builder_n i_o have_v lay_v the_o foundation_n it_o have_v be_v observe_v that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o wisdom_n and_o heavenly_a skill_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o lay_v a_o right_n and_o good_a foundation_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o hearer_n what_o principle_n be_v in_o any_o art_n or_o science_n the_o same_o be_v a_o foundation_n in_o matter_n of_o

all_o the_o building_n will_v prove_v no_o better_o you_o have_v hear_v of_o a_o fourfold_a foundation_n upon_o which_o this_o spiritual_a building_n be_v fix_v a_o foundation_n of_o faith_n or_o

the_o foundation_n of_o god_n worship_n for_o as_o their_o be_v heresy_n and_o false_a doctrine_n which_o over_o throw_v the_o sound_a faith_n so_o there_o be_v idolatry_n and_o superstition_n which_o destroy_v the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v at_o this_o time_n therefore_o show_v you_o how_o necessary_a it_o be_v for_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o lay_v a_o sure_a and_o right_a foundation_n about_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o 1._o we_o shall_v show_v the_o necessity_n contrary_n 2._o what_o be_v the_o foundation_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o lay_v good_a principle_n here_o first_o because_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n do_v ordinary_o more_o provoke_v god_n than_o the_o corrupt_a of_o his_o worship_n the_o glorious_a eye_n of_o god_n have_v not_o sparkle_v more_o with_o vengeance_n against_o any_o person_n than_o those_o that_o have_v defile_v themselves_o in_o sinful_a worship_n now_o three_o way_n god_n may_v be_v provoke_v about_o his_o worship_n way_n 1._o when_o we_o adore_v and_o worship_v a_o false_a god_n instead_o of_o he_o thus_o all_o the_o heathen_n that_o worship_v the_o sun_n or_o the_o star_n and_o other_o creature_n they_o be_v guilty_a of_o gross_a idolatry_n so_o the_o jew_n when_o they_o worship_v baal-berith_a baal-phegor_a and_o dagon_n and_o ashtaroth_n they_o do_v point_n blank_a thwart_o the_o first_o commandment_n thou_o shall_v have_v no_o other_o god_n before_o i_o 2._o god_n worship_n be_v corrupt_v when_o we_o do_v indeed_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n but_o not_o by_o such_o mean_n and_o way_n of_o worship_n as_o he_o have_v appoint_v but_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o we_o in_o our_o imagination_n think_v best_a this_o god_n often_o do_v caution_n against_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o go_v after_o the_o the_o imagination_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n thus_o they_o set_v up_o grove_n and_o high_a place_n thus_o jeroboam_n make_v a_o golden_a calf_n they_o intend_v the_o solemn_a worship_n of_o the_o true_a god_n but_o only_o they_o forsake_v the_o true_a manner_n of_o worship_n he_o have_v command_v 3._o then_o be_v god_n worship_n corrupt_v when_o though_o we_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n after_o the_o true_a manner_n yet_o we_o add_v something_o to_o what_o be_v command_v we_o rest_v not_o in_o his_o simple_a institution_n but_o as_o eve_n add_v to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n so_o do_v these_o thus_o the_o pharisee_n they_o retain_v the_o substantial_a worship_n of_o god_n but_o then_o they_o add_v a_o thousand_o of_o superstitious_a observation_n more_o to_o it_o now_o the_o corrupt_a of_o god_n worship_n any_o of_o these_o way_n be_v a_o grievous_a sin_n for_o though_o the_o first_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n than_o the_o second_o and_o the_o second_o than_o the_o three_o yet_o all_o of_o they_o be_v such_o as_o be_v immediate_o commit_v against_o god_n and_o for_o which_o the_o prophet_n do_v chief_o pronounce_v those_o judgement_n threaten_v by_o they_o for_o this_o sin_n jerusalem_n be_v bring_v low_a and_o the_o temple_n have_v no_o more_o a_o stone_n leave_v upon_o a_o stone_n the_o jew_n to_o this_o day_n be_v so_o sensible_a of_o it_o church_n that_o of_o all_o sin_n they_o take_v heed_n of_o this_o idolatry_n second_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o lay_v a_o good_a foundation_n in_o this_o because_o this_o sin_n do_v either_o immediate_o break_v the_o spiritual_a union_n between_o the_o church_n and_o god_n or_o else_o much_o dispose_v thereunto_o the_o prophet_n ezekiel_n and_o the_o ●est_n do_v frequent_o delight_v to_o express_v the_o sin_n of_o idolatry_n by_o adultery_n and_o go_v a_o whore_v after_o our_o imagination_n and_o when_o the_o apostle_n be_v careful_a to_o lay_v a_o good_a foundation_n here_o among_o the_o corinthian_n in_o this_o matter_n of_o worship_n see_v what_o he_o say_v his_o care_n be_v to_o present_v they_o a_o pure_a virgin_n to_o christ_n 2_o cor._n 11.1_o 2._o he_o be_v afraid_a they_o shall_v be_v corrupt_v from_o the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o then_o idolatry_n and_o superstition_n they_o be_v adultery_n and_o fornication_n now_o as_o adultery_n do_v dissolve_v the_o marriage_n bond_n and_o may_v just_o provoke_v the_o husband_n to_o be_v no_o more_o a_o husband_n so_o it_o be_v in_o matter_n of_o worship_n it_o be_v true_a all_o superstitious_a worship_n do_v not_o present_o rise_v to_o such_o a_o height_n many_o sound_a church_n have_v retain_v some_o superstitious_a worship_n yet_o as_o wanton_a dalliance_n and_o meretricious_a behaviour_n in_o a_o wise_a though_o they_o do_v not_o break_v the_o conjugal_a knot_n yet_o dispose_v thereunto_o and_o raise_v much_o jealousy_n and_o anger_n in_o the_o husband_n so_o it_o do_v in_o matter_n of_o god_n worship_n oh_o then_o how_o careful_a shall_v people_n be_v to_o see_v they_o go_v upon_o right_a ground_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n devil_n three_o we_o have_v need_n be_v careful_a because_o god_n be_v so_o far_o from_o accept_v of_o that_o worship_n which_o he_o have_v not_o command_v that_o he_o account_v it_o as_o do_v to_o devil_n and_o not_o to_o he_o though_o those_o that_o worship_n so_o think_v they_o honour_v god_n and_o have_v a_o good_a intention_n yet_o god_n judge_v it_o as_o do_v to_o devil_n not_o to_o he_o so_o be_v jeroboam'_v worship_n he_o do_v not_o forsake_v the_o true_a god_n he_o set_v up_o that_o worship_n only_o out_o of_o politic_a design_n and_o certain_o the_o people_n that_o go_v in_o the_o ignorance_n of_o their_o spirit_n little_a thought_n to_o give_v worship_n to_o the_o devil_n thereby_o yet_o say_v the_o text_n jeroboam_n set_v up_o this_o worship_n to_o the_o devil_n 2_o chron._n 11.6_o so_o these_o very_a corinthian_n 1_o cor._n 10.21_o who_o will_v go_v to_o the_o heathen_a corinthian_n feast_n and_o communicate_v with_o they_o in_o that_o worship_n though_o they_o think_v they_o may_v lawful_o do_v it_o and_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o charity_n and_o good_a society_n yet_o the_o apostle_n say_v they_o do_v drink_v of_o the_o cup_n of_o devil_n oh_o then_o how_o shall_v thou_o be_v like_o ezekiel_n live_v creature_n full_a of_o eye_n behind_o and_o before_o of_o heavenly_a wisdom_n lest_o thou_o worship_v devil_n instead_o of_o god_n worship_n four_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o lay_v a_o good_a foundation_n because_o our_o heart_n do_v in_o nothing_o more_o presumptuous_o work_v then_o in_o the_o

