Of the kindes of bookes or writinges Thus much of the nature of bookes or writinges Now follow the kindes of bookes or the distribution of writinges writinges may bee distinguished according to the subject or efficient The subject of writinges are paper parchment wood stone metall c If writinges bee in paper or parchment they bee called bookes as may bee gathered from Deut. 31 24-26 Ierem 36.4 If writinges be ingraven in stone wood or metal it is caled graving or carving Exo. 28.11 2. Cor. 3.7 Iosh 8.32 The efficient of writinges are two God or Man God himselfe first engraved the law in tables of stone Exod. 31.18 Men are of two sortes Inspired or ordinary men Men Inspired by the Holy Ghost are the Holy Prophets Apostles who wrote the holy scriptures by inspiration 2. Pet. 1.21 2 Tim. 3.16 Rom. 1.2 namely the Hebrue of the ould testament the greeke of the new Testament The Holy Scriptures viz. the Originalls Hebrew Greek are given by Divine inspiration in their first donation were without error most perfect therefore Canonicall Ordinary men write bookes of divers kindes among the rest such as have the word of God or Holy Scriptures for their object are called Theological writinges among them Translations of the Holy Scriptures into the mother tong are cheifly to be esteemed as beeing the most principall yet only as the streame issuing from the fountayne or as the greatest river of the mayne sea No writinges of ordinary men how holy or good soever are given by inspiration therefore are subject to error imperfect so Apocrypha Chap. 8.

Cor. 12.7.10 1. Pet. 2.5 Hence it followeth that the worship that beginneth in the book or translation commeth not originally from the Spirit but from the lettre or ceremony so is not properly of the new Testament but of the Old 2. Corinth 3.6 If the translation be made by one without it commeth from a straunge fire cannot be accepted but is subject to a curse Thus much of the essential causses now follow the kinds of Spiritual worship which are 3 Praying Prophesying singing Psalmes Psal 50.14 17. 1. Cor. 11.4 14 15-17 26. Iam. 5.13 Revel 19.10 Therfor praying prophesying are joyned together as parts of worship 1. Cor. 11.4 men must be ●ncovered at both of them Likewise praying singing Psalmes are put together in the same sense 1. Cor. 14.15.17 Iam. 5.13 Act. 16.25 Finally Prophesying Psalmes are coupled together for the same purpose 1. Cor. 14.26 Prayer is the showing of our requests to God by the manifestation of the spirit Phil. ● ● Rom. 8.26.27 1 Cor. 14.15 Singing Psalmes is the shewing of our thanksgiving to God by the manifestation of the spirit Phil. 4.6 1. Cor. 14 15-17 Prophesying is the publishing of the covenant of Grace by the manifestation of the Spirit Act. 2.4.11.17.18 1 Cor. 2.4 12.7.10 Gal. 3.5 it serveth specially properly for them that beleeve 1. Cor. 14.22 Psal 50.16.17 it pleased the Holy Ghost to choose that word to signifie vnto vs that as the Prophetts by inspiration of the Holy Ghost prophesyed without bookes so must wee the difference is in this that thei● inspiration was extraordinary ours is ordinary Revel 19.10 The matter of all these 3. parts of Spiritual worship is one the same viz Gods word or the Scriptures yet handled divers●y In prayer Gods word or the Scriptures are delivered by way of petition in di●ection to God requesting things for vs optatively In thanksgiving Gods word or the Scriptures are delivered by way of recompense or ●etribution to God indic●tiv●ly or imperatively In Prophesying the word of God or the Scriptures are delivered demonstratively by way of doctryne exhortation consolation reprehension by such like formes Howsoever it be handled or delivered the matter is one the same the manner of delivering different for whithor we pray p●ophesy or sing it must be the word or scripture not out of the book but out of the hart 1.

