now_o to_o deny_v what_o must_v not_o be_v grant_v and_o i_o likewise_o deny_v four_o thing_n 1._o it_o be_v not_o now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o any_o man_n power_n to_o set_v apart_o a_o place_n for_o religious_a duty_n so_o as_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v unlawful_a upon_o a_o due_a occasion_n to_o use_v it_o for_o civil_a employment_n or_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v always_o

food_n the_o synagogue_n among_o the_o jew_n be_v as_o holy_a as_o our_o church_n they_o be_v for_o holy_a duty_n as_o prayer_n preach_v and_o the_o like_a and_o dedicate_v to_o god_n worship_n and_o yet_o you_o must_v know_v there_o be_v civil_a employment_n use_v in_o those_o place_n after_o the_o religious_a worship_n be_v do_v and_o therefore_o in_o mat._n 23.34_o say_v our_o saviour_n some_o of_o they_o you_o shall_v scourge_v in_o your_o synagogue_n hence_o we_o use_v to_o keep_v court_n and_o consistory_n in_o church_n among_o we_o and_o some_o of_o they_o none_o of_o the_o best_a and_o we_o use_v here_o among_o we_o in_o this_o city_n constant_o in_o our_o church_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o alderman_n in_o his_o ward_n to_o meet_v about_o secular_a business_n as_o to_o choose_v common-council-man_n or_o the_o like_a but_o where_o there_o have_v be_v a_o dedication_n of_o a_o place_n to_o god_n worship_n it_o be_v only_a god_n that_o can_v make_v it_o so_o holy_a as_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v sinful_a to_o employ_v it_o to_o other_o use_n and_o if_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o church_n upon_o due_a occasion_n and_o reason_n shall_v substitute_v other_o place_n more_o fit_a than_o the_o former_a for_o divine_a worship_n than_o the_o former_a place_n may_v return_v to_o their_o former_a proper_a use_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o thing_n consecrate_v by_o god_n if_o the_o font_n table_n or_o pulpit_n wax_v old_a they_o may_v be_v lay_v aside_o and_o look_v upon_o as_o common_a thing_n and_o may_v be_v use_v for_o other_o employment_n and_o suppose_v the_o surplice_n be_v a_o lawful_a garment_n in_o god_n worship_n which_o yet_o i_o be_o persuade_v none_o of_o you_o believe_v doubtless_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v burn_v when_o it_o be_v old_a and_o past_a wear_n and_o the_o ash_n put_v into_o a_o pot_n or_o some_o such_o like_a thing_n and_o be_v bury_v under_o the_o altar_n but_o it_o may_v be_v use_v as_o other_o linen_n may_v and_o so_o the_o common_a utensil_n as_o the_o cup_n and_o the_o like_a when_o they_o be_v come_v to_o be_v old_a they_o may_v be_v use_v for_o other_o employment_n without_o fear_n of_o sin_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o excellent_a speech_n of_o one_o say_v he_o so_o to_o consecrate_v movable_a or_o immovable_a good_n as_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o sin_n for_o the_o church_n to_o use_v they_o in_o any_o secular_a employment_n it_o be_v a_o execrable_a and_o abominable_a superstition_n god_n have_v not_o consecrate_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o gospel_n so_o as_o that_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o use_v it_o otherwise_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n in_o they_o to_o make_v use_n of_o the_o cup_n in_o the_o temple_n in_o any_o secular_a way_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o for_o we_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o those_o thing_n be_v set_v apart_o by_o god_n own_o institution_n but_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o so_o consecrate_v by_o man_n as_o that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v make_v use_n of_o in_o secular_a thing_n without_o sin_n 2._o a_o second_o thing_n i_o deny_v be_v that_o no_o place_n now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v such_o a_o holiness_n either_o from_o institution_n or_o use_v as_o to_o sanctify_v or_o make_v more_o acceptable_a or_o effectual_a the_o service_n therein_o perform_v this_o be_v not_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o

he_o do_v not_o say_v where_o two_o or_o three_o be_v meet_v together_o i_o will_v be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o that_o place_n but_o among_o they_o god_n will_v be_v present_a in_o the_o place_n for_o the_o duty_n sake_n not_o among_o they_o for_o the_o place_n sake_n but_o the_o duty_n sake_n in_o the_o place_n to_o bless_v the_o ordinance_n for_o his_o own_o institution_n sake_n prayer_n and_o other_o duty_n in_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v regard_v for_o the_o place_n sake_n but_o now_o we_o must_v abhor_v this_o piece_n of_o judaisme_n for_o a_o man_n to_o set_v a_o place_n apart_o by_o consecration_n that_o this_o place_n make_v the_o duty_n any_o thing_n the_o more_o excellent_a or_o acceptable_a to_o god_n this_o be_v to_o make_v the_o tradition_n of_o man_n equal_a to_o the_o institution_n of_o god_n the_o temple_n sanctify_v the_o duty_n but_o not_o the_o synagogue_n and_o the_o altar_n do_v sanctify_v the_o gift_n and_o the_o person_n and_o service_n because_o it_o be_v by_o god_n institution_n and_o so_o the_o temple_n and_o altar_n do_v add_v efficacy_n and_o worth_n to_o the_o work_n but_o for_o man_n to_o consecrate_v the_o church_n it_o be_v to_o make_v the_o
