he_o can_v but_o do_v it_o in_o the_o outward_a man_n man_n respect_v more_o the_o outward_a than_o the_o inward_a but_o god_n respect_v more_o the_o inward_a than_o the_o outward_a if_o a_o man_n worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n though_o he_o be_v hinder_v in_o the_o outward_a by_o occasion_n god_n will_v excuse_v it_o god_n never_o excuse_v a_o man_n for_o the_o want_n of_o inward_a affection_n but_o have_v oftentimes_o take_v the_o inward_a when_o the_o outward_a have_v be_v want_v s._n gregory_n say_v there_o be_v this_o difference_n between_o god_n and_o man_n man_n require_v the_o

or_o sing_v of_o psalm_n who_o have_v thou_o to_o deal_v withal_o with_o god_n who_o be_v a_o spirit_n then_o thy_o worship_n must_v be_v spiritual_a if_o thou_o have_v a_o mouth_n to_o speak_v to_o
