A51669	The spiritual vvorship exalted. Or A treatise concerning the worship and service of God shewing how uncapable men are in their natural and unconverted state of worshipping and serving God acceptably in this Gospel day. And that it is the light, grace and spirit of Christ revealed in men, which doth renew, fit, prepare and [q]ualifie them for performing that pure spiritual and acceptable worship which was instituted by our Lord, and practiced by his disciples and followers. As also several other things here inserted, worthy of observation. By a lover of truth, and wel-wisher of the souls of all men, George Myers.

and_o your_o heart_n shall_v rejoice_v and_o your_o joy_n no_o man_n take_v from_o you_o john_n 16.22_o the_o other_o sort_n of_o mirth_n or_o joy_n be_v the_o joy_n of_o wicked_a and_o sinful_a man_n or_o that_o mirth_n which_o arise_v from_o a_o vain_a foolish_a and_o wanton_a mind_n the_o apostle_n james_n be_v so_o far_o from_o direct_v such_o to_o sing_v psalm_n that_o in_o the_o same_o

and_o the_o end_n of_o that_o mirth_n be_v heaviness_n prov._n 14.13_o again_o he_o say_v the_o heart_n of_o fool_n be_v in_o the_o house_n of_o mirth_n eccles_n 7.4_o also_o the_o prophet_n speak_v concern_v israel_n that_o be_v apostatise_v and_o go_v from_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o spirit_n among_o other_o thing_n say_v i_o will_v also_o cause_v her_o mirth_n to_o cease_v hosea_n 2.11_o thus_o then_o as_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o mirth_n or_o joy_n and_o that_o the_o mirth_n or_o joy_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v but_o vanity_n therefore_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o the_o mirth_n speak_v of_o by_o the_o apostle_n be_v that_o true_a mirth_n or_o joy_n that_o arise_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n people_n be_v secret_o

may_v be_v sing_v by_o those_o profess_v christianity_n answ_n although_o david_n psalm_n be_v very_o good_a and_o useful_a yet_o it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o any_o can_v sing_v they_o acceptable_o unless_o they_o be_v in_o some_o measure_n endue_v with_o that_o spirit_n of_o god_n david_n be_v endue_v with_o and_o be_v under_o the_o fence_n and_o exercise_v of_o what_o they_o speak_v it_o be_v not_o only_o the_o repeat_n or_o sing_v over_o of_o good_a word_n that_o the_o lord_n look_v at_o as_o have_v be_v before_o observe_v but_o it_o be_v the_o frame_n and_o
