9.10_o as_o the_o apostle_n call_v they_o and_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v so_o gross_o carnal_a in_o their_o apprehension_n of_o the_o business_n of_o religion_n that_o they_o stick_v

which_o be_v expect_v from_o gospel-professor_n but_o that_o worship_n which_o be_v not_o perform_v in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n according_a to_o the_o import_n of_o those_o term_n as_o they_o

there_o be_v a_o corruption_n in_o the_o manner_n of_o worship_n when_o
which_o we_o ourselves_o shall_v choose_v we_o must_v not_o do_v what_o seem_v good_a in_o our_o own_o eye_n 2._o man_n desire_v to_o satisfy_v the_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o delight_v in_o a_o

may_v be_v able_a to_o answer_v this_o question_n who_o have_v require_v it_o otherwise_o god_n and_o christ_n will_v reject_v our_o religion_n and_o worship_n as_o not_o be_v in_o truth_n not_o be_v

this_o be_v spirit-worship_n this_o be_v to_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n and_o christ_n tell_v we_o here_o that_o this_o be_v true_a worship_n he_o that_o do_v not_o thus_o serve_v god_n with_o

these_o motion_n and_o affection_n must_v be_v spiritual_a excite_v in_o we_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n or_o else_o we_o can_v true_o be_v say_v to_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n now_o 1._o

the_o usefulness_n of_o their_o invention_n and_o additament_n and_o devise_v ceremony_n for_o work_v upon_o the_o affection_n and_o to_o excite_v devotion_n the_o truth_n be_v that_o only_o the_o
