themselves_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n may_v just_o expect_v such_o a_o answer_n from_o he_o as_o he_o give_v to_o the_o priest_n that_o offer_v pollute_v bread_n upon_o his_o altar_n mal._n

indeed_o look_v upon_o to_o be_v a_o absurd_a and_o ridiculous_a thing_n and_o therefore_o instead_o thereof_o they_o use_v to_o put_v their_o shoe_n off_o their_o foot_n whensoever_o they_o enter_v into_o their_o church_n which_o be_v a_o custom_n in_o those_o part_n of_o great_a antiquity_n perhaps_o than_o moses_n himself_o it_o be_v not_o at_o all_o improbable_a that_o that_o command_n which_o god_n give_v to_o he_o in_o the_o bush_n exod._n 3.5_o be_v no_o institution_n of_o a_o new_a ceremony_n but_o only_o a_o information_n that_o that_o place_n be_v hallow_v by_o the_o extraordinary_a presence_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o he_o ought_v to_o behave_v himself_o with_o the_o same_o fear_n and_o reverence_n and_o to_o use_v the_o same_o manner_n of_o worship_n and_o adoration_n which_o in_o those_o country_n be_v usual_a and_o customary_a in_o the_o temple_n and_o holy_a place_n dedicate_v to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n put_v off_o thy_o shoe_n say_v he_o from_o

here_o we_o may_v rational_o conjecture_v that_o god_n will_v have_v alter_v his_o command_n according_o but_o to_o leave_v these_o remote_a country_n with_o which_o we_o be_v not_o much_o concern_v and_o to_o return_v to_o our_o own_o from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o outward_a gesture_n and_o ceremony_n which_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o use_v in_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n be_v chief_o these_o three_o kneel_v at_o prayer_n stand_v up_o at_o other_o time_n when_o it_o be_v appoint_v by_o the_o church_n and_o have_v our_o head_n uncover_v at_o all_o time_n as_o for_o sit_v though_o the_o general_a practice_n of_o all_o man_n have_v make_v it_o to_o be_v connive_v at_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o sermon_n or_o the_o like_a yet_o it_o be_v a_o posture_n that_o be_v never_o very_o commendable_a in_o the_o church_n it_o be_v certain_o in_o the_o time_n of_o prayer_n most_o intolerable_a and_o he_o that_o use_v it_o least_o at_o other_o time_n deserve_v most_o commendation_n and_o come_v near_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o first_o and_o pure_a age_n of_o christianity_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o pious_a resolution_n of_o biship_n hall_n to_o this_o purpose_n in_o one_o of_o his_o meditation_n god_n say_v he_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o my_o body_n also_o and_o therefore_o challenge_v as_o well_o reverend_a gesture_n as_o inward_a devotion_n i_o will_v ever_o in_o my_o prayer_n either_o stand_n as_o a_o servant_n before_o my_o master_n or_o kneel_v as_o a_o subject_a to_o my_o prince_n i_o may_v instance_n in_o more_o particular_n but_o that_o i_o may_v hasten_v to_o a_o conclusion_n i_o shall_v name_v only_o this_o one_o which_o will_v comprehend_v all_o the_o rest_n and_o that_o be_v that_o our_o bodily_a worship_n may_v be_v complete_a we_o must_v take_v care_n that_o our_o tongue_n be_v due_o employ_v in_o bear_v its_o part_n in_o the_o public_a service_n of_o god_n as_o the_o church_n have_v appoint_v which_o if_o we_o will_v do_v we_o shall_v avoid_v that_o scandalous_a behaviour_n which_o be_v too_o common_o see_v in_o our_o church_n of_o whisper_v and_o laugh_v and_o play_v idle_a trick_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v abominate_v by_o all_o pious_a and_o devout_a christian_n thus_o i_o have_v show_v you_o according_a to_o my_o ability_n the_o sum_n and_o substance_n of_o this_o duty_n of_o glorify_v god_n in_o our_o body_n and_o in_o our_o spirit_n which_o that_o we_o may_v evermore_o perform_v effectual_o god_n of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n vouchsafe_v to_o direct_v

the_o second_o his_o ascension_n into_o heaven_n and_o any_o text_n furnish_v we_o with_o a_o very_a excellent_a method_n for_o the_o do_v of_o it_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o good_a and_o comfort_n of_o our_o own_o soul_n for_o first_o the_o apostle_n lay_v down_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o doctrine_n that_o our_o saviour_n be_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n and_o second_o he_o show_v we_o what_o influence_n the_o consideration_n of_o his_o ascension_n shall_v have_v upon_o we_o so_o that_o the_o text_n itself_o be_v a_o epitome_n of_o a_o sermon_n contain_v both_o doctrine_n and_o application_n the_o doctrine_n that_o our_o saviour_n be_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n the_o apostle_n take_v for_o grant_v in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n see_v then_o that_o we_o have_v a_o great_a highpriest_n that_o be_v pass_v into_o the_o heaven_n jesus_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o this_o doctrine_n he_o confirm_v chap._n 9_o ver_fw-la 24._o for_o christ_n be_v not_o enter_v

which_o the_o apostle_n make_v of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v in_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o my_o text_n and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o since_o christ_n be_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n we_o ought_v stout_o and_o resolute_o to_o maintain_v the_o profession_n of_o our_o christian_a religion_n and_o to_o contend_v earnest_o for_o the_o faith_n which_o be_v once_o deliver_v to_o the_o saint_n see_v then_o