Cor. 3.6 8.24.17 compared with Revel 10.10.11 Hence it folleweth that all book worship is Iudaisme so Antichristian therfore by consequent Idolatry now vnder the new Test●ment Thus much of the kinds of Spiritual worship of the new Testament Chap. 19. How the worship of the Old Testament did type the Spiritual worship of the new Testament The lyteral or typical worship of the Old Testament was performed in two places viz eyther in the holy place or in the court The Ceremoniall wor●hip performed in the holy place did type most properly the worship of the Church of the new Testament which was typed by the holy place Revel 11.1.2.2 Cor. 6.16 Heb. 8.2 9.11 1. Pet. 2.5 The worship of the tabernacle or holy place consisted of 3. parts 1. that which per●eyned to the brasen altar 2. that which was performed at the golden altar 3. that which concerned the table of shew bread Exod. 37. 38. compared with Exod. 29.38 Exod. 30.7 8 Levit. 24 1-9 Exod. 30 34-38 At the brasen altar were offered Sacrifices propitiatory Eucharistical Levit 1.3 7 1-11 which signified prayer for pardon of syn through Christs sactifice Heb. 10 4-14 22. thanksgiving Heb. 13.15 compared with Hose 14.3 prophesying or publishing the gospell Gail 3.1 For in Preaching Christ is as it were anatomized At the golden altar was offered the sweet perfume which signified prayer thanksgiving psal 141.2 Revel 8.3.4 by proportion Nomb. 16 46-48 Apoc. 5 8-14 preaching the gospel 2. Cor. 2 14-16 Vppō the table of shewbread was the candlestick twelve loaves of vnlevened bread with incense vppon every one of them which had this signification The Candlestick with his 7. lamps burning with oile olive continually d●est e●●ning morning by Aaron his sonnes Levit. 24 1-9 Signified that the Church which 〈◊〉 the golden Candlestick Apoc. 1.20 Zach. 4. by his seaven lamps that is the ma●●●●d gifts of the Spirit Revel 4.5 Zach. 4.6 d●est by Aaron his sonnes that is the doc●●yne of the Church being kept pure caused to thine bright by the Prophets of the chu●●● Mat. 5.14.15 nourished fed continually with oile olive that is taught dayly by the ●●●rit Zach. 4.14 Revel 11.4 doth continually give light instruction direction to a●l ●er members Psal 119.105 Mat. 5.16 2. Pet. 1.19 The shewbread with incense therevppon afterward burnt vppon the golden altar Levit. 24.7.9 Signified that the twelve tribes that is the Church continua●ly p●esent before the Lord are accepted through Christs perfume Revel 8.3.4 are fed wi●h Christ Iesus the true bread of life Ioh. 6.35 are enlightened by his word Spiritt which are the true lamps of knowledg Revel 4.5 Chap. 20. Of that which was performed in the court A● the holy place with the altar Preists did properly Signify the Church worship Saynts Revel 11.1 1. Pet. 2.5 vnder the new Testament So the cou●t without the holy place whither al the people came the typical service performed ther did signify the confused assemblies of Antichristian persecuters their ceremonial worship Revel 11 2 which the Spirit in that place caleth gentils or heathen in those respects The parts of typical service performed in the court were reading Musick whe●ein the Levites were cheef

the trans●ation offer it to God is to offer to God not he mans labor not his owne that which cost him nothing but is another mans cost therfore it is vnl●w●ull 7. Reading a translation is not commaunded nor was ever practised by Christ the Apostles or th● p●imitive Chu●ches in tyme of worship so being devised by man is in the account of vayre worship Mat. 15.9 w●ll-worship Col. 2.23 so a kynd of Idolatry therefore the translation it selfe before the eye in tyme o● worship an Idoll so hath a curse denounced against the vse of it in tyme o● worship Revel 22.18 Exod. 20.4.5 8. A translation being the worke of a mans witt learning is asmuch as truly an humane writing as the Apocrypha so commonly called writings are seing it hath not the allowance of holy men inspired but is of an hidden authority it may be justly called Apocryphon for the signification of the word importeth so much therefore not ●o be brought into the worship of God to