the_o truth_n of_o worship_n but_o about_o the_o place_n sir_n say_v she_o i_o perceive_v that_o thou_o be_v a_o prophet_n our_o father_n worship_v in_o this_o mountain_n and_o you_o say_v that_o in_o

woman_n believe_v i_o the_o hour_n come_v when_o you_o shall_v neither_o in_o this_o mountain_n nor_o yet_o at_o jerusalem_n worship_n the_o father_n v._o 21._o and_o then_o go_v on_o to_o show_v she_o what_o true_a worship_n be_v and_o who_o the_o true_a worshipper_n be_v but_o say_v not_o one_o word_n of_o the_o place_n in_o like_a manner_n many_o be_v mighty_o inquisitive_a about_o place_n time_n gesture_n and_o circumstance_n of_o worship_n and_o have_v a_o great_a zeal_n for_o all_o these_o external_a part_n of_o religion_n and_o yet_o be_v total_o ignorant_a both_o of_o the_o true_a

with_o the_o shadow_n instead_o of_o the_o substance_n of_o religion_n for_o moderation_n temper_v the_o mind_n and_o allay_v those_o heat_n and_o excursion_n which_o otherwise_o it_o be_v apt_a to_o

tell_v you_o of_o some_o that_o hate_v peace_n and_o the_o psalmist_n say_v he_o have_v long_o dwell_v with_o such_o psal_n 120.6_o my_o soul_n say_v he_o have_v long_o dwell_v with_o he_o that_o
