and_o it_o do_v especial_o clear_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o what_o be_v the_o right_a object_n of_o worship_n it_o be_v jehova_n elohim_n the_o lord_n that_o show_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o

it_o clear_v what_o be_v the_o right_a channel_n in_o which_o our_o service_n shall_v run_v it_o be_v in_o the_o channel_n of_o the_o covenant_n our_o obedience_n be_v to_o be_v direct_v not_o to_o

it_o must_v be_v make_v up_o again_o which_o only_o can_v be_v do_v in_o christ_n and_o it_o say_v also_o that_o this_o relation_n to_o god_n in_o he_o and_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n can_v consist_v well_o together_o 3._o it_o clear_v what_o be_v the_o right_a and_o great_a motive_n of_o obedience_n to_o wit_n the_o benefit_n of_o redemption_n love_n and_o thankfulness_n upon_o that_o

the_o second_o commandment_n and_o the_o four_o commandment_n have_v reason_n press_v obedience_n annex_v to_o they_o which_o none_o of_o the_o other_o have_v at_o least_o express_o set_v down_o by_o the_o lord_n answ_n this_o may_v be_v a_o reason_n because_o all_o the_o other_o commandment_n be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n determine_v in_o man_n conscience_n and_o the_o sin_n against_o they_o be_v by_o nature_n light_n see_v to_o be_v evil_a but_o the_o substance_n of_o these_o two_o to_o wit_n what_o way_n he_o will_v be_v worship_v in_o external_o and_o on_o what_o day_n as_o

be_v therefore_o the_o lord_n add_v reason_n to_o each_o of_o these_o to_o persuade_v to_o the_o obedience_n of_o they_o as_o to_o the_o second_o i_o be_o a_o jealous_a god_n and_o therefore_o will_v

betwixt_o it_o and_o other_o day_n though_o before_o there_o be_v none_o which_o be_v further_o amplify_v in_o the_o text_n now_o by_o this_o reason_n which_o be_v also_o give_v by_o the_o schoolman_n it_o may_v appear_v that_o the_o second_o commandment_n concern_v outward_a worship_n according_a to_o our_o way_n of_o distinguish_v they_o iâ—_n distinct_a from_o the_o first_o which_o require_v the_o inward_a worship_n due_a to_o god_n for_o the_o first_o commandment_n be_v moral-natural_a and_o can_v never_o be_v alter_v and_o have_v as_o much_o impression_n on_o a_o natural_a conscience_n as_o any_o and_o therefore_o according_a to_o this_o ground_n need_v no_o reason_n three_o it_o may_v be_v observe_v also_o that_o some_o commandment_n have_v promise_n add_v to_o they_o which_o

and_o in_o the_o five_o that_o thy_o day_n may_v be_v long_o etc._n etc._n the_o reason_n give_v why_o promise_n be_v particular_o express_v in_o these_o two_o be_v that_o obedience_n to_o these_o

to_o the_o hatred_n of_o the_o world_n that_o man_n love_v god_n and_o fear_v he_o in_o their_o heart_n etc._n etc._n as_o it_o be_v outward_o to_o confess_v he_o before_o man_n and_o that_o by_o

of_o godliness_n sometime_o bring_v much_o prejudice_n with_o it_o and_o be_v to_o many_o troublesome_a and_o so_o to_o be_v obedient_a to_o superior_n and_o tender_a of_o inferiors_n be_v not_o

more_o to_o encourage_v and_o stir_v up_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o they_o the_o four_o thing_n we_o will_v take_v notice_n of_o be_v that_o some_o commandment_n have_v threaten_n express_v in_o
