not_o a_o vile_a thing_n to_o hinder_v &_o disturb_v the_o saint_n in_o those_o thing_n whereby_o they_o draw_v near_o to_o god_n 1._o either_o by_o deprive_v they_o of_o ordinance_n and_o rob_v

reason_n the_o saint_n be_v so_o much_o take_v with_o ordinance_n because_o they_o draw_v near_o to_o god_n in_o they_o they_o look_v upon_o ordinance_n as_o bridge_n to_o give_v they_o a_o passage_n to_o god_n as_o boat_n to_o convey_v they_o into_o the_o bosom_n of_o christ_n spiritus_fw-la vehicula_fw-la spiritus_fw-la as_o mean_n to_o bring_v they_o into_o more_o intimate_a communion_n with_o

they_o look_v upon_o ordinance_n as_o those_o thing_n whereby_o they_o have_v to_o do_v with_o god_n and_o therefore_o be_v ordinance_n so_o precious_a indeed_o to_o they_o who_o have_v to_o do_v

say_v he_o will_v be_v sanctify_v and_o god_n will_n be_v our_o law_n god_n do_v not_o only_o command_v the_o substance_n but_o the_o circumstance_n not_o only_o the_o matter_n of_o worship_n but_o the_o manner_n and_o though_o the_o matter_n be_v good_a if_o the_o manner_n of_o performance_n be_v naught_o god_n do_v not_o regard_v it_o you_o see_v what_o he_o say_v to_o the_o jew_n he_o that_o sacrifice_v be_v as_o he_o who_o kill_v a_o man_n and_o he_o that_o kill_v a_o lamb_n as_o if_o he_o cut_v off_o a_o dog_n head_n and_o he_o who_o burn_v incense_v as_o he_o who_o bless_v a_o idol_n

because_o they_o do_v they_o not_o in_o that_o manner_n god_n command_v therefore_o be_v they_o abominable_a to_o he_o if_o therefore_o thou_o give_v god_n the_o bulk_n of_o outward_a performance_n without_o the_o spirit_n of_o devotion_n thou_o deal_v by_o he_o as_o prometheus_n by_o jupiter_n who_o do_v eat_v the_o flesh_n and_o present_v he_o with_o nothing_o but_o bone_n cover_v over_o

that_o service_n which_o want_v the_o spirit_n as_o god_n will_n do_v command_v service_n so_o our_o will_n and_o affection_n must_v perform_v service_n though_o our_o will_n must_v be_v no_o
