of_o a_o duty_n do_v there_o rather_o than_o in_o any_o other_o place_n even_o because_o it_o be_v do_v there_o hence_o they_o pray_v in_o the_o temple_n rather_o than_o in_o their_o private_a house_n luke_n 2.27_o and_o when_o they_o can_v not_o be_v present_a by_o reason_n of_o god_n providence_n in_o the_o temple_n if_o they_o do_v but_o look_v to_o the_o city_n and_o the_o temple_n god_n accept_v of_o their_o duty_n 1_o king_n 8.48_o so_o that_o god_n do_v promise_v that_o that_o place_n that_o he_o have_v institute_v for_o his_o worship_n and_o service_n that_o the_o service_n

resolve_v the_o question_n according_a to_o what_o i_o think_v in_o my_o conscience_n to_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v do_v two_o way_n 1._o by_o grant_v that_o which_o must_v not_o be_v deny_v 2._o by_o deny_v what_o must_v not_o be_v grant_v 1._o by_o grant_v what_o must_v not_o be_v deny_v and_o here_o i_o grant_v willing_o these_o four_o thing_n 1._o that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v not_o only_o lawful_a but_o it_o be_v often_o very_o commendable_a and_o necessary_a to_o design_n and_o dedicate_v place_n unto_o god_n now_o when_o i_o say_v it_o be_v lawful_a to_o design_v they_o and_o to_o dedicate_v they_o i_o pray_v you_o bear_v i_o witness_v i_o do_v not_o say_v it_o be_v lawful_a to_o consecrate_v they_o or_o to_o sanctify_v they_o but_o i_o say_v it_o be_v lawful_a to_o design_n and_o dedicate_v they_o now_o for_o this_o take_v notice_n that_o between_o 1._o the_o design_v and_o appoint_v of_o a_o place_n 2._o the_o dedication_n of_o a_o place_n and_o 3._o the_o consecrate_v of_o a_o place_n there_o be_v these_o difference_n 1._o concern_v the_o designation_n of_o a_o place_n then_o be_v a_o place_n design_v when_o it_o be_v appoint_v to_o be_v make_v use_n of_o for_o the_o most_o convenience_n for_o such_o a_o service_n as_o tuesday_n and_o wednesday_n may_v be_v appoint_v for_o lecture-day_n not_o consecrate_v now_o you_o must_v know_v that_o this_o designation_n of_o a_o day_n may_v be_v alter_v and_o so_o may_v a_o place_n if_o such_o a_o place_n be_v design_v it_o be_v in_o our_o power_n to_o make_v use_n of_o it_o so_o as_o to_o leave_v off_o the_o use_n of_o it_o when_o we_o please_v 2._o as_o to_o dedication_n i_o mean_v so_o lawful_o to_o dedicate_v a_o place_n which_o be_v of_o our_o own_o right_a to_o dispose_v of_o so_o to_o dedicate_v it_o as_o not_o again_o to_o be_v able_a to_o revoke_v it_o or_o call_v it_o back_o from_o such_o a_o use_n and_o purpose_n it_o be_v lawful_a and_o commendable_a for_o a_o rich_a man_n to_o dedicate_v so_o much_o ground_n or_o money_n for_o build_v a_o house_n for_o a_o free-school_n or_o for_o the_o poor_a and_o to_o give_v it_o away_o from_o ourselves_o and_o from_o our_o own_o right_a and_o power_n and_o if_o so_o be_v that_o a_o man_n have_v power_n or_o propriety_n over_o a_o place_n or_o thing_n it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o alienate_v such_o a_o thing_n and_o yet_o this_o you_o must_v know_v by_o the_o way_n that_o this_o dedication_n that_o now_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v very_o much_o differ_v from_o that_o dedication_n of_o free-will-offering_a unto_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n for_o they_o be_v dedicate_v to_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n immediate_o that_o be_v to_o his_o immediate_a worship_n it_o be_v part_n of_o god_n worship_n it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o religion_n to_o do_v that_o thing_n whereas_o it_o be_v not_o now_o dedicate_v to_o the_o immediate_a worship_n of_o god_n but_o it_o be_v dedicate_v immediate_o to_o such_o a_o priest_n or_o minister_n or_o place_n or_o company_n of_o people_n that_o we_o have_v a_o good_a will_n to_o gratify_v and_o so_o it_o more_o remote_o redound_v to_o god_n glory_v not_o immediate_o for_o god_n have_v not_o declare_v in_o his_o word_n the_o same_o acceptation_n in_o the_o gospel_n of_o thing_n do_v in_o a_o immediate_a way_n as_o he_o have_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n of_o which_o acceptation_n now_o we_o have_v no_o such_o promise_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v observable_a as_o one_o speak_v concern_v that_o benefactor_n in_o the_o gospel_n to_o the_o jew_n he_o have_v love_v our_o nation_n and_o build_v we_o a_o synagogue_n it_o be_v not_o say_v for_o god_n but_o for_o we_o this_o man_n out_o of_o love_n to_o we_o have_v bestow_v these_o thing_n to_o god_n which_o though_o a_o give_v ourselves_o out_o of_o our_o own_o power_n yet_o it_o do_v