o that_o by_o virtue_n of_o christ_n own_o word_n do_v this_o as_o oft_o as_o you_o do_v it_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o do_v this_o do_v what_o this_o you_o have_v see_v i_o do_v what_o be_v that_o he_o take_v bread_n give_v thanks_o break_v it_o say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n take_v eat_v he_o take_v wine_n pour_v it_o out_o say_v drink_v you_o all_o of_o this_o this_o be_v my_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o many_o for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n etc._n etc._n mark_v it_o what_o be_v the_o break_n of_o his_o body_n in_o the_o bread_n the_o pour_v out_o of_o his_o blood_n in_o the_o wine_n be_v it_o not_o a_o sacrifice_n sure_o it_o be_v for_o it_o be_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n now_o no_o remission_n without_o blood_n no_o blood_n without_o a_o sacrifice_n so_o the_o apostle_n argue_v to_o the_o hebrew_n again_o he_o say_v not_o

table_n stand_v like_o a_o alehouse_n table_n either_o with_o out_o a_o carpet_n or_o with_o such_o a_o one_o as_o a_o man_n will_v scarce_o wipe_v his_o shoe_n withal_o a_o scurvy_a lousy_a

these_o thing_n handsome_a at_o home_n how_o then_o can_v they_o think_v they_o handsome_a in_o god_n house_n i_o appeal_v to_o the_o reader_n whether_o many_o gentleman_n kichen_n be_v not_o

in_o his_o house_n than_o with_o that_o which_o they_o themselves_o in_o their_o own_o house_n count_v ugly_a and_o unseemly_a if_o it_o be_v but_o for_o this_o one_o piece_n of_o slovenly_a

peace_n be_v here_o why_o do_v our_o saviour_n command_v his_o disciple_n when_o they_o enter_v into_o a_o house_n to_o salute_v it_o be_v it_o seemly_a and_o comely_a to_o salute_v a_o man_n house_n when_o we_o come_v into_o it_o and_o be_v it_o not_o much_o more_o seemly_a to_o express_v reverence_n and_o obeisance_n to_o god_n when_o we_o ●es_v foot_n into_o he_o obj._n devotion_n but_o it_o trouble_v my_o devotion_n but_o this_o will_v trouble_v my_o devotion_n distract_v my_o thought_n and_o hinder_v my_o inward_a reverence_n while_o i_o be_o think_v of_o make_v a_o leg_n or_o

needs_o trouble_v your_o thought_n and_o put_v out_o of_o your_o mind_n the_o inward_a reverence_n and_o thought_n of_o god_n this_o be_v strange_a let_v i_o ask_v one_o question_n do_v sigh_v and_o

then_o shall_v reverence_n which_o be_v likewise_o a_o passion_n be_v mix_v of_o love_n which_o look_v at_o god_n as_o good_a and_o fear_v which_o look_v at_o his_o greatness_n why_o i_o say_v shall_v this_o be_v hinder_v by_o the_o outward_a bow_v of_o the_o body_n more_o than_o any_o other_o passion_n nay_o why_o shall_v it_o not_o rather_o perfect_a and_o increase_v it_o why_o shall_v it_o not_o

the_o inward_a respect_n of_o child_n to_o their_o parent_n to_o give_v they_o outward_a reverence_n to_o kneel_z to_z to_o they_o and_o ask_v they_o blessing_n do_v it_o not_o make_v they_o rather_o have_v a_o high_a and_o great_a esteem_n of_o they_o why_o then_o shall_v it_o not_o be_v so_o between_o god_n our_o heavenly_a father_n and_o we_o nay_o why_o shall_v it_o distract_v our_o devotion_n more_o to_o bow_v to_o god_n when_o we_o come_v into_o the_o church_n than_o to_o kneel_v in_o our_o pew_v i_o see_v no_o reason_n of_o the_o one_o more_o than_o the_o other_o be_v god_n to_o be_v

we_o will_v all_o fall_v down_o with_o fear_n and_o reverence_n and_o why_o but_o because_o of_o god_n presence_n who_o yet_o be_v no_o more_o in_o such_o a_o symbol_n or_o sign_n than_o he_o be_v in_o our_o church_n for_o god_n be_v not_o visible_a nor_o be_v it_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o worship_v such_o a_o sign_n but_o he_o who_o presence_n be_v manifest_v thereby_o though_o we_o have_v
