difference_n that_o the_o jewish_a worship_n be_v in_o type_n and_o figure_n and_o ceremony_n the_o christian_a worship_n in_o truth_n and_o substance_n and_o therefore_o if_o this_o legal_a and_o evangelical_n worship_n be_v the_o same_o it_o must_v have_v the_o some_o object_n for_o the_o object_n be_v the_o most_o essential_a part_n of_o worship_n so_o that_o if_o it_o appear_v not_o only_o from_o the_o express_a letter_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n but_o from_o all_o the_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o law_n that_o god_n only_o be_v to_o be_v worship_v by_o the_o jewish_a church_n if_o christ_n be_v to_o fulfil_v all_o these_o type_n and_o figure_n in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o in_o the_o evangelical_n worship_n than_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o object_n of_o our_o worship_n must_v be_v the_o same_o still_o for_o if_o the_o type_n be_v confine_v in_o its_o nature_n and_o signification_n to_o the_o worship_n of_o one_o god_n than_o the_o whole_a christian_a worship_n which_o be_v signify_v and_o praesigure_v by_o these_o type_n must_v be_v peculiar_a and_o appropriate_a to_o the_o same_o one_o supreme_a god_n as_o for_o instance_n i_o have_v already_o prove_v at_o large_a that_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o worship_v but_o one_o god_n because_o they_o have_v but_o one_o temple_n to_o worship_n in_o and_o all_o their_o worship_n have_v some_o relation_n or_o other_o to_o this_o one_o temple_n and_o therefore_o all_o their_o worship_n be_v appropriate_v to_o that_o one_o god_n who_o temple_n it_o be_v now_o we_o know_v god_n dwel_v in_o the_o temple_n at_o jerusalem_n be_v only_o a_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o god_n dwell_v in_o humane_a nature_n upon_o which_o account_n christ_n call_v his_o body_n the_o temple_n and_o st._n john_n tell_v we_o

to_o it_o as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v and_o this_o temple_n be_v but_o a_o figure_n of_o the_o incarnation_n of_o christ_n who_o shall_v dwell_v among_o we_o in_o humane_a nature_n than_o all_o the_o christian_a worship_n must_v be_v offer_v up_o to_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n as_o all_o the_o jewish_a worship_n be_v offer_v to_o god_n at_o the_o temple_n for_o christ_n be_v the_o only_a temple_n in_o a_o strict_a and_o proper_a sense_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n and_o therefore_o he_o alone_o can_v render_v all_o our_o service_n acceptable_a to_o god_n so_o that_o god_n who_o be_v the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o only_a object_n of_o our_o worship_n and_o christ_n consider_v as_o god_n incarnate_a as_o god_n dwell_v in_o humane_a nature_n be_v the_o only_a temple_n where_o all_o our_o worship_n must_v be_v offer_v to_o god_n that_o be_v we_o shall_v find_v acceptance_n with_o god_n only_o in_o his_o name_n and_o mediation_n we_o must_v worship_v no_o other_o be_v but_o only_o the_o supreme_a god_n and_o that_o only_a through_o jesus_n christ._n thus_o under_o the_o law_n the_o priest_n be_v to_o intercede_v for_o the_o people_n but_o not_o without_o sacrifice_n their_o intercession_n be_v found_v in_o make_v atonement_n and_o expiation_n for_o sin_n which_o plain_o signify_v that_o under_o the_o gospel_n we_o can_v have_v no_o other_o mediator_n but_o only_o he_o who_o expiate_v our_o sin_n and_o intercede_v in_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n who_o be_v our_o priest_n and_o our_o sacrifice_n and_o therefore_o our_o mediator_n 2._o as_o st._n john_n observe_v if_o any_o man_n sin_n we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a and_o he_o be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n the_o law_n know_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o a_o mediator_n of_o pure_a intercession_n a_o mediator_n who_o be_v no_o priest_n and_o offer_v no_o sacrifice_n for_o we_o and_o therefore_o the_o gospel_n allow_v of_o no_o such_o mediator_n neither_o who_o mediate_a only_a by_o their_o prayer_n without_o a_o sacrifice_n such_o mediator_n as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n make_v of_o saint_n and_o angel_n and_o the_o virgin_n mary_n but_o we_o have_v only_o one_o mediator_n a_o mediator_n of_o redemption_n who_o have_v purchase_v we_o with_o his_o blood_n of_o who_o the_o priest_n under_o the_o law_n be_v type_n and_o figure_n thus_o under_o the_o law_n none_o but_o the_o high_a priest_n be_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n now_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n