the_o whole_a stream_n of_o protestant_a writer_n i_o have_v collect_v their_o word_n and_o set_v they_o down_o but_o find_v that_o they_o take_v up_o more_o room_n than_o in_o so_o small_a a_o tract_n may_v well_o be_v spare_v i_o think_v it_o convenient_a to_o lay_v they_o by_o those_o that_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o peruse_v they_o may_v have_v recourse_n to_o their_o commentary_n and_o

corporeal_a external_a and_o truth_n to_o what_o be_v figurative_a ritual_a and_o ceremonial_a but_o they_o do_v not_o all_o i_o confess_v precise_o observe_v that_o distinction_n yet_o they_o do_v all_o from_o hence_o declare_v against_o the_o use_n of_o ceremony_n in_o new-testament_n worship_n not_o only_o against_o the_o use_n of_o jewish_a ceremony_n but_o other_o likewise_o i_o know_v some_o of_o they_o as_o well_o as_o the_o ancient_n before_o they_o speak_v with_o reference_n to_o the_o jewish_a and_o samaritan_n ceremony_n and_o so_o without_o question_n our_o saviour_n do_v too_o for_o what_o other_o carrying_z the_o least_o colour_n of_o authority_n or_o reason_n be_v there_o then_o for_o he_o to_o speak_v against_o but_o yet_o not_o so_o as_o if_o they_o think_v those_o be_v the_o only_a ceremony_n that_o fall_v under_o our_o saviour_n censure_n that_o they_o never_o think_v the_o jewish_a and_o samaritan_n ceremony_n be_v the_o only_a ceremony_n condemn_v by_o our_o saviour_n appear_v in_o this_o that_o they_o allege_v this_o place_n against_o the_o papist_n and_o their_o ceremony_n account_v it_o a_o good_a and_o solid_a argument_n against_o they_o beside_o such_o as_o have_v commented_a upon_o it_o and_o so_o have_v take_v occasion_n to_o urge_v it_o against_o they_o loc_n chamier_n camero_n bucan_n with_o many_o more_o in_o write_n of_o another_o nature_n improve_v it_o against_o they_o now_o if_o it_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n against_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o papist_n why_o may_v it_o not_o likewise_o be_v so_o against_o the_o ceremony_n of_o other_o who_o have_v derive_v they_o from_o they_o indeed_o contzen_n the_o jesuit_n say_v that_o spirit_n and_o truth_n be_v here_o oppose_v to_o hypocrisy_n and_o the_o vanity_n of_o certain_a of_o the_o jew_n and_o all_o the_o samaritan_n rather_o than_o to_o figure_n but_o herein_o he_o be_v not_o only_o contradict_v by_o the_o body_n of_o protestant_a writer_n but_o by_o his_o own_o friend_n bonaventure_n jansenius_n nay_o ribera_n and_o other_o of_o his_o own_o order_n in_o what_o they_o have_v write_v on_o the_o place_n in_o a_o word_n our_o saviour_n well_o foreknow_v

in_o after-age_n will_v be_v to_o a_o ceremonious_a superstitious_a pompous_a worship_n and_o therefore_o see_v it_o needful_a to_o speak_v not_o only_o against_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o

in_o truth_n 4._o i_o be_o now_o to_o give_v you_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o point_n and_o show_v you_o wherefore_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n in_o these_o day_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n and_o i_o shall_v first_o speak_v of_o worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n now_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v that_o for_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o it_o be_v the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o god_n who_o they_o be_v to_o worship_n 2._o that_o they_o shall_v so_o do_v 203._o and_o this_o sure_a 277._o to_o all_o those_o that_o know_v any_o thing_n what_o a_o deity_n mean_n be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n the_o will_n of_o god_n say_v the_o seraphic_a doctor_n be_v the_o reason_n of_o reason_n and_o not_o only_o right_a but_o the_o rule_n of_o our_o proceed_n and_o latter_a writer_n speak_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n as_o his_o power_n be_v unlimited_a and_o his_o wisdom_n infinite_a so_o his_o authority_n be_v supreme_a and_o his_o freedom_n absolute_a and_o therefore_o he_o may_v both_o do_v what_o he_o will_v himself_o and_o appoint_v what_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o do_v and_o it_o be_v not_o for_o such_o worm_n as_o

virtue_n both_o of_o that_o natural_a and_o profess_a allegiance_n we_o owe_v to_o he_o under_o the_o harsh_a appointment_n and_o distastfull_a occurrence_n to_o acquiesce_v and_o rest_v satisfy_v he_o need_v not_o the_o advice_n or_o help_n of_o any_o of_o his_o creature_n whether_o angel_n or_o man_n to_o assist_v he_o in_o the_o management_n of_o his_o affair_n he_o make_v the_o world_n without_o they_o redeem_v his_o church_n without_o they_o and_o he_o know_v how_o to_o govern_v it_o without_o they_o and_o the_o reason_n wherefore_o he_o do_v this_o and_o not_o that_o and_o appoint_v this_o and_o not_o that_o be_v not_o any_o natural_a necessity_n or_o debility_n that_o be_v in_o he_o for_o he_o be_v al-sufficient_a but_o it_o be_v his_o own_o pleasure_n i_o may_v say_v in_o this_o case_n as_o our_o saviour_n do_v in_o the_o like_a 21._o even_o so_o o_o father_n because_o it_o seem_v good_a in_o thy_o sight_n or_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o original_n because_o it_o be_v thy_o good_a pleasure_n now_o that_o it_o be_v the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o god_n that_o we_o shall_v worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n be_v evident_a and_o now_o israel_n say_v he_o what_o do_v

with_o all_o thy_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o soul_n he_o do_v not_o only_o require_v we_o to_o serve_v he_o but_o to_o serve_v he_o with_o the_o heart_n and_o not_o only_o with_o the_o heart_n

the_o heart_n do_v not_o here_o stand_v in_o opposition_n to_o with_o the_o heart_n as_o sometime_o it_o do_v but_o in_o coincidency_n with_o it_o he_o do_v not_o mean_a we_o must_v serve_v he_o

he_o to_o devise_v and_o that_o blasphemous_a tongue_n of_o he_o to_o utter_v but_o far_o different_a from_o what_o the_o holy-ghost_n dictae_v to_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n as_o god_n will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o worship_v he_o with_o the_o body_n only_o so_o neither_o will_v he_o have_v we_o to_o worship_v he_o with_o the_o soul_n only_o but_o with_o soul_n and_o body_n both_o together_o he_o be_v maker_n and_o lord_n both_o of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o he_o expect_v to_o be_v worship_v with_o the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o with_o the_o other_o when_o he_o call_v so_o much_o for_o our_o worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n he_o do_v not_o thereby_o exclude_v or_o discharge_v we_o from_o worship_v he_o with_o the_o body_n he_o never_o intend_v any_o such_o thing_n he_o call_v upon_o we_o indeed_o to_o worship_v he_o with_o the_o spirit_n principal_o but_o not_o only_o thus_o the_o saint_n of_o old_a act_v and_o guide_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n

they_o bow_v their_o knee_n lift_v up_o their_o eye_n voice_z hands_z smite_v upon_o their_o breast_n and_o the_o like_a thereby_o teach_v we_o that_o when_o we_o employ_v ourselves_o in_o the_o
