for_o this_o great_a witness_n which_o here_o you_o bring_v in_o array_v in_o capital_a letter_n to_o wit_n your_o external_a will-worship_n in_o many_o devise_a ceremony_n of_o seem_a humility_n

set_v up_o priest_n to_o serve_v at_o they_o to_o which_o you_o must_v needs_o add_v a_o sacrifice_n suitable_a some_o material_a and_o corporal_a thing_n hereby_o we_o come_v to_o know_v how_o in_o

that_o altar_n which_o you_o bow_v unto_o worship_n god_n who_o have_v require_v such_o worship_n at_o your_o hand_n nay_o have_v not_o god_n in_o the_o second_o commandment_n express_o forbid_v any_o

to_o our_o god_n and_o without_o which_o what_o light_n have_v we_o leave_v whereby_o man_n may_v see_v our_o devotion_n and_o such_o also_o be_v the_o devotion_n of_o hypocrite_n of_o who_o christ_n

for_o pretence_n make_v long_a prayer_n may_v not_o they_o also_o have_v say_v as_o you_o this_o our_o external_a worship_n in_o long_a prayer_n in_o our_o solemn_a robe_n with_o goodly_a boarder_n be_v the_o great_a witness_n to_o the_o world_n that_o our_o heart_n stand_v right_a and_o without_o this_o light_a man_n can_v
not_o see_v our_o inward_a devotion_n towards_o god_n and_o say_v not_o you_o our_o external_a worship_n be_v that_o light_n without_o which_o man_n can_v not_o see_v our_o devotion_n just_o as_o the_o pharisee_n 23.5_o all_o they_o do_v be_v to_o be_v see_v of_o man_n but_o you_o will_v persuade_v we_o you_o do_v it_o to_o a_o high_a end_n which_o be_v god_n glory_n for_o you_o say_v

your_o devotion_n for_o else_o it_o be_v not_o worth_a a_o rush_n second_o that_o they_o may_v glorify_v god_n as_o i_o note_v before_o these_o word_n of_o christ_n you_o false_o apply_v to_o your_o blind_a devotion_n which_o he_o speak_v concern_v the_o light_n of_o faith_n shine_v forth_o in_o good_a work_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n whereas_o your_o external_a worship_n as_o it_o be_v a_o fruit_n of_o your_o blind_a devotion_n so_o it_o be_v that_o whereby_o god_n be_v great_o dishonour_v and_o that_o both_o actual_o in_o itself_o and_o effectual_o in_o the_o beholder_n first_o actual_o in_o itself_o all_o false_a worship_n or_o will-worship_n for_o both_o be_v one_o be_v a_o dishonour_n to_o god_n 15.9_o in_o vain_a they_o worship_v i_o teach_v for_o doctrine_n the_o precept_n of_o men._n now_o god_n be_v not_o glorify_v or_o honour_v with_o any_o vain_a worship_n nay_o on_o the_o contrary_a he_o be_v great_o dishonour_v by_o it_o for_o such_o will-worship_n be_v a_o high_a presumption_n derogate_a from_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n who_o will_v be_v worship_a no_o otherwise_o then_o as_o himself_o have_v express_o command_v in_o his_o word_n as_o the_o prophet_n say_v and_o shall_v honour_v he_o not_o do_v thy_o own_o way_n nor_o find_v thy_o own_o pleasure_n and_o such_o be_v all_o will-worship_n second_o god_n be_v great_o dishonour_v by_o such_o external_a will-worship_n effective_o in_o the_o beholder_n first_o because_o when_o they_o see_v such_o a_o great_a prelate_n as_o yourself_o use_v such_o gesture_n in_o god_n service_n they_o be_v apt_a to_o imitate_v you_o and_o so_o to_o partake_v of_o your_o sin_n as_o too_o many_o do_v second_o because_o in_o such_o false_a worship_n the_o near_o they_o think_v to_o 29.13_o approach_v to_o god_n in_o imitate_v of_o you_o the_o further_a off_o their_o heart_n be_v from_o god_n as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v and_o they_o who_o heart_n be_v far_o remove_v from_o god_n can_v glorify_v god_n now_o your_o will-worship_n which_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o precept_n of_o man_n though_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v very_o humble_a and_o so_o to_o draw_v near_o unto_o god_n yet_o it_o draw_v away_o man_n heart_n far_o from_o god_n as_o there_o the_o prophet_n show_v and_o such_o as_o behold_v and_o affect_v and_o imitate_v your_o devise_n in_o external_a worship_n they_o be_v as_o much_o puff_v up_o with_o vainglory_n that_o they_o imitate_v and_o so_o please_v such_o a_o great_a man_n as_o yourself_o as_o they_o never_o think_v of_o glorify_v god_n and_o last_o god_n be_v not_o glorify_v by_o blind_a and_o superstitious_a worshipper_n but_o by_o good_a work_n spring_v from_o the_o inward_a light_n of_o faith_n now_o your_o blind_a devotion_n be_v not_o to_o be_v reckon_v and_o rank_v among_o good_a work_n for_o good_a work_n be_v such_o and_o so_o do_v as_o god_n have_v command_v but_o your_o external_a worship_n as_o you_o call_v it_o be_v a_o will-worship_n and_o so_o a_o false_a worship_n which_o god_n no_o where_o have_v command_v but_o every_o where_o express_o forbid_v be_v no_o good_a work_n but_o as_o aug._n say_v splendida_fw-la peccata_fw-la a_o glare_a false_a
