least_o acquaint_v with_o it_o i_o shall_v not_o therefore_o now_o give_v you_o a_o particular_a account_n of_o its_o method_n or_o of_o that_o admirable_a connexion_n which_o be_v observable_a between_o the_o several_a part_n of_o it_o for_o these_o thing_n be_v already_o do_v by_o some_o pious_a and_o learned_a divine_n of_o our_o church_n but_o shall_v only_o show_v you_o the_o necessity_n of_o that_o reverence_n which_o be_v due_a to_o the_o majesty_n of_o that_o great_a and_o glorious_a god_n who_o we_o be_v to_o worship_v when_o we_o assemble_v ourselves_o together_o in_o those_o place_n which_o be_v dedicate_v to_o his_o service_n you_o must_v know_v therefore_o that_o the_o reverence_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o almighty_a god_n be_v twofold_a 1._o inward_a which_o be_v that_o of_o our_o soul_n 2._o outward_a which_o be_v that_o of_o our_o body_n in_o the_o first_o place_n when_o you_o come_v to_o worship_v the_o lord_n you_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o sanctify_v he_o in_o your_o heart_n yield_v unto_o he_o that_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a worship_n which_o be_v due_a to_o his_o infinite_a majesty_n and_o this_o you_o must_v do_v by_o believe_v in_o he_o fear_v he_o and_o love_v he_o with_o all_o your_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o your_o mind_n with_o all_o your_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o your_o strength_n for_o when_o our_o heart_n be_v deep_o affect_v with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n our_o service_n will_v be_v abundant_o the_o more_o cheerful_a but_o yet_o we_o must_v not_o so_o love_v he_o as_o to_o neglect_v the_o get_n our_o heart_n also_o possess_v with_o a_o awful_a dread_n and_o reverence_n of_o his_o glorious_a majesty_n for_o david_n tell_v we_o in_o ps_n 89._o 7._o that_o god_n be_v great_o to_o be_v fear_v in_o the_o congregation_n of_o saint_n and_o to_o be_v have_v in_o reverence_n of_o all_o those_o that_o be_v about_o he_o when_o our_o heart_n therefore_o be_v thus_o possess_v both_o with_o a_o reverential_a fear_n and_o love_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v then_o also_o be_v more_o careful_a to_o cleanse_v they_o from_o all_o impure_a and_o worldly_a thought_n and_o fix_v they_o with_o due_a attention_n upon_o those_o act_n of_o religion_n wherein_o we_o be_v exercise_v thus_o as_o the_o more_o inward_a part_n of_o solomon_n temple_n be_v still_o more_o and_o more_o beautiful_a and_o glorious_a so_o we_o who_o profess_v christianity_n and_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o live_a god_n shall_v be_v very_o careful_a that_o all_o the_o thought_n and_o intention_n of_o our_o heart_n be_v holy_a and_o spiritual_a every_o way_n so_o prepare_v and_o beautify_v that_o the_o lord_n may_v be_v please_v to_o take_v up_o his_o residence_n in_o our_o heart_n when_o we_o draw_v nigh_o to_o serve_v he_o but_o then_o 2._o you_o must_v have_v a_o care_n that_o under_o a_o pretence_n of_o inward_a sanctity_n you_o do_v not_o destroy_v all_o outward_a decency_n for_o as_o in_o the_o first_o commandment_n the_o lord_n require_v the_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a worship_n of_o your_o heart_n and_o therein_o do_v more_o especial_o delight_n so_o in_o the_o second_o commandment_n we_o be_v forbid_v to_o give_v any_o religious_a outward_a worship_n to_o any_o other_o now_o by_o this_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o the_o lord_n expect_v that_o homage_n from_o we_o and_o challenge_v it_o as_o peculiarly_a due_a to_o himself_o because_o his_o honour_n and_o authority_n be_v hereby_o uphold_v great_o in_o the_o world_n so_o that_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o