a_o minister_n about_o holy_a thing_n or_o one_o that_o attend_v about_o holy_a service_n 33.21_o neh._n 10.36_o esay_n 61.6_o jer._n 33.21_o and_o therefore_o scripture_n itself_o give_v this_o interpretation_n of_o their_o name_n in_o very_a many_o place_n for_o though_o there_o be_v diverse_a office_n in_o the_o jewish_a hierarchy_n as_o the_o highpriest_n the_o priest_n the_o levite_n nethemims_n porter_n singer_n etc._n etc._n yet_o be_v they_o all_o minister_n about_o holy_a thing_n though_o some_o in_o a_o high_a other_o in_o a_o low_a rank_n for_o the_o levite_n minister_v immediate_o to_o the_o priest_n the_o priest_n to_o the_o high_a priest_n and_o he_o immediate_o to_o god_n as_o in_o our_o church_n the_o deacon_n who_o name_n signify_v a_o minister_n minister_n to_o the_o priest_n and_o the_o priest_n immediate_o to_o god_n therefore_o priest_n levite_n 7.24_o ezr._n 7.24_o nethemims_n etc._n etc._n be_v all_o sum_v up_o in_o this_o name_n of_o minister_n see_v joel_n 1.9_o and_o 13._o where_o they_o be_v all_o call_v minister_n of_o the_o altar_n so_o joel_n 2._o ezech._n 46.24_o etc._n etc._n thus_o you_o see_v what_o the_o hebrew_n word_n signify_v which_o we_o turn_v priest_n and_o what_o the_o greek_a word_n priest_n signify_v which_o we_o will_v not_o have_v the_o clergy_n call_v by_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v the_o very_a word_n give_v they_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o new-testament_n viz._n elder_n now_o i_o pray_v priest_n the_o dignity_n of_o the_o priest_n if_o they_o who_o wait_v on_o the_o altar_n be_v call_v minister_n of_o god_n or_o of_o the_o sanctuary_n or_o of_o the_o holy_a thing_n why_o may_v not_o we_o of_o the_o gospel_n be_v so_o call_v that_o be_v priests_z for_o that_o the_o interpreter_n mean_v when_o they_o translate_v the_o hebrew_n cohen_n which_o word_n likewise_o signify_v a_o prince_n to_o intimate_v the_o great_a dignity_n of_o that_o function_n which_o consist_v in_o minister_a unto_o god_n about_o holy_a thing_n and_o of_o no_o less_o dignity_n be_v the_o word_n priest_n or_o elder_n and_o therefore_o these_o term_n be_v premiscuous_o give_v to_o the_o jewish_a clergy_n and_o a_o elder_a with_o they_o sometime_o signify_v a_o prince_n so_o the_o elder_n of_o the_o people_n of_o the_o city_n of_o the_o congregation_n signify_v ruler_n and_o governor_n to_o be_v god_n minister_n be_v to_o be_v the_o people_n elder_n 6._o we_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n not_o man_n 2_o cor._n 6._o 4._o 1_o cor._n 4._o 1._o 2_o cor._n 3._o 6._o rom._n 13._o 6._o for_o we_o be_v not_o the_o minister_n of_o man_n but_o of_o god_n and_o so_o we_o be_v style_v minister_n of_o christ_n minister_n of_o the_o spirit_n god_n and_o christ_n set_v we_o on_o work_n he_o send_v we_o forth_o to_o he_o we_o minister_v though_o for_o you_o when_o we_o administer_v the_o holy_a word_n the_o sacrament_n we_o be_v not_o therein_o your_o minister_n but_o his_o dispenser_n or_o steward_n for_o we_o do_v it_o not_o at_o your_o appointment_n or_o command_n or_o by_o your_o authority_n but_o by_o god_n from_o who_o we_o have_v our_o call_v and_o commission_n as_o the_o king_n be_v not_o his_o subject_n minister_n though_o he_o do_v administer_v justice_n to_o they_o and_o therefore_o he_o be_v call_v god_n minister_n angel_n likewise_o minister_a spirit_n to_o god_n even_o then_o when_o they_o be_v send_v out_o for_o the_o good_a of_o they_o who_o shall_v be_v heir_n of_o salvation_n 104.4_o psal_n 103.21_o 104.4_o for_o though_o the_o material_a object_n of_o their_o ministry_n or_o that_o whereabout_o their_o ministry_n be_v conversant_a be_v man_n yet_o the_o formal_a object_n or_o he_o in_o reference_n to_o who_o this_o ministry_n be_v execute_v be_v god_n hence_o you_o priest_n you_o minister_n of_o his_o that_o do_v his_o pleasure_n and_o he_o make_v his_o minister_n a_o flame_n and_o daniel_n say_v of_o they_o thousand_o thousand_o minister_v unto_o they_o thus_o you_o see_v then_o who_o minister_n we_o be_v god_n 1.10_o dan._n 1.10_o not_o mens_fw-la second_o what_o a_o dignity_n this_o be_v it_o be_v no_o less_o than_o what_o be_v attribute_v to_o king_n and_o angel_n you_o see_v likewise_o that_o what_o the_o interpreter_n translate_v priest_n signify_v that_o which_o you_o call_v we_o minister_n and_o the_o execute_n of_o their_o office_n minister_a or_o