differ_v from_o the_o free-will-offering_a in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n ay_o but_o now_o sir_n you_o must_v know_v that_o sanctification_n or_o consecration_n that_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o when_o we_o sanctify_v a_o thing_n or_o consecrate_v a_o thing_n this_o thing_n that_o be_v so_o consecrate_a it_o be_v so_o holy_a that_o there_o must_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o unholiness_n or_o of_o a_o civil_a or_o secular_a employment_n and_o concernment_n be_v do_v in_o it_o now_o we_o do_v not_o dedicate_v a_o thing_n but_o there_o may_v be_v secular_a thing_n in_o a_o ordinary_a and_o civil_a way_n do_v in_o they_o and_o our_o service_n be_v not_o more_o acceptable_a for_o the_o place_n nor_o the_o place_n less_o holy_a because_o of_o those_o civil_a employment_n there_o be_v the_o first_o concession_n that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o may_v be_v a_o designment_n and_o dedication_n of_o place_n and_o it_o be_v not_o only_o lawful_a but_o commendable_a 2._o i_o grant_v that_o in_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n some_o place_n be_v to_o have_v religious_a service_n perform_v in_o they_o rather_o than_o in_o other_o place_n i_o mean_v place_n of_o natural_a conveniency_n and_o fitness_n for_o the_o meeting_n of_o people_n together_o whereby_o they_o may_v be_v free_a from_o disturbance_n from_o the_o violence_n of_o enemy_n and_o from_o tempestuous_a weather_n as_o public_a meeting_n whereby_o we_o have_v the_o society_n of_o god_n people_n their_o example_n to_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o zeal_n and_o their_o joint_a help_n in_o prayer_n and_o holy_a performance_n to_o go_v along_o with_o we_o that_o we_o may_v join_v our_o force_n together_o and_o with_o a_o great_a force_n wrestle_v with_o god_n and_o overcome_v he_o which_o be_v invincible_a and_o therefore_o my_o brethren_n i_o desire_v you_o to_o bear_v i_o witness_v this_o day_n that_o i_o plead_v for_o public_a ordinance_n &_o for_o the_o purity_n of_o god_n ordinance_n to_o be_v administer_v in_o public_a place_n rather_o than_o other_o place_n so_o that_o i_o do_v here_o profess_v that_o i_o do_v avowed_o and_o open_o declare_v my_o judgement_n to_o be_v for_o public_a meeting_n in_o public_a place_n and_o the_o purity_n of_o god_n ordinance_n if_o they_o may_v be_v enjoy_v without_o humane_a mixture_n which_o may_v hurt_v and_o pollute_v they_o 3._o i_o grant_v that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o holy_a service_n we_o be_v not_o then_o to_o use_v secular_a employment_n at_o that_o time_n in_o those_o place_n as_o eat_v drink_v and_o talk_v it_o be_v unsuitable_a to_o the_o work_n in_o hand_n and_o howsoever_o they_o may_v be_v lawful_a at_o another_o time_n yet_o unlawful_a then_o because_o against_o the_o apostle_n command_v let_v all_o thing_n be_v do_v in_o decency_n and_o in_o order_n and_o that_o which_o be_v unsuitable_a to_o the_o command_n of_o god_n the_o take_v his_o name_n in_o vain_a my_o brethren_n i_o will_v go_v further_o with_o you_o we_o be_v to_o abstain_v from_o all_o other_o religious_a service_n when_o not_o in_o season_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o minister_n be_v in_o preach_v we_o must_v not_o run_v into_o
of_o immortality_n on_o your_o head_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v if_o you_o have_v christ_n you_o have_v all_o thing_n all_o heavenly_a grace_n and_o spiritual_a comfort_n all_o temporal_a blessing_n if_o you_o have_v christ_n god_n will_v and_o can_v give_v you_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a for_o you_o without_o christ_n you_o be_v not_o and_o you_o can_v do_v nothing_o that_o be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n therefore_o this_o be_v my_o first_o counsel_n to_o you_o crown_v the_o prince_n of_o peace_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o your_o hearr_n and_o life_n second_o then_o maintain_v a_o constant_a and_o a_o conscientious_a intimate_a communion_n with_o the_o god_n of_o peace_n it_o be_v good_a counsel_n which_o eliphas_n give_v to_o job_n job_n 22.21_o will_v

herein_o consider_v first_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v promise_v to_o be_v with_o his_o poor_a minister_n always_o even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n mat._n 28._o ult_n if_o always_o

seal_v the_o truth_n as_o well_o in_o the_o pulpit_n preach_v the_o truth_n oh_o then_o will_v you_o put_v this_o in_o suit_n by_o prayer_n that_o the_o lord_n christ_n will_v be_v with_o his_o poor_a
