stable_a rule_n none_o know_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n now_o this_o be_v the_o worship_n god_n require_v in_o gospel_n time_n arg._n second_o from_o the_o end_n of_o worship_n look_v what_o the_o end_n of_o worship_n be_v such_o must_v the_o worship_n be_v and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o jewish_a worship_n be_v so_o much_o typical_a because_o the_o end_n of_o it_o be_v to_o represent_v christ_n and_o that_o end_n be_v now_o attain_v and_o christ_n exhibit_v we_o must_v consider_v what_o be_v and_o be_v the_o further_a end_n of_o worship_n now_o the_o end_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n 1._o in_o reference_n to_o god_n 2._o in_o reference_n to_o man_n and_o both_o will_v show_v we_o that_o the_o worship_n must_v be_v spiritual_a i._n in_o relation_n to_o god_n so_o it_o be_v double_a 1._o to_o please_v god_n this_o be_v finis_fw-la operis_fw-la et_fw-la operantis_fw-la too_o if_o a_o man_n be_v sincere_a psal._n 19_o 14._o let_v the_o word_n of_o my_o mouth_n and_o the_o meditation_n of_o my_o heart_n be_v acceptable_a in_o thy_o sight_n now_o it_o be_v only_o spiritual_a worship_n that_o can_v please_v god_n that_o man_n do_v but_o little_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o god_n that_o think_v god_n be_v please_v with_o the_o bow_n of_o the_o knee_n to_o a_o altar_n no_o it_o be_v the_o bend_n of_o the_o heart_n that_o god_n respect_n it_o be_v not_o a_o organ_n in_o a_o church_n but_o the_o organ_n of_o a_o gracious_a heart_n and_o melody_n in_o the_o heart_n that_o please_v god_n 2._o to_o exalt_v god_n among_o man_n to_o render_v he_o glorious_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n now_o how_o be_v that_o do_v do_v you_o think_v that_o it_o make_v god_n glorious_a when_o man_n seek_v to_o honour_v he_o with_o bodily_a and_o external_a service_n no_o you_o can_v dishonour_v god_n more_o than_o by_o give_v he_o such_o a_o worship_n as_o beget_v a_o carnal_a representation_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n and_o when_o god_n will_v set_v himself_o forth_o in_o his_o glory_n he_o represent_v himself_o in_o a_o spiritual_a manner_n and_o he_o take_v they_o off_o from_o all_o corporeal_a thought_n and_o fancy_n god_n be_v a_o spirit_n to_o who_o will_v you_o liken_v i_o you_o see_v no_o shape_n god_n dwell_v not_o in_o temple_n make_v with_o hand_n ii_o in_o reference_n to_o man_n so_o the_o end_n of_o worship_n be_v pure_o spiritual_a such_o as_o these_o for_o i_o can_v but_o name_v they_o the_o elevation_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o god_n and_o its_o assimilation_n to_o he_o the_o union_n of_o man_n with_o his_o creator_n the_o supply_n of_o the_o soul_n spiritual_a necessity_n and_o the_o conduct_n of_o a_o sinner_n to_o glory_n and_o all_o these_o be_v spiritual_a work_n and_o to_o be_v do_v by_o spiritual_a help_n and_o therefore_o evangelical_a worship_n must_v be_v spiritual_a worship_n use_v 1._o this_o may_v serve_v for_o reprehension_n to_o two_o sort_n of_o man_n such_o as_o offend_v against_o this_o doctrine_n 1._o in_o principle_n 2._o in_o practice_n 1._o in_o principle_n such_o as_o plead_v for_o a_o carnal_a or_o ceremonial_a way_n of_o worship_n in_o gospel-time_n i_o know_v very_o well_o that_o what_o i_o say_v may_v possible_o displease_v many_o but_o i_o remember_v that_o tremendous_a say_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n gal._n 1._o 10._o if_o i_o please_v man_n i_o be_o not_o the_o servant_n of_o christ_n and_o if_o our_o adversary_n in_o this_o point_n have_v be_v of_o this_o spirit_n and_o carriage_n as_o calm_o to_o assert_v their_o own_o opinion_n and_o candid_o to_o bear_v with_o such_o as_o modest_o and_o peaceable_o dissent_v from_o they_o i_o have_v hold_v my_o peace_n and_o for_o such_o as_o be_v of_o moderate_a spirit_n and_o principle_n that_o can_v retain_v their_o own_o principle_n without_o the_o ruin_n of_o all_o that_o differ_v from_o they_o i_o speak_v not_o a_o word_n to_o they_o but_o when_o a_o man_n shall_v look_v abroad_o and_o observe_v the_o speech_n writing_n and_o carriage_n of_o many_o man_n and_o shall_v see_v such_o a_o weight_n by_o divers_a lay_v upon_o these_o lesser_a matter_n when_o a_o man_n shall_v see_v a_o sort_n of_o man_n among_o we_o that_o contend_v with_o great_a eagerness_n for_o a_o cross_n and_o a_o surplice_n than_o ever_o they_o do_v for_o the_o faith_n that_o be_v