not_o so_o much_o as_o once_o have_v mention_v the_o name_n of_o jesus_n in_o his_o definition_n of_o worship_v god_n by_o the_o spirit_n i_o suppose_v he_o will_v be_v very_o angry_a at_o those_o

that_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n must_v necessary_o infer_v the_o worship_v of_o he_o according_a to_o the_o direction_n of_o his_o own_o spirit_n in_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n without_o which_o all_o those_o impression_n of_o his_o majesty_n power_n rule_n and_o wisdom_n that_o he_o talk_v of_o signify_v nothing_o the_o heathen_n have_v express_v themselves_o to_o admiration_n on_o all_o these_o attribute_n and_o yet_o we_o can_v say_v that_o they_o worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n because_o it_o be_v not_o according_a to_o his_o reveal_v will_n they_o worship_v they_o know_v not_o what_o as_o our_o saviour_n here_o tell_v the_o samaritan_n woman_n he_o go_v on_o thus_o page_z 10_o that_o h●ving_v once_o this_o true_a notion_n of_o the_o almighty_a we_o ex●rt_v ourselves_o in_o

he_o say_v that_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o his_o worship_n ought_v to_o deduce_v its_o source_n from_o the_o reason_n and_o soul_n of_o man._n and_o in_o the_o 1●th_n page_z that_o if_o worship_n take_v its_o rise_n from_o the_o heart_n then_o be_v it_o a_o spiritual_a worship_n and_o this_o he_o take_v to_o be_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o worship_v in_o spirit_n it_o be_v well_o he_o do_v but_o take_v it_o but_o i_o think_v it_o be_v plain_a from_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v he_o mistake_v it_o for_o all_o this_o while_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o cato_n in_o his_o distich_n beforenamed_n have_v as_o true_a a_o notion_n of_o spiritual_a worship_n as_o mr._n oliver_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v make_v bold_a to_o tell_v he_o that_o if_o he_o do_v make_v

but_o i_o be_o afraid_a he_o have_v already_o spoil_v his_o lawn_n sleeve_n during_o this_o reign_n whatever_o hope_n he_o may_v have_v in_o another_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v whether_o by_o part_n of_o his_o own_o definition_n of_o spiritual_a worship_n he_o have_v not_o exclude_v himself_o from_o the_o number_n of_o spiritual_a worshipper_n by_o fail_v in_o his_o obedience_n to_o authority_n
