from_o those_o carnal_a ordinance_n to_o close_o with_o the_o proposal_n of_o a_o more_o spiritual_a law_n but_o yet_o this_o text_n can_v in_o reason_n be_v suppose_v to_o exclude_v the_o body_n

this_o of_o s._n john_n shall_v signify_v a_o worship_n pure_o spiritual_a or_o exclusive_a of_o the_o body_n i_o do_v not_o yet_o understand_v but_o it_o be_v a_o common_a rule_n in_o expound_v

in_o exod._n 20.5_o bow_v down_o the_o body_n be_v the_o high_a expression_n of_o our_o inward_a reverence_n and_o therefore_o meet_a for_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o great_a god_n be_v make_v a_o

down_o to_o the_o true_a god_n than_o we_o may_v bow_v down_o to_o grave_v image_n and_o contrariwise_o if_o we_o must_v not_o bow_v down_o to_o grave_v image_n than_o we_o must_v bow_v down_o to_o the_o true_a god_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o be_v forbid_v to_o be_v pay_v to_o the_o one_o upon_o this_o very_a account_n that_o it_o be_v reserve_v as_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a to_o

o_o come_v let_v we_o worship_n and_o fall_v down_o and_o kneel_v before_o the_o lord_n our_o maker_n which_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o stream_n from_o this_o fountain_n

whence_o we_o proceed_v to_o the_o five_o part_n of_o the_o text_n viz._n the_o meetness_n and_o equity_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o be_v your_o reasonable_a service_n that_o you_o present_v your_o

nature_n abstract_v from_o her_o corruption_n and_o indeed_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o because_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o natural_a law_n for_o as_o cicero_n say_v consensio_fw-la omnium_fw-la gentium_fw-la lex_fw-la naturae_fw-la putanda_fw-la est_fw-la the_o consent_n of_o all_o nation_n in_o any_o one_o thing_n must_v be_v repute_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o true_o as_o what_o nature_n teach_v must_v needs_o be_v know_v and_o spread_v as_o far_o as_o humane_a nature_n itself_o so_o when_o we_o find_v all_o nation_n agree_v in_o any_o one_o thing_n we_o can_v in_o

because_o they_o find_v some_o shadow_n and_o footstep_n of_o they_o in_o gentile_a write_n as_o purification_n by_o water_n and_o this_o before_o homer_n or_o at_o least_o by_o he_o mention_v and_o

of_o man_n that_o they_o may_v as_o well_o make_v the_o history_n of_o one_o nation_n but_o a_o imitation_n and_o corruption_n of_o the_o history_n of_o another_o whereas_o both_o jew_n and_o

that_o have_v no_o further_a direction_n then_o whether_o the_o jew_n have_v the_o same_o light_n together_o with_o the_o far_a addition_n of_o revelation_n may_v not_o hit_v upon_o the_o same_o truth_n whether_o it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o gentile_n have_v this_o from_o the_o jew_n again_o since_o each_o light_n direct_v mankind_n to_o the_o belief_n and_o worship_n of_o the_o deity_n and_o because_o there_o can_v be_v no_o public_a worship_n without_o the_o appointment_n of_o person_n time_n and_o place_n to_o that_o end_n whence_o they_o must_v descend_v to_o many_o particular_a constitution_n and_o custom_n as_o to_o these_o grand_a requisite_n of_o worship_n whether_o we_o can_v in_o reason_n suppose_v that_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a there_o will_v be_v some_o similitude_n as_o to_o person_n habit_n sacreds_n or_o one_o thing_n or_o other_o between_o the_o worship_n of_o each_o although_o these_o two_o body_n of_o man_n may_v never_o hear_v or_o know_v

though_o indeed_o moderate_a and_o rational_a discourse_n on_o this_o subject_n may_v much_o advance_v the_o glory_n of_o sacred_a write_n yet_o to_o press_v they_o so_o far_o as_o some_o have_v do_v rob_v the_o great_a part_n of_o mankind_n of_o their_o very_a reason_n detrude_v they_o into_o low_a species_n and_o therefore_o make_v they_o like_o the_o beast_n that_o perish_v leave_v they_o without_o light_n without_o any_o rule_n of_o life_n without_o law_n and_o consequent_o without_o any_o thing_n whereby_o they_o may_v be_v judge_v at_o the_o last_o day_n but_o i_o know_v not_o how_o any_o man_n can_v deny_v the_o point_n before_o we_o to_o have_v be_v discover_v by_o natural_a light_n unless_o he_o will_v correct_v s._n paul_n who_o affirm_v a_o law_n write_v on_o our_o heart_n