once_o deliver_v to_o the_o saint_n when_o minister_n and_o christian_n shall_v be_v judge_v and_o measure_v by_o this_o standard_n not_o by_o the_o brokenness_n of_o their_o heart_n nor_o the_o blamelessness_n of_o their_o life_n nor_o their_o ability_n for_o service_n but_o by_o their_o approbation_n and_o observation_n of_o some_o ceremonial_a nicety_n when_o man_n shall_v show_v more_o zeal_n for_o the_o observation_n of_o a_o holiday_n institute_v by_o the_o church_n than_o of_o the_o lord_n day_n when_o more_o respect_n shall_v be_v show_v unto_o a_o material_a temple_n of_o dead_a stone_n than_o to_o the_o spiritual_a and_o live_a temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v more_o criminal_a for_o a_o minister_n not_o to_o have_v a_o girdle_n upon_o his_o outward_a garment_n than_o not_o to_o have_v his_o loin_n gird_v with_o truth_n when_o a_o canonical_a garment_n shall_v be_v more_o respect_v by_o many_o than_o a_o canonical_a life_n and_o when_o more_o religion_n be_v place_v in_o have_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n upon_o our_o forehead_n than_o the_o power_n of_o the_o cross_n in_o our_o life_n i_o say_v when_o thing_n be_v thus_o if_o i_o shall_v be_v silent_a the_o stone_n will_v speak_v and_o therefore_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o speak_v i_o hope_v i_o may_v say_v as_o the_o apostle_n i_o speak_v to_o wise_a man_n judge_v you_o what_o i_o say_v i_o hope_v i_o be_o not_o speak_v to_o that_o sort_n of_o man_n that_o have_v neither_o patience_n to_o hear_v nor_o wit_n to_o understand_v any_o thing_n that_o differ_v from_o their_o preconceived_a opinion_n in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o shall_v appeal_v to_o the_o text_n let_v that_o umpire_n the_o business_n god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o god_n will_v be_v worship_v i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a that_o it_o be_v frequent_o say_v by_o papist_n and_o other_o that_o this_o text_n be_v impertinent_o urge_v against_o ceremony_n in_o christian_a church_n and_o it_o be_v soon_o say_v but_o if_o you_o mark_v the_o reason_n they_o give_v for_o it_o that_o be_v sufficient_a to_o confute_v what_o they_o say_v for_o they_o allege_v that_o christ_n purpose_n be_v only_o to_o condemn_v judaical_a worship_n which_o be_v whole_o void_a of_o internal_a and_o spiritual_a worship_n so_o a_o papist_n and_o another_o a_o late_a protestant_a interpreter_n that_o we_o be_v here_o teach_v that_o the_o christian_a worship_n must_v differ_v both_o from_o the_o jewish_a and_o samaritan_n and_o that_o in_o it_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o join_v the_o soul_n with_o external_a performance_n so_o that_o all_o their_o evasion_n be_v build_v upon_o this_o most_o false_a supposition_n that_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o teach_v to_o join_v the_o soul_n and_o spiritual_a worship_n with_o external_a and_o ceremonial_a contrary_a to_o 1_o sam._n 15._o have_v the_o lord_n any_o pleasure_n in_o sacrifice_n behold_v to_o obey_v be_v better_a than_o sacrifice_n and_o that_o micah_n 6._o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_n and_o what_o do_v thy_o god_n require_v of_o thou_o but_o to_o do_v judgement_n and_o show_n mercy_n and_o walk_v humble_o with_o thy_o god_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o most_o gross_a mistake_n to_o fancy_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o teach_v to_o join_v the_o soul_n with_o their_o external_a performance_n and_o therefore_o see_v in_o the_o jewish_a worship_n there_o be_v a_o conjunction_n of_o spiritual_a worship_n and_o ceremonial_a and_o the_o christian_n must_v differ_v from_o it_o in_o this_o particular_a it_o be_v clear_o imply_v that_o that_o shall_v be_v free_a from_o such_o ceremonial_a institution_n wherewith_o the_o other_o be_v load_v and_o shall_v be_v manage_v with_o simplicity_n and_o spirituality_n to_o this_o argument_n of_o the_o text_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o add_v four_o or_o five_o considerable_a inconvenience_n which_o follow_v from_o the_o introduction_n affectation_n and_o imposition_n of_o a_o ceremonial_a way_n of_o worship_n under_o the_o gospel_n 1._o there_o be_v a_o reduction_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o have_v be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o church_n for_o their_o unprofitableness_n i_o shall_v offer_v