enough_o at_o all_o time_n to_o glorify_v god_n in_o our_o spirit_n only_o but_o upon_o some_o occasion_n and_o especial_o when_o god_n be_v public_o worship_v by_o we_o we_o ought_v to_o glorify_v he_o in_o our_o body_n also_o and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o as_o st_n paul_n have_v plain_o tell_v we_o 1_o cor._n 6._o 20._o be_v because_o he_o have_v not_o only_o create_v but_o redeem_v both_o soul_n and_o body_n you_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n say_v he_o therefore_o glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o in_o your_o spirit_n which_o be_v go_n so_o that_o you_o see_v both_o soul_n and_o body_n shall_v join_v together_o in_o all_o those_o act_n of_o devotion_n whereby_o god_n be_v glorify_v for_o as_o to_o pretend_v that_o we_o can_v worship_n god_n sufficient_o with_o our_o soul_n only_o show_v too_o much_o irreverence_n and_o rudeness_n in_o his_o presence_n so_o to_o imagine_v that_o we_o have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v than_o to_o be_v exact_a in_o all_o our_o outward_a gesture_n be_v the_o great_a hypocrisy_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n it_o be_v true_a to_o doubt_v but_o in_o some_o case_n the_o lord_n may_v accept_v the_o inward_a devotion_n of_o our_o heart_n when_o we_o be_v not_o in_o a_o capacity_n or_o have_v not_o a_o opportunity_n of_o give_v any_o outward_a testimony_n of_o it_o but_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n at_o all_o to_o hope_v for_o his_o acceptance_n of_o a_o few_o bare_a bodily_a action_n while_o our_o heart_n be_v whole_o unconcern_v in_o his_o service_n thus_o have_v show_v you_o the_o necessity_n both_o of_o that_o inward_a and_o outward_a reverence_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o god_n in_o his_o public_a worship_n i_o shall_v in_o the_o next_o place_n take_v notice_n of_o those_o particular_a expression_n of_o reverence_n to_o which_o we_o be_v oblige_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o rule_n of_o our_o church_n agreeable_a thereunto_o and_o to_o all_o which_o the_o practice_n of_o good_a and_o pious_a man_n in_o all_o age_n have_v be_v conformable_a now_o this_o outward_a reverence_n you_o must_v know_v may_v either_o be_v express_v by_o word_n or_o action_n in_o word_n we_o reverence_n god_n provide_v always_o that_o our_o heart_n go_v along_o with_o our_o tongue_n when_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n unto_o he_o and_o offer_v up_o our_o prayer_n and_o praise_n with_o a_o audible_a voice_n and_o this_o be_v undoubted_o a_o very_a great_a privilege_n that_o the_o whole_a congregation_n in_o some_o part_n of_o divine_a service_n be_v admit_v to_o join_v with_o the_o minister_n in_o offer_v up_o their_o devotion_n unto_o god_n and_o we_o shall_v rejoice_v in_o this_o liberty_n especial_o since_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o testify_v to_o one_o another_o how_o ready_a we_o be_v with_o one_o heart_n and_o one_o mouth_n to_o glorify_v god_n and_o it_o be_v also_o to_o be_v consider_v that_o the_o people_n bear_v a_o part_n with_o the_o minister_n in_o the_o public_a devotion_n may_v very_o much_o tend_v to_o the_o more_o inflame_a one_o another_o devout_a affection_n and_o to_o the_o better_a fix_v our_o mind_n in_o a_o diligent_a attendance_n upon_o our_o duty_n and_o so_o to_o the_o render_v our_o devotion_n the_o more_o acceptable_a under_o the_o law_n the_o people_n indeed_o be_v to_o bring_v their_o sacrifice_n and_o oblation_n to_o the_o temple_n but_o the_o priest_n only_o be_v to_o offer_v they_o up_o whereas_o now_o under_o the_o gracious_a dispensation_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o people_n be_v so_o far_o