which_o he_o speak_v express_o of_o the_o gentile_n who_o be_v without_o law_n viz._n that_o of_o revelation_n do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n have_v the_o law_n write_v on_o their_o heart_n for_o the_o present_v ourselves_o a_o sacrifice_n holy_a and_o acceptable_a to_o god_n be_v the_o whole_a substance_n of_o all_o the_o practic_a part_n of_o natural_a religion_n which_o be_v take_v away_o we_o know_v not_o where_o to_o place_v such_o religion_n unless_o in_o mere_a notion_n or_o speculation_n and_o such_o can_v be_v neither_o a_o religion_n nor_o a_o law_n which_o do_v not_o direct_v and_o oblige_v we_o in_o matter_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n therefore_o the_o subject_n of_o and_o duty_n press_v by_o the_o text_n be_v natural_a and_o consequent_o a_o reasonable_a service_n we_o have_v this_o advantage_n and_o encouragement_n to_o it_o viz._n when_o the_o gospel_n propose_v and_o press_v this_o duty_n upon_o we_o reason_n step_n in_o and_o speak_v it_o good_a and_o eligible_a and_o conducive_a to_o our_o present_a and_o future_a safety_n this_o be_v the_o main_a thing_n that_o make_v his_o command_n as_o s._n john_n speak_v 1_o ep._n 5.3_o that_o they_o be_v not_o grievous_a for_o when_o reason_n can_v discover_v no_o good_a and_o necessity_n in_o the_o thing_n enjoin_v as_o it_o be_v in_o pure_a positives_n such_o as_o be_v circumcision_n abstinency_n from_o some_o sort_n of_o meat_n and_o in_o divers_a other_o mosaic_a right_n and_o custom_n nature_n draw_v back_o and_o reject_v these_o precept_n as_o matter_n of_o toil_n and_o self-denial_n but_o of_o no_o advantage_n which_o perhaps_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o breach_n of_o some_o positives_n under_o the_o law_n be_v more_o severe_o threaten_v than_o sin_n in_o some_o point_n that_o be_v intrinsical_o good_a and_o evil_n whereas_o when_o the_o matter_n of_o a_o precept_n be_v agreeable_a to_o our_o reason_n we_o have_v a_o argument_n within_o even_o the_o same_o reason_n which_o press_v we_o to_o close_v with_o the_o external_a precept_n and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o in_o this_o case_n i_o leave_v even_o yourselves_o to_o judge_v for_o what_o be_v more_o just_a and_o reasonable_a than_o this_o that_o we_o shall_v present_v ourselves_o a_o live_a sacrifice_n to_o that_o god_n from_o who_o we_o have_v receive_v our_o body_n our_o being_n together_o with_o all_o the_o comfort_n and_o blessing_n of_o they_o what_o more_o fit_a than_o that_o we_o shall_v live_v to_o his_o glory_n in_o who_o we_o live_v and_o move_v what_o more_o equitable_a than_o that_o we_o shall_v obey_v he_o to_o who_o we_o do_v belong_v by_o all_o the_o sacred_a tie_n of_o creation_n redemption_n dedication_n and_o voluntary_a resignation_n of_o ourselves_o this_o be_v so_o clear_a and_o undeniable_a a_o thing_n that_o all_o man_n that_o have_v and_o will_v use_v their_o reason_n must_v subscribe_v to_o it_o as_o our_o reasonable_a service_n therefore_o if_o man_n will_v not_o do_v so_o the_o disadvantage_n lie_v here_o that_o they_o sin_v not_o only_o against_o revelation_n but_o nature_n too_o and_o therefore_o shall_v be_v self-condemned_a as_o well_o as_o by_o that_o judge_n of_o quick_a and_o dead_a and_o thence_o go_v with_o shame_n and_o silence_n into_o those_o misery_n that_o wait_v they_o who_o know_v god_n but_o will_v not_o call_v upon_o his_o name_n therefore_o if_o there_o be_v any_o virtue_n any_o praise_n any_o pity_n and_o compassion_n for_o yourselves_o let_v the_o importunity_n of_o so_o great_a a_o apostle_n prevail_v with_o we_o in_o a_o thing_n so_o just_a and_o reasonable_a ibeseech_v you_o brethren_z by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n that_o you_o present_v your_o body_n which_o be_v your_o reasonable_a service_n in_o fine_a one_o great_a reason_n why_o many_o live_v no_o better_o and_o do_v no_o more_o good_a in_o their_o generation_n be_v this_o that_o they_o worship_v no_o more_o therefore_o s._n paul_n do_v press_v we_o to_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o former_a table_n that_o be_v to_o own_o and_o present_v ourselves_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n and_o in_o case_n man_n be_v

by_o this_o mean_n man_n may_v be_v not_o only_o a_o sacrifice_n but_o also_o holy_a and_o acceptable_a to_o god_n for_o this_o part_n of_o our_o religion_n do_v sweet_o influence_n our_o whole_a life_n for_o this_o weaken_v corruption_n restore_v we_o more_o to_o ourselves_o and_o inable_v we_o to_o live_v up_o to_o the_o rule_n and_o dictate_v of_o right_a reason_n and_o therefore_o dispose_v to_o all_o good_a office_n and_o where_o man_n be_v not_o so_o much_o want_v in_o the_o thing_n as_o mistake_v in_o the_o end_n and_o motive_n of_o it_o this_o rectify_v all_o these_o
