imperfect_a and_o finite_a but_o when_o we_o appear_v before_o god_n and_o do_v reverence_n to_o he_o we_o must_v do_v it_o with_o apprehension_n of_o eminency_n and_o that_o such_o as_o be_v

you_o that_o which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o true_a and_o genuine_a sense_n of_o it_o 1._o some_o think_v that_o by_o spirit_n in_o this_o place_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v the_o three_o person_n

truth_n be_v to_o worship_n in_o spirit_n and_o so_o they_o will_v have_v the_o one_o to_o be_v a_o exposition_n of_o the_o other_o and_o they_o say_v to_o worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o

betwixt_o we_o then_o that_o of_o place_n which_o thou_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o and_o that_o be_v about_o the_o object_n of_o worship_n you_o worship_v you_o know_v not_o what_o
of_o worship_n but_o require_v it_o expect_v it_o and_o take_v complacency_n in_o it_o 2._o because_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n be_v more_o agreeable_a and_o suitable_a to_o his_o nature_n than_o other_o kind_n of_o worship_n sutableness_n be_v desirable_a in_o every_o thing_n and_o therefore_o shall_v not_o be_v neglect_v in_o the_o serucie_n of_o god_n as_o we_o will_v have_v he_o
