A91415	The Jewes synagogue: or, A treatise concerning the ancient orders and manner of worship used by the Jewes in their synagogue-assemblies. Gathered out of the sacred scriptures, the Jewish Rabines, and such modern authors, which have been most conversant in the study of Jewish customes. Wherein, by comparing the scriptures in the Old and New Testament together, many truths are fully opened, and sundry controversies about church-government truly and plainly stated. By William Pinchion of Springfeild [sic] in N. England.	Pynchon, William, 1590-1662.	1652 (1652)	Wing P4309; Thomason E802_4; ESTC R207368	80,705	99

preserve_v the_o truth_n of_o religion_n among_o they_o but_o their_o synagogue_n worship_n be_v sufficient_a without_o national_a worship_n both_o when_o they_o live_v in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o

17._o therefore_o their_o national_a church-assembly_n be_v never_o intend_v by_o christ_n as_o the_o chief_a mean_n to_o train_v up_o all_o sort_n of_o person_n in_o faith_n and_o holiness_n 2._o consider_v the_o place_n that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n appoint_v for_o their_o national_a church_n meeting_n and_o that_o be_v set_v but_o in_o one_o of_o their_o tribe_n which_o the_o lord_n will_v choose_v therefore_o all_o sort_n of_o person_n can_v not_o come_v thither_o every_o sabbath_n day_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o length_n of_o the_o way_n for_o the_o place_n be_v a_o great_a way_n off_o