be_v a_o type_n of_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o this_o plain_o signify_v that_o under_o the_o gospel_n 12._o there_o shall_v be_v but_o one_o high_a priest_n and_o mediator_n to_o offer_v up_o our_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n in_o heaven_n he_o and_o he_o only_o who_o enter_v into_o heaven_n with_o his_o own_o blood_n as_o the_o high_a priest_n go_v into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n there_o may_v be_v a_o great_a many_o priest_n and_o advocate_n on_o earth_n to_o intercede_v for_o we_o as_o there_o be_v under_o the_o law_n great_a number_n of_o priest_n the_o son_n of_o aaron_n to_o attend_v the_o service_n and_o ministry_n of_o the_o temple_n but_o we_o have_v and_o can_v have_v but_o one_o priest_n and_o mediator_n in_o heaven_n whoever_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o priesthood_n and_o ministry_n of_o the_o law_n be_v typical_a of_o the_o evangelical_n priesthood_n and_o worship_n can_v avoid_v the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n and_o whoever_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v this_o must_v reject_v most_o of_o st._n paul_n epistle_n especial_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n which_o proceed_v whole_o upon_o this_o way_n of_o reason_v now_o this_o manifest_o justify_v the_o worship_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o true_a christian_a worship_n for_o we_o worship_v one_o god_n through_o one_o mediator_n who_o offer_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o we_o when_o he_o be_v on_o earth_n and_o intercee_v for_o we_o as_o our_o high_a priest_n in_o heaven_n which_o answer_v to_o the_o one_o temple_n and_o the_o one_o high_a priest_n under_o the_o law_n but_o though_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v what_o we_o do_v worship_v the_o supreme_a god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o she_o spoil_v the_o analogy_n between_o the_o type_n and_o the_o antitype_n the_o legal_a and_o evangelical_n worship_n by_o do_v more_o when_o she_o send_v we_o to_o the_o shrine_n and_o altar_n of_o so_o many_o several_a saint_n sure_o this_o can_v answer_v to_o that_o one_o temple_n at_o jerusalem_n where_o god_n alone_o be_v to_o be_v worship_v there_o be_v as_o many_o temple_n and_o mercy-seat_n now_o as_o there_o be_v shrine_n and_o altar_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n by_o who_o intercession_n we_o may_v obtain_v our_o request_n of_o god_n when_o she_o advance_v saint_n and_o angel_n to_o the_o office_n of_o mediator_n and_o interceslsor_n in_o heaven_n this_o contradict_v the_o type_n of_o one_o high_a priest_n who_o alone_o may_v enter_v into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n which_o be_v a_o type_n of_o heaven_n for_o there_o be_v some_o difference_n between_o have_v one_o mediator_n in_o heaven_n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o more_o under_o the_o gospel_n to_o answer_v to_o the_o typical_a high_a priest_n under_o the_o law_n and_o have_v a_o hundred_o mediator_n in_o heaven_n together_o with_o our_o typical_a high_a priest_n to_o have_v a_o mediator_n of_o pure_a intercession_n in_o heaven_n who_o never_o offer_v any_o sacrifice_n for_o we_o can_v answer_v to_o the_o high_a priest_n under_o the_o law_n who_o can_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n without_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n the_o high_a priest_n enter_v but_o once_o a_o year_n into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n which_o be_v typical_a of_o christ_n enter_v once_o into_o heaven_n to_o intercede_v for_o we_o can_v be_v reconcile_v with_o a_o new_a succession_n of_o mediator_n as_o oft_o as_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n please_v to_o canonize_v they_o so_o that_o either_o the_o law_n be_v not_o typical_a of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o gospel_n or_o the_o worship_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n which_o be_v so_o contrary_a to_o all_o the_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o law_n can_v be_v true_a christian_a worship_n six_o i_o shall_v add_v but_o one_o thing_n

