to_o the_o world_n in_o what_o manner_n he_o must_v be_v worship_v the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n have_v some_o form_n in_o worship_v god_n &_o please_v themselves_o in_o it_o so_o well_o that_o

this_o as_o a_o undeniable_a ground_n that_o god_n must_v be_v worship_v according_a to_o his_o own_o will_n and_o pleasure_n &_o not_o according_a to_o you●…_n humour_n or_o invention_n therefore_o

not_o service_n &_o obedience_n to_o his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n but_o to_o man_n own_o will_n and_o humour_n therefore_o a_o man_n must_v not_o look_v for_o a_o reward_n but_o from_o himself_o now_o it_o be_v not_o only_a will-worship_n when_o the_o matter_n and_o substance_n of_o the_o worship_n be_v not_o command_v of_o god_n but_o also_o when_o a_o command_v worship_n be_v not_o

for_o the_o manner_n of_o it_o else_o it_o be_v not_o such_o a_o worship_n as_o the_o father_n seek_v &_o will_v be_v please_v with_o divine_a worship_n must_v have_v truth_n in_o it_o that_o be_v
