there to bée worshipped But the Samaritanes on the contrarye part pretended the example of the Fathers as alwayes the forsakers of true pietye are wont to doe M. because they had worshipped God in that Mountaine Gen. 33.20 Gen. 22.2 Deu. 27.12 Wee reade of Iacob that hée erected an Alter to the Lorde in that place Some affirme that Abraham offered his sonne Isaac in that place Moreouer this mountaine was chosen to serue God there But those thinges which the Iewes obiected out of the scriptures cōcerning the Temple of Hierusalem the Samaritanes did not acknowledge for Authenticall For they allowed not the Scriptures sauing onely the fiue Bookes of Moises And this is the same which the woman sayeth here Our Fathers worshipped in this Mountaine and ye saye that in Hierusalem is the place where wee shoulde worship C. But the Samaritanes dyd verye preposterouslye in forsaking the woorde of GOD and following theyr owne Imaginations in worshypping God Whereby also wée maye note howe disorderlye they deale which preferre the examples of the Fathers before the commaundement of God Such are the Papistes which without any respecte of personnes estéeme them for Fathers which are most vnworthy of all others so to bée counted Moreouer let vs here vnderstande not euery kinde of worship for priuate Prayer might euerye where bée vsed but that worship onelye to the which Sacrifices were annexed Math. 14.23 B. For the Lorde him selfe oftentimes sometimes in the mountaine alone sometimes in other places prayed to his Heauenly Father 21. Iesus sayeth vnto her Woman beleeue me the howre commeth when ye shall neither in this mountaine nor yet at Hierusalem worship the Father Woman M. Although this Womans name was not vnknowen vnto our sauiour Christ yet notwithstanding he doeth not cal her by her proper name but by the common name of her sexe or kinde VVoman First of all because the same was not necessary Shée knewe now well inough that the Lorde had the Spirite of Prophesie Secondlye as yet shée was not made familiar with him And it is a note of familiaritye for a man to call another by his proper name When Christ appeared in the forme of a Straunger to Mary Magdalen first hée called her Woman saying Iohn 2● VVoman why weepest thou For hytherto he would bée vnknowne vnto her But when hée woulde bee knowne hée sayde Mary which voyce had a greate shewe of familiarytye Beleeue me the howre commeth Christ therefore requyreth to bée beléeued at her hande because without this faith the Doctrine of the Spirite and of the kingdome of GOD is deliuered in vaine Bv. As if hée should saye Woman cast out of thy minde all brawles ouerthwart aunsweres and contencions and if thou beléeue me to bée a Prophete as thou professest beléeue my woordes For I will not faine I wyll not lye but wyll simplye and purelye set foorth the trueth M. Sée therefore that thou do not deride those thinges which I speake as thou hast hitherto done but beléeue them in good fayth and doubt of the trueth of nothing that I shall saye A. By this place it appeareth howe disdainefullye and presumptuouslye they deale which exclude the common sort of men from the reading of the scriptures and from the searching out of those thinges which belong to the true worshippe of GOD and soules health For Christ aunswereth not this Woman saying What matter is it to thée whether God bée worshipped in this Mountayne or at Hierusalem which hast so litle feare of GOD that thou dost not abstaine from committing manifest euyll But rather gette thée home to thy house and looke to thy businesse suffer the Doctours to confer and reason among them selues of so great misteryes it becommeth not thée to talke of these matters The Lord obiected none of these thinges to the woman thyrsting after the trueth but rather was contented to reueale vnto her those thinges which excéeded the capasity of such wise men C. And this aunswere of Christ consisteth of twoo partes In the first he brieflye abolisheth the Ceremoniall worshippe which was instituted vnder the Lawe with the same also which the Samaritanes had deuised without the word of God In the other part hée setteth downe the true waye to worship God When he sayth that the howre shall come in the whiche there shall no peculiar or speciall place bée appointed to worshippe God in hée declareth that the same which was appointed by Moyses was but for a tyme the same time being then at hande when the vaile should bée taken away By this meanes the worshippe of God