A73284 Profano-mastix. Or, a briefe and necessarie direction concerning the respects which wee owe to God, and his house even in outward worship, and reverent using of holy places. Shewing chiefly when, and how, wee ought to enter; how to behave our selves being entred, how to depart; as also, how to esteeme of Gods house at every other time. Written out of a true and sincere intent to reduce the disordered and factious, to a better order then either their neglect, stubbornnesse, or scrupulositie can purchase for them. / By Iohn Swan curate of Duxford S. Peters. Swan, John, d. 1671. 1639 (1639) STC 23513; ESTC S106202 33,675 74

think_v that_o god_n house_n may_v serve_v for_o other_o use_n beside_o his_o service_n retort_n it_o therefore_o back_o again_o that_o as_o god_n when_o he_o call_v to_o man_n for_o his_o heart_n mean_v not_o that_o the_o world_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o devil_n shall_v have_v one_o part_n and_o he_o another_o but_o mean_v that_o it_o be_v all_o for_o himself_o so_o if_o it_o be_v god_n

when_o we_o be_v force_v to_o make_v they_o serve_v to_o the_o necessity_n of_o our_o brethren_n as_o be_v see_v in_o david_n math._n 12._o when_o he_o and_o they_o that_o be_v with_o he_o go_v into_o