be read 9. All the arguments vsed agaynst the reading of homilies prayers may be applyed ●gaynst the reading of translations in tyme of w●rship As 1. They do st●nt or quench the spirit which is contrary to 1. Thes 5.19.20 2 Cor. 3.17 2. They are not the pure word of God so contrary to Eccles 12.10 Mat. 15.9 3. They are the private workes of men contrary to 1. Cor 12.7.8 2 Pet. 1.20 4. They are the private openings or interpretations of the prophesies of Scripture ●ontrary to 2 pet 1.20 5. They contradict the giftes bestowed by Christ vppon the Church for the work of ●e ministery con●trary to Eph. 4.8.11.12 Act. 2.4 Ioh. 16.7 6 They derogate from the vertue of Christs Ascētion dignitie of his Kingdome con●●ary to Eph. 4.8 7. They blemish Christs bounty to care of his church contrary to Ioh. 14.16.18.26 8. They disgrace the Spirit of God setting him to schoole contrary to 1 Ioh. 2.27 9. They bring into the Church a straunge ministratiō contrary to 1. Cor. 12.5 so a new part of the gospel or covenant con●rary to Gal. 3.15 10. They do not manifest the spirit which commeth from within but manifesteth the lettre which commeth from without 2. Cor. 3.6 11. Therefore they are not spiritual worship Ioh. 4.24 compared with 2. Cor. 3 1● Gal. 5.1 4.31 12. Children may read a translation perfectly wel But children cannot perform a●● part of Spiritual worship therfor reading a translation is no part of Spiritual worship Quere whither between the parts of Spiritual worship that is between prayer prophesying singing Psalmes a man may not inte●pose the reading of a scripture or chapter not intending it as worship but as a fu●ther prepara●on to worship Chap. 15. Objections for translations answered The first Objection Rom. 4.3 What fayth the Scripture then followeth the Septuagints translation Heb. 3.7 The holy ghost faith then follow the wo●des of the Septuagints translation it is observed that the Ap●stles quote the wordes of the Septuagints translation not only wher they expound the meaning of the holy ghost as Heb. 10.5 Rom. 4.3 Wher the Apostles follow the Septuagints not the Hebrue but also in their devises besides the original as in the second Caynan Luk. 3.36.37 in the 75. persons of Iacobs Family Act. 7.24 where as ther is but one caynan 70. person● in the Hebrue Answer to the first Objection If the originals themselves are not to be vsed as helps in tyme of Spiritual worship as hath been proved then this objection is of no force ●or translations Secondly if it were of force to bring translations to be read in the tyme of worship ●t were avay leable thus far even to bring in to the tyme of worship the errors of the ●ranslations for so this objection importeth that the Apostles quote the Septuagints ●rrors wheras it is said by some that in the Apostles intention it is no error sith ●●riting to Theophilus the Grecians rather then he would haza●d their fayth by ●●aundging the Septuagints errors corre ing such an approved Translation he 〈◊〉 ought it meet to follow that receaved devise of theirs contrary to the truth the ●oly Ghost th●rein yeelding to mans infirmity as in the cases of Polyga●y Diverce 〈◊〉 fury in the Old Testament It is thus answered th●t the Holy Ghost needeth 〈◊〉 the lyes of men to work his work nor the Septuagints errors to support the fayth 〈◊〉 ●heophilus the Grecians And this mischeef followeth herevppon that rather 〈◊〉 the ●ayth of Theophilus the Grecians should be endaungered the credit o● the 〈◊〉 Scriptu●es should be hazarded their being found in then such devises errors and c●●●radictions And further it is t●e thing by connivency to passe by sinne ●s wa● the co●●●ation of Polygamy Divo●ce Vsu●y See Act. 17.30 Another thing to translate 〈◊〉 from a translation into thē original which is to approve them this whosoever affirmeth speaketh litle lesse then blasphemy Thirdly therfor as Antiehrist hath polluted all Gods ordinances so hath he violated the original criptures And therfor one Caynan must be put out For so me auncient copies have it not for 75. Ther must be read seaventy all Pente for Pantes as Rom. 12.11 Kairo Kurio it is possible easily to mistake so small a matter in copying out any thing as experience teacheth Lastly fully to answer the objection whatsoever is good in the Septuagints translation was taken out of the New Testament auncient Fathers of the Greek Church For it is manifest by historyes that the Septuagints translation is lost this that goeth vnder the name of the Septuagint is a patchery made out of auncient writings and therfor the Holy Ghost doth not ayme at the Septuagints Translation at all as is imported in the Objection The second Objection The were Greekes Grecians Hellenes Kai Hellenistai As may appeare Act. 6. 