and_o angel_n than_o to_o god_n as_o it_o be_v apparent_a many_o devotoe_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n do_v and_o this_o be_v to_o give_v supreme_a and_o sovereign_a worship_n to_o they_o without_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v supreme_a being_n indeed_o it_o be_v moral_o impossible_a but_o our_o religious_a worship_n trust_v and_o affiance_n must_v be_v at_o least_o equal_o share_v between_o the_o supreme_a god_n and_o our_o mediator_n whatever_o he_o be_v as_o man_n do_v not_o less_o trust_v in_o the_o interest_n of_o their_o patron_n than_o in_o the_o power_n of_o their_o prince_n for_o it_o be_v not_o mere_a power_n but_o favour_n which_o be_v the_o immediate_a object_n of_o our_o trust_n and_o therefore_o god_n appoint_v his_o only_o beget_v son_n to_o be_v our_o mediator_n as_o for_o other_o great_a and_o wise_a reason_n so_o to_o prevent_v idolatry_n by_o give_v we_o a_o god_n incarnate_a who_o be_v a_o proper_a object_n of_o religious_a adoration_n to_o be_v our_o mediator_n that_o see_v man_n will_v worship_v their_o mediator_n they_o may_v have_v a_o god_n for_o their_o mediator_n to_o worship_n the_o sum_n be_v this_o if_o it_o be_v more_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n to_o have_v all_o religious_a worship_n appropriate_v to_o himself_o than_o to_o have_v only_o a_o part_n of_o it_o and_o it_o may_v be_v the_o least_o share_n and_o part_v too_o than_o the_o worship_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n can_v be_v for_o god_n glory_n but_o beside_o this_o the_o worship_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n together_o with_o god_n do_v mighty_o obscure_a and_o lessen_v the_o divine_a perfection_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v for_o his_o glory_n it_o represent_v he_o indeed_o like_o a_o great_a temporal_a monarch_n but_o it_o do_v not_o represent_v he_o like_o a_o god_n that_o which_o we_o ignorant_o think_v a_o piece_n of_o state_n and_o greatness_n in_o earthly_a monarch_n to_o administer_v the_o great_a affair_n of_o their_o kingdom_n to_o receive_v petition_n and_o address_n to_o bestow_v favour_n to_o administer_v justice_n by_o other_o hand_n to_o have_v some_o great_a minister_n and_o favourite_n to_o interpose_v between_o they_o and_o their_o subject_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o want_v of_o power_n to_o do_v otherwise_o he_o will_v be_v a_o much_o great_a prince_n more_o belove_v and_o reverence_v who_o can_v do_v all_o this_o himself_o but_o no_o prince_n can_v be_v present_a in_o all_o part_n of_o his_o kingdom_n nor_o know_v every_o particular_a subject_n much_o less_o their_o particular_a case_n and_o condition_n desert_n and_o merit_n and_o therefore_o be_v force_v to_o divide_v this_o care_n into_o many_o hand_n and_o in_o so_o do_v share_n his_o power_n and_o honour_n with_o his_o subject_n but_o whoever_o imagine_v any_o such_o thing_n of_o god_n deny_v his_o omnipresence_n his_o omnipotence_n his_o omniscience_n and_o his_o particular_a care_n and_o providence_n over_o his_o creature_n god_n indeed_o do_v not_o always_o govern_v the_o world_n by_o a_o immediate_a power_n but_o make_v use_n both_o of_o the_o ministry_n of_o angel_n &_o man_n but_o he_o govern_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o immediate_a direction_n or_o at_o least_o by_o his_o immediate_a inspection_n he_o overlook_v every_o thing_n himself_o while_o all_o creature_n either_o obey_v his_o command_n or_o submit_v to_o his_o power_n if_o this_o be_v the_o true_a notion_n of_o god_n govern_v the_o world_n that_o he_o have_v the_o concernment_n of_o the_o whole_a creation_n under_o his_o eye_n and_o keep_v the_o disposal_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n so_o that_o nothing_o can_v be_v do_v but_o either_o by_o his_o order_n or_o permission_n then_o the_o most_o perfect_a and_o glorious_a angel_n the_o great_a minister_n of_o the_o divine_a providence_n can_v challenge_v no_o share_n in_o religious_a worship_n can_v be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o trust_n or_o hope_n because_o they_o be_v only_a minister_n of_o the_o divine_a will_n can_v do_v nothing_o from_o themselves_o as_o civil_a minister_n of_o state_n and_o officer_n of_o great_a trust_n can_v in_o temporal_a kingdom_n but_o be_v always_o

make_v the_o peculiar_a attribute_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n thou_o be_v a_o god_n that_o hear_v prayer_n therefore_o unto_o thou_o shall_v all_o flesh_n come_v and_o reason_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v the_o most_o eminent_a part_n of_o sovereignty_n and_o majesty_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o temporal_a prince_n do_v not_o reserve_v this_o whole_o to_o themselves_o be_v because_o they_o can_v do_v it_o but_o god_n can_v and_o he_o challenge_v it_o to_o himself_o and_o will_v not_o allow_v any_o creature_n to_o do_v it_o and_o there_o be_v no_o temptation_n to_o pray_v to_o any_o
