that_o be_v only_o ritual_a and_o ceremonial_a hose_n 6._o he_o tell_v they_o v_o 5._o that_o he_o have_v hew_v they_o by_o the_o prophet_n and_o every_o stroke_n be_v to_o cut_v down_o this_o fleshly_a confidence_n of_o they_o that_o they_o place_v in_o their_o sacrifice_n whilst_o they_o neglect_v the_o other_o substantial_a duty_n of_o religion_n v_o 6._o for_o i_o desire_v mercy_n and_o

when_o jesus_n see_v that_o he_o answer_v discreet_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o thou_o be_v not_o far_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o now_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o branch_n of_o the_o demonstration_n 11._o to_o show_v the_o necessity_n of_o practical_a obedience_n in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o duty_n of_o divine_a worship_n for_o a_o people_n to_o attend_v unto_o that_o will_v have_v the_o anger_n of_o god_n appease_v to_o they_o and_o because_o the_o text_n furnish_v we_o with_o sufficient_a matter_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v present_v you_o with_o

the_o lord_n require_v which_o lay_v we_o under_o a_o indispensible_a obligation_n to_o attend_v thereunto_o 3._o that_o this_o god_n have_v be_v please_v to_o show_v and_o reveal_v to_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o be_v inexcusable_a if_o we_o live_v in_o a_o neglect_n of_o it_o 1._o the_o necessity_n of_o practical_a obedience_n in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o duty_n of_o divine_a worship_n

and_o what_o a_o attractive_a be_v this_o to_o come_v up_o to_o our_o duty_n that_o be_v so_o good_a in_o the_o whole_a and_o good_a in_o every_o part_n of_o it_o these_o thing_n be_v good_a in_o