which was shut vp in a corner of Iudea extended it selfe farther in so much that the Samaritanes were partakers of the same also So that Christ speaketh here of the abrogation of the Law concerning the Temple and the Priesthoode and other externall Rites and Ceremonies M. Therfore we sée howe the worshippe of God in the newe Testament is tyed to no place in so muche that the lawe of God made concerning the true worshippe of God ought to bée abrogated notwithstanding the euyll example of Fathers For he sayeth not onelye Ye shall not worship the Father in this Mountaine but also he addeth Question Nor at Hierusalem What then maye some saye did neuer any man after that worshippe God aright at Hierusalem Dyd not the Apostles abide there a certaine time after Christes death Was not the Churche of the Faithfull there after the resurrection of Christ before and after the destruction of the Citye Did not the same worshippe God at Hierusalem I answere Christ speaketh not this to exclude the true worshippers of God from Hierusalem Aunsvvere but to teache that the time is at hande first in the which that shadowed worshippe shall ceasse secondlye in the which God wil be worshipped not onelye in Hierusalem or in the Mount Garizin as before but in the whole world to fulfill this Prophesie Mala. 1.11 From the rysing of the Sunne vnto the going downe of the same my name is great among the Gentiles and in euery place Incence shal be offered to my name and a pure offering For my name is great among the Heathen sayeth the Lord of hoastes 1. Tim. 2.8 A. To the which agréeth the Apostle saying I wyll that men in euerye place lyfte vp pure handes For he meaneth that there is now no more difference betwéene the Gentile the Iewe when God is acknowledged to be the Father of all Ephe. 4.6 C. Wherevppon Christ here calleth God the Father whome he séemeth to oppose and set against the Father of whome the woman had made mencion As if he should haue sayde God wyll bée the father of all men that hée maye nowe be worshipped of all men without difference of place or person M. In lyke manner hée geueth to vnderstand that he speaketh with an elect Daughter of God concerning the chosen and Children of God A. For such worship God not onelye as God but as

the Father the Spirite bearing witnesse vnto theyr spirites that they are the Sonnes of God and crying in theyr heartes Abba Father The Reprobate Rom. 8.16 Gala. 4.6 although they séeme to worshippe God yet they knowe not what true worshippe meaneth and doe alwaye abide in darkenesse although the lyght of the trueth doe shine more bright than the Sunne 22. Ye worship ye wote not what we knowe what wee worship For Saluation commeth of the Iewes Ye worshippe ye wote not what M. Because hée had sayde that the worshippe of bothe as well of the Iewes as of the Samaritanes should ceasse least he might séeme to haue nowe better lyking of the Temple of God at Hierusalem than of that which the Samaritanes had in Mount Garizin Bv. or myght seeme to make the Samaritanes worshippe equall with the Religion of the Iewes hée putteth downe a difference betwéene them both in these words and that no trifling one but a difference of great waight C. Notwithstanding hée deuideth the sum of his oration into twoo partes In the first he condemneth the forme of worshipping God which the Samaritanes vsed as supersticious and erronious and alloweth the worship of God among the Iewes as good and lawfull And he addeth the cause of this difference namely because the Iewishe worshippe was grounded vpon the word of God but that of the Samaritanes had nothing certaine from Gods mouth to maintayne the same Secondlye hée declareth that the Rites which the Iewes had hytherto obserued and kept shoulde shortlye haue an ende B. Therefore because the worshippe whiche was at Hierusalem at that tyme was stayed vppon the worde of God and that of the Samaritanes false by the Immitacion of the Fathers without the worde of God he repressed here the vaine bragging of the Samaritanes and affyrmeth that they worship they knowe not what That is to saye they worshipped God after a fashion of the whiche they were vncertayne whether it were acceptable before God or no naye it was reiected by playne oracles from God Therefore he taught the Woman that it was not méete for the Samaritanes to boast of theyr Religion and to preferre the same before the Religion of the Iewes C. This sentence of our sauiour Christ is worthy to bée noted by which wée are taught