1. Rom. 1.16 The Greekes were of the Progeny of the Greekes aswel as of the country The Grecians were Iewes by Progeny borne in Grecia Therfor Paull calleth himself an Hebrew of the Hebrewes Philip 3 5. Now these Grecians had forgotten their Language spake Greek only And having Synagogues in the Cities where they dwelt h●d the Septuagints translation read vnto them the Apostles comming into their Synagogues did approve that act of thei●s of reading the translation so it followeth that reading translations is lawfull in worship Answer to the second Objection The distiction of Greekes Grecians is vayne as appeareth by these places compated together Act. 21.39 18.2.24 with Act. 6.1 Philip. 3.5 For Paul was borne at Tarsus in Cilicia Aquila at Pontus Apollos at Alexandria And yet are all called Iewes not Hellenists or Grecians Act. 6.1 The Helenists murmured against the Hebrues the Helenists did vnderstand the Hebrue tong had not forgotten

comming it was vnlawful to translate the Holy Originals from their ceremonial tong into any vulgar mother tong yet the partition wall being now broken downe translations are lawful that for these reasons Math. 28. Christ commaundeth to goe teach all nations therfor all nations may have the Holy Scriptures translated into their owne vernacular tong that therby they may learne the truth The Scriptures are a Creature or ordinance of God therfor as it is lawful to picture a man a byrd a fish a fowle an angel vertue or vice so is ir lawful to picture out or resemble the Hebrue Greek original Scriptures by any vulgar translation of any tong or Language whatsoever Againe as God sent the confusion of tongs as a curse Genes 11.6.7 so hath he sent the knowledg of the tongs as a blessing Act. 2.6.8 bicause the extraordinary knowledg of the tong is ceased the ordinary knowledg of them is left for our vse which can never be attayned vnto but by grammars dictionaryes whe●in the Hebrue words of the old Testament Greek of the new Testament are interpreted if it be lawfull to expresse in our owne tong al the Hebrue Greek words singly as in Grammars Dictionarves then it is lawful so to doe with thē al joyntly in syntaxe that is a translation whece it foloweth that translations of the holy scriptures are lawful necessary Further All the members of the Church cannot possiblie attayne the knowledg of the tongs which notwithstanding they must endevour to their vtmost 1 Cor. 14.1.5 seing the Holy Ghost hath commaunded al to try search read 1. Thes 5.21 Ioh. ● 39 Colos 4.16 all cannot trye search or read the originals they must needes have translations other Theological writings for their better help to the true vnderstanding of the original Scriptures Lastly these places of scripture compared together are sufficient warrant for the law fulnes of translations Mat. 1.23 Marc 5.41 1. Cor. 14 27. Now further wee have the translations of Holy Scripture in this account viz The translation agreable to the originals 1. Is a secondary Scripture yet much inferior to the originals 2. It may be read in the Church sung in times 3. It may be expounded in the Church 4. It may be so vsed as a meanes to prepare vs to spiritual worship 5. That the matter of the translation agreable to the originals is inspired but not the writing or character 6. That it may be made the ground of our fayth 7. That it may be made an instrument to trye doctryne by This wee hold affirmatively Negatively wee hold thus ● That reading the English translatinon is no part of the