worship_n of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o secret_a delight_n and_o pleasure_n man_n have_v to_o make_v a_o worship_n of_o their_o own_o as_o child_n have_v to_o make_v baby_n the_o scripture_n fore_o seethe_v this_o and_o therefore_o do_v so_o often_o bid_v man_n take_v heed_n and_o they_o must_v not_o follow_v their_o own_o heart_n and_o they_o must_v not_o go_v in_o the_o way_n they_o shall_v choose_v and_o they_o must_v not_o do_v what_o seem_v good_a in_o their_o own_o eye_n these_o strict_a prohibition_n do_v suppose_v a_o itch_a inclination_n in_o man_n to_o make_v a_o worship_n of_o their_o own_o and_o the_o several_a age_n of_o the_o church_n have_v give_v sad_a experience_n of_o this_o sin_n the_o church_n which_o have_v at_o first_o a_o simple_a plain_a and_o spiritual_a worship_n of_o god_n become_v to_o abound_v more_o in_o external_a ceremony_n than_o the_o jew_n as_o austin_n in_o his_o time_n complain_v if_o then_o it_o be_v so_o dangerous_a to_o err_v about_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n what_o be_v that_o sure_a and_o steadfast_a foundation_n which_o both_o minister_n and_o people_n must_v build_v upon_o and_o that_o be_v only_o the_o command_n and_o
