of_o worship_n there_o to_o be_v perform_v be_v such_o as_o immediate_o respect_v god_n himself_o 2._o though_o bodily_a reverence_n be_v the_o only_a thing_n express_v in_o the_o text_n yet_o the_o

reverence_n here_o require_v be_v both_o that_o of_o the_o inward_a and_o that_o of_o the_o outward_a man._n that_o of_o the_o inward_a man_n consist_v in_o such_o thought_n and_o affection_n as_o

almighty_a power_n of_o his_o presence_n with_o we_o and_o observant_a eye_n over_o we_o and_o in_o such_o a_o humble_a sense_n of_o our_o own_o unworthiness_n to_o be_v admit_v into_o his_o

and_o honour_n and_o glory_n and_o power_n both_o these_o be_v our_o bind_a duty_n especial_o the_o former_a though_o the_o latter_a be_v that_o which_o my_o text_n have_v more_o immediate_a respect_n