that wée ought to doe nothing rashelye or vnaduisedly in Religion because vnlesse knowledge be present to direct vs wée worship God no longer but a phantasie Wherfore by this sentence Good intencion ouerthrow all good intencions as menne call them are ouerthrowen for we knowe that men can doe nothing else but erre when they are ledde by their owne opinion and imagination without the worde of God M. For in the true worshippe of God there is required not onelye an Intencion to worshippe the true God but it is néedefull also that we haue knowledge to worshippe that we may bée certaine of our worshippe whether it please God or no. For saluation commeth of the Iewes B. Some restraine this vnto Christ who being the Sauiour of the worlde Rom. 1. ● was a Iewe by byrth C. But because there is no doubte but that Christ therefore preferreth the Iewes because they worshipped one God alone and no vnknowen God which reuealed him selfe vnto them and had chosen them to be his people vnder the name of Saluation that sauing manifestacion or reuelation which they had out of his worde ought to bée vnderstoode But why doeth hée say that saluation commeth from the Iewes when as rather it was hidde Question and layde vp in them that they alone might enioye the same Hée séemeth to allude vnto that whiche was spoken before by the Prophetes Aunsvvere Esay 2.3 That the Lawe should come from Sion For therefore were they segregated for a time from other people that from them at the leangth the pure knowledge of God might flowe to the whole world B. For the Gospell was deriued and brought from the Iewes to the whole worlde Lu. 24.47 And before the time of the Gospell the pure knowledge and Doctrine of God florished in no other nation than among the Iewes and it is likelye whatsoeuer the wyse men of the Gentiles haue euer taught that the same was euer borrowed of the Iewes Rom. 1.17 C. But this is the summe that if wee wyll haue our Religion allowable before God we must staye the same vpon the knowledge conceyued out of the worde of GOD. Wherevpon it followeth that they must néedes fall to Idolatrye which forsake the word of God M. Moreouer Christ ioyneth him selfe with the worshippers of God who notwithstanding is not onlye worshipped as true God of the faithfull but of the Angels them selues with the Father and the holye ghost But in that hée tooke vppon him the forme of a Seruaunt and was made man in that respect he worshipped the Father and was made obedient to him Phili 2.8 euen to the death of the Crosse 23. But the houre commeth and nowe is when the true worshippers shal worship the Father in spyrite and in the trueth for such the Father also requireth to worship him The houre commeth C. Nowe followeth the seconde part concerning the abrogating of the Legal worship M. whereby he teacheth what is the worship of the New Testament at the comming whereof those olde Ceremonies which were eyther at Hierusalem in vse or in any other place ought to ceasse And so hée admonisheth that the time of reformation is fulfilled Heb. 9.10 Therefore wée must note here the Antithesis or comparison betwéene the spirite and externall figures as betwéene shadowes the trueth Therfore the worship of God is sayde to stand by the spyrite because it is nothing else but the inward faith of the heart which bringeth forth inuocation secondlye the puritye of Conscience the denying of our selues that we maye bée whollye addicted and bent to the seruice of God Herevpon aryseth a question Question Did not the Fathers worship God spyritually vnder the Lawe I answere for so much as God is alwayes one God Aunsvvere hée hath not from the beginning of the worlde allowed any other worship than that which is Spyrituall which might agrée with his nature Of the which matter Moyses him selfe is a sufficient witnesse who declareth in many places that this is the onelye ende of the Lawe that the people cleaue vnto God in faith Deu. 10.12 and in a pure conscience But the Prophetes more plainely haue expressed this thing when they doe seuerelye inueye against the Hipocrisie of the people because they thought that God was pleased with that externall worship onelye Psal 50.8 Esay 1 11. Mic. 6.7 Amos. 8 14 with the offering of sacrifices Of the which wée may reade in the fiftéene Chapter of Mathew beginning at the eyght verse For such the Father also requireth to worship him M. This is the reason why the true worshippers worshippe the Father in Spyrite and in trueth namely because so it