this_o shall_v oblige_v we_o to_o hold_v fast_o our_o profession_n first_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o that_o jesus_n christ_n our_o redeemer_n the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n he_o who_o we_o own_o and_o believe_v to_o be_v the_o true_a messiah_n who_o all_o the_o prophet_n point_v at_o be_v true_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n and_o here_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o clear_v two_o thing_n by_o the_o way_n first_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o that_o heaven_n into_o which_o christ_n be_v ascend_v and_o second_o how_o and_o in_o what_o manner_n he_o be_v say_v to_o have_v ascend_v thither_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o not_o to_o trouble_v you_o with_o a_o account_n of_o all_o the_o several_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n heaven_n in_o scripture_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v by_o

in_o no_o case_n obtain_v a_o entrance_n into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n let_v we_o in_o the_o next_o place_n consider_v what_o manner_n of_o righteousness_n we_o must_v be_v which_o will_v bring_v we_o to_o those_o mansion_n of_o glory_n and_o 1._o it_o must_v not_o have_v any_o of_o these_o fault_n with_o which_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n be_v taint_v and_o render_v odious_a and_o abominable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n their_o righteousness_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v be_v such_o as_o consist_v only_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o external_a action_n according_a to_o the_o literal_a sense_n of_o the_o law_n but_o we_o must_v proceed_v further_a even_o to_o the_o cleanse_n and_o purify_n our_o heart_n from_o all_o manner_n of_o evil_a thought_n bless_a be_v the_o pure_a in_o heart_n say_v our_o saviour_n for_o they_o shall_v see_v god_n they_o and_o they_o only_o shall_v enjoy_v that_o beatifical_a vision_n who_o heart_n be_v undefiled_a for_o it_o be_v that_o which_o god_n chief_o respect_v and_o so_o long_o as_o that_o be_v right_a and_o sincere_a as_o to_o the_o main_n though_o we_o do_v sometime_o through_o the_o frailty_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o the_o strength_n of_o some_o temptation_n that_o have_v overcome_v we_o fall_v into_o any_o sin_n yet_o we_o shall_v certain_o obtain_v pardon_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n upon_o our_o true_a repentance_n they_o think_v themselves_o well_o enough_o if_o they_o do_v no_o evil_a nay_o more_o than_o so_o if_o evil_a be_v do_v they_o by_o another_o person_n they_o think_v they_o may_v with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n revenge_v themselves_o but_o our_o master_n have_v command_v we_o not_o to_o resist_v evil_a but_o if_o any_o man_n smite_v we_o upon_o the_o right_a cheek_n to_o turn_v to_o he_o the_o other_o also_o and_o not_o only_o not_o to_o hurt_v our_o neighbour_n but_o to_o love_v our_o enemy_n to_o bless_v they_o that_o curse_v we_o to_o do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o hate_v we_o and_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o which_o despiteful_o use_v we_o and_o persecute_v we_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o we_o that_o our_o outward_a action_n be_v not_o evil_a but_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n to_o our_o word_n and_o our_o thought_n we_o must_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o our_o eye_n keep_v our_o mouth_n with_o a_o bridle_n that_o we_o offend_v not_o in_o our_o tongue_n and_o bring_v into_o captivity_n every_o thought_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n for_o for_o every_o idle_a word_n and_o every_o misguide_a thought_n we_o shall_v give_v a_o account_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n 2._o our_o righteousness_n must_v not_o be_v such_o as_o make_v we_o presume_v that_o we_o can_v of_o ourselves_o and_o by_o our_o own_o strength_n keep_v all_o the_o commandment_n and_o fulfil_v the_o whole_a law_n alas_o we_o be_v not_o able_a of_o ourselves_o to_o keep_v any_o one_o commandment_n and_o s._n james_n tell_v we_o that_o if_o we_o offend_v in_o one_o point_n we_o be_v guilty_a of_o all_o the_o scripture_n have_v most_o plain_o and_o full_o discover_v to_o we_o our_o weakness_n in_o this_o case_n that_o we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v able_a to_o perform_v any_o good_a work_n that_o we_o can_v of_o ourselves_o so_o much_o as_o think_v a_o good_a thought_n without_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n inspire_v it_o into_o our_o heart_n who_o work_n in_o we_o both_o to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v of_o his_o good_a pleasure_n that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o just_a man_n upon_o earth_n that_o do_v good_a and_o sin_n not_o but_o that_o in_o many_o thing_n we_o offend_v all_o and_o that_o if_o we_o say_v that_o we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o we_o these_o and_o the_o like_a expression_n in_o scripture_n if_o we_o consider_v they_o be_v sufficient_a to_o satisfy_v we_o that_o we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v able_a to_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n that_o we_o can_v perform_v any_o one_o title_n of_o it_o as_o we_o ought_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o as_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n do_v place_v our_o righteousness_n in_o this_o that_o we_o be_v able_a and_o do_v perform_v a_o entire_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n and_o if_o so_o much_o less_o must_v we_o in_o the_o three_o place_n as_o they_o do_v and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n who_o follow_v their_o example_n do_v at_o this_o day_n boast_v of_o and_o glory_n in_o our_o own_o work_n as_o if_o they_o be_v meritorious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n the_o scripture_n every_o where_o condemn_v this_o as_o the_o most_o dangerous_a and_o damnable_a pride_n with_o which_o our_o heart_n can_v possible_o be_v infect_v and_o nothing_o will_v more_o certain_o