ministration_n as_o also_o that_o the_o word_n elder_a 1.23_o luk._n 1.23_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n call_v we_o by_o be_v all_o one_o with_o the_o word_n priest_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o be_v so_o much_o against_o the_o jewish_a term_n you_o shall_v rather_o call_v we_o priest_n than_o minister_n but_o indeed_o we_o be_v both_o and_o the_o holy_a scripture_n use_v both_o word_n promiscuous_o as_o well_o in_o the_o old_a as_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o we_o be_v elder_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o people_n minister_n in_o respect_n of_o god_n and_o we_o minister_v to_o god_n about_o holy_a thing_n unless_o you_o will_v say_v that_o our_o gospel_n be_v not_o so_o holy_a as_o their_o law_n our_o preach_v as_o their_o expound_v our_o prayer_n and_o service_n and_o sacrament_n wherein_o be_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v not_o as_o holy_a as_o their_o incense_n oblation_n and_o sacrifice_n for_o about_o these_o thing_n be_v our_o minister_n conversant_a now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o main_a question_n concern_v adoration_n or_o worship_n of_o god_n before_o or_o towards_o the_o altar_n in_o our_o ingress_n into_o his_o house_n or_o at_o any_o other_o time_n when_o we_o shall_v approach_v thereunto_o where_o first_o i_o will_v show_v you_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o adoration_n or_o worship_n second_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o house_n of_o god_n 1._o by_o worship_n worship_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o worship_n i_o do_v not_o understand_v here_o in_o the_o latitude_n of_o the_o word_n the_o whole_a act_n of_o religion_n the_o whole_a duty_n of_o man_n which_o sometime_o be_v general_o so_o call_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n the_o fear_n of_o god_n nor_o yet_o only_a or_o primary_o the_o inward_a reverence_n and_o devotion_n of_o the_o heart_n but_o in_o special_a the_o outward_a expression_n of_o reverence_n and_o humility_n in_o the_o posture_n or_o gesture_n of_o the_o body_n not_o exclude_v but_o imply_v the_o inward_a worship_v of_o the_o mind_n in_o this_o sense_n the_o word_n be_v often_o take_v in_o holy_a scripture_n as_o in_o the_o second_o commandment_n thou_o shall_v not_o bow_v down_o to_o they_o 19.10_o gen._n 24_o 26.48.5_o rev._n 19.10_o nor_o worship_n they_o so_o saint_n john_n fall_v at_o the_o angel_n foot_n to_o worship_n he_o but_o the_o angel_n refuse_v it_o and_o bid_v he_o worship_n god_n that_o be_v give_v the_o outward_a worship_n that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v to_o he_o to_o god_n to_o who_o alone_o it_o be_v due_a for_o have_v not_o the_o outward_a worship_n be_v a_o act_n of_o religion_n in_o regard_n of_o saint_n john_n intention_n and_o inward_a reverence_n the_o angel_n need_v not_o to_o have_v refuse_v it_o for_o outward_a worship_n if_o it_o be_v only_o civil_a be_v such_o as_o one_o man_n may_v give_v to_o another_o a_o subject_a to_o his_o prince_n much_o more_o to_o a_o angel_n you_o see_v then_o the_o holy_a scripture_n by_o the_o name_n of_o worship_n do_v oftentimes_o mean_a in_o special_a the_o outward_a adoration_n of_o the_o body_n in_o visible_a gesture_n and_o so_o do_v i_o here_o now_o this_o act_n of_o outward_a worship_n i_o make_v a_o part_n of_o religion_n which_o that_o you_o may_v the_o better_o conceive_v i_o will_v tell_v you_o the_o nature_n and_o part_n thereof_o for_o it_o be_v not_o general_o believe_v that_o outward_a worship_n be_v due_a unto_o god_n and_o consequent_o that_o it_o be_v part_n of_o religion_n religion_n part_n religion_n the_o nature_n and_o part_n which_o be_v derive_v from_o a_o word_n that_o signify_v bind_v imply_v three_o thing_n 1._o a_o act_n of_o duty_n 2._o the_o object_n of_o that_o act_n god_n 3._o the_o bond_n or_o tye_n impose_v upon_o we_o for_o the_o performance_n of_o such_o a_o duty_n to_o such_o a_o object_n the_o object_n of_o religion_n be_v god_n most_o infinite_a most_o glorious_a most_o excellent_a and_o perfect_a and_o therefore_o our_o act_n of_o duty_n in_o reference_n to_o such_o a_o object_n aught_o to_o have_v three_o property_n it_o property_n property_n of_o it_o 1._o it_o must_v be_v a_o universal_a act_n or_o act_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n
