only_o to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n therefore_o we_o call_v it_o ceremonial_o holy_a as_o it_o be_v matter_n of_o mere_a ceremony_n to_o bow_v towards_o a_o chair_n of_o state_n as_o well_o when_o

those_o holy_a thing_n be_v not_o present_a when_o no_o ordinance_n be_v administer_a for_o that_o time_n they_o may_v be_v put_v to_o other_o use_n because_o the_o special_a presence_n of_o god_n

temple_n by_o the_o visible_a manifestation_n of_o his_o presence_n as_o namely_o by_o the_o cloud_n in_o which_o he_o dwell_v etc._n etc._n our_o church_n do_v relate_v to_o as_o holy_a thing_n and_o as_o holy_a ordinance_n as_o the_o temple_n do_v only_o those_o holy_a thing_n be_v not_o so_o constant_o in_o it_o as_o be_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n in_o that_o temple_n where_o he_o constant_o

the_o service_n of_o god_n neither_o of_o they_o be_v moral_o holy_a and_o both_o of_o they_o be_v relative_o holy_a only_o the_o temple_n be_v so_o continual_o and_o our_o church_n be_v so_o but_o pro_fw-la die_v &_o nunc_fw-la or_o during_o the_o time_n of_o religious_a administration_n i_o say_v the_o odds_o between_o they_o be_v not_o so_o great_a but_o that_o a_o argument_n may_v very_o
