the_o most_o sacred_a part_n of_o the_o temple_n it_o be_v here_o call_v a_o house_n of_o prayer_n and_o not_o of_o sacrifice_n because_o prayer_n be_v a_o universal_a duty_n the_o chief_a and_o most_o eminent_a part_n of_o religious_a worship_n and_o without_o which_o sacrifice_n itself_o be_v not_o accept_v a_o house_n of_o prayer_n to_o all_o people_n whereby_o the_o extent_n of_o this_o

in_o as_o public_a a_o manner_n as_o the_o circumstance_n of_o mankind_n can_v admit_v the_o text_n be_v thus_o open_v and_o explain_v be_v capable_a of_o afford_v great_a variety_n of_o matter_n either_o for_o justify_v the_o sacredness_n of_o religious_a place_n and_o the_o reverence_n that_o be_v due_a unto_o they_o or_o for_o enlarge_n on_o the_o nature_n of_o prayer_n and_o show_v the_o excellency_n of_o that_o duty_n but_o because_o by_o prayer_n in_o this_o place_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o religious_a duty_n consist_v of_o prayer_n praise_n thanksgiving_n sacrament_n and_o dedication_n of_o ourselves_o to_o god_n which_o altogether_o make_v up_o our_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n and_o because_o this_o duty_n be_v here_o extend_v to_o all_o people_n to_o all_o nation_n to_o signisie_v the_o most_o public_a and_o solemn_a performance_n of_o it_o therefore_o the_o only_a thing_n which_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v from_o these_o word_n shall_v be_v to_o lay_v before_o you_o some_o consideration_n in_o order_n to_o raise_v your_o esteem_n for_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n to_o encourage_v your_o constancy_n in_o it_o and_o to_o increase_v your_o delight_n and_o joy_n in_o that_o most_o acceptable_a service_n and_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v a_o very_a seasonable_a subject_n in_o this_o holy_a week_n which_o the_o church_n have_v think_v fit_a to_o distinguish_v from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o lent_n by_o a_o peculiar_a enlargement_n of_o her_o public_a devotion_n the_o many_o unreasonable_a exception_n that_o have_v be_v make_v against_o our_o form_n of_o worship_n the_o place_v the_o main_a of_o religion_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o sermon_n and_o the_o fanciful_a opinion_n of_o some_o that_o they_o can_v serve_v god_n as_o acceptable_o at_o home_n as_o in_o the_o church_n have_v very_o much_o lessen_v that_o zeal_n among_o many_o which_o be_v due_a to_o that_o worship_n which_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o public_a assembly_n but_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o best_a homage_n which_o we_o can_v pay_v to_o god_n be_v that_o which_o be_v most_o public_a and_o that_o the_o best_a part_n of_o religion_n be_v that_o which_o we_o exercise_v in_o common_a with_o unite_a heart_n and_o voice_n in_o full_a and_o solemn_a congregation_n i._o this_o be_v the_o way_n of_o give_v the_o great_a honour_n to_o god_n it_o be_v but_o a_o poor_a and_o a_o very_a unworthy_a sort_n of_o honour_n which_o we_o the_o low_a of_o all_o rational_a creature_n such_o rational_a creature_n as_o be_v unite_v to_o corruptible_a body_n which_o depress_v and_o clog_v the_o soul_n be_v able_a to_o pay_v to_o our_o great_a creator_n but_o if_o we_o take_v care_n to_o glorify_v he_o according_a to_o those_o ability_n he_o have_v give_v we_o and_o according_a to_o that_o manner_n he_o have_v prescribe_v unto_o we_o he_o will_v accept_v of_o our_o sincere_a homage_n tho'_o it_o