spiritual worship of the new Testament properly so called viz o● prayer prophesy singing of Psalmes ● That reading the English translation is no lawful meanes or help in tyme of Spiri●●al worship 3 That the worship of the New Testament must not beginne in the book or lettre outwardly but must proceed originally from the hart Spirit Al other publique private vses of translations wee allow Chap. 17. Concerning the vse of the translations for the hearers Hitherto aperteyneth another question whither the hearers may have their translations or the originals to read or search in tyme of prophesy The answer is Negative that it is not lawful for these reasons First the Prophets Apostles wrote bookes but did never devide their bookes int● chapters or verses Henry Stephen first made the verses of the new Testament Seing therfor that chapter verse were of mans invention hence it followeth before chapter verse came in the hearers could not turne to search their bookes in tyme of hearing Secondly the Apostles in quoting testimonyes of the Prophets doe not quote chapter verse but only say it is written by Zachary by Ieremy The Scripture saith The Holy Ghost saith c. Therby teaching vs that there is no vse of Chapter and verse for searching in tyme of hearing For no doubt they preached as they wrote Thirdly never was ther any mention made of any hearer that ever had his booke to search in tyme of hearing Fourthly Searching quotations hindereth attention for the mynd affections are distracted from hearing by seeking the places seing the mynd hart should follow ●he voyce of the speaker as in prayer so also in Prophefying Nehem. 8.3 Lastly manuscripts being few very deere large ther being yet no printing found out all could not have or bring their bookes but there is only one kind of true profitable hearing eyther all to have bookes and search or none to have them Seing therfor bringing bookes searching them in tyme of hearing was not from the beginning Therfor that also is a part of the mystery of iniquity in hearing the word Chap. 18. Of the nature of essence of Spiritual worship the essentiall causses kinds thereo Thus much concerning the helps of Spirituall wor●hip Now followeth to be considered the nature or essence thereof which may appeare in two particulars viz First in the essentiall causses of Spiritual worship Secondly in the proper kinds or parrs of the worship of the new Testament The essentiall causses of Spiritual worship are the matter and the so●●●● The matter of Gods worship is the holy Scriptu●es which cont●●neth the word o● God or the Gospel the subject whereof is Christ Iesus The forme or soule that quickeneth it is the Spirit Colos 3.16 compared with Eph. 5.18.19.20 This may be illustrated by the ceremoniall worship of the Old Testament the essentiall causses thereof The matter of the ceremonial worship of the Old Testament was the beasts incense Oyle fatt corne wine the like Creatures wherof the sacrifices offerings perfumes lampes bread were made with al the actions therto aperteyning Proportionable hereto is the matter of our spiritual worship Christ Iesus his merits the word of God conteyned in the Scriptures which offereth Christ Iesus vnto vs the seales of the covenant with all the actions therto aperteyning The form of the ceremonial worship of the Old Testament consisting in Sacrifices besides the manner of doing appeared in 4. things two wherof must be absent for the most part viz honey leaven two must alwayes be present fire salt Marc 9.49 compared with Leuit. 2.11.13 9.24 1. Cor. 5.6 -8. Proportionable herevnto the forme of our Spiritual worship consisteth in the fire of the Spirit working with the word Act. 2.3.4 Mat. 3.11 Luk. 12.49 50. 24.32 2. Tim. 2.6.7 Ierem. 23.29 In the salt of sound doctryne grace Mat. 5.13 Colos 4.6 In the vnleavened bread of synce●ity truth 1. Cor. 5.8 which was also signified by absence of honey which hath a faculty to leaven As the fire came downe from heaven whe●with the sacrifices were off●red Ievit 9.24 So the holy Ghost like fire came downe vppon the primitive Church to make their Spiritual sacrifices
