that_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o worship_n the_o one_o interior_a the_o other_o exterior_a the_o interior_a be_v in_o the_o mind_n and_o soul_n only_o the_o exterior_a be_v that_o interior_a signifeyd_v by_o some_o humiliation_n of_o the_o body_n so_o that_o though_o one_o may_v have_v the_o inward_a of_o the_o soul_n without_o any_o outward_a or_o exterior_a in_o the_o body_n yet_o one_o can_v hever_o have_v a_o true_a act_n of_o exterior_a or_o bodily_a worship_n without_o a_o interior_a worship_n in_o the_o soul_n thus_o the_o soldier_n in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n passion_n though_o they_o bend_v their_o knee_n to_o he_o which_o be_v one_o part_n of_o exterior_a worship_n take_v separately_z and_o absolute_o in_o itself_o yet_o because_o it_o be_v not_o accompany_v with_o the_o inward_a humiliation_n of_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v no_o act_n of_o worship_n but_o of_o mockery_n i_o say_v it_o follow_v that_o as_o the_o outward_a corporal_a humiliation_n be_v constitured_a a_o act_n of_o true_a worship_n by_o the_o inward_a intention_n of_o the_o mind_n so_o be_v the_o different_a kind_n of_o worship_n distinguish_v only_o by_o the_o different_a intention_n and_o humiliation_n of_o the_o soul_n for_o the_o very_a same_o external_a comportment_n and_o prostration_n of_o the_o body_n may_v be_v use_v both_o when_o we_o worship_v god_n a_o angel_n a_o saint_n a_o apostle_n a_o bishop_n a_o priest_n a_o king_n a_o magistrate_n a_o father_n a_o mother_n etc._n etc._n thus_o the_o very_a same_o hebrew_n 4.37_o and_o greek_a word_n be_v use_v in_o these_o different_a worship_n the_o same_o bow_v and_o kneel_v be_v practise_v to_o they_o all_o as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v but_o though_o the_o same_o external_a gesture_n of_o the_o body_n may_v be_v use_v to_o all_o yet_o they_o b●ome_v different_a kind_n of_o worship_n according_a to_o the_o different_a humiliation_n intention_n and_o acknowledgement_n which_o he_o who_o worship_v desire_n to_o exptesse_n by_o those_o outward_a deportment_n of_o the_o body_n thus_o if_o when_o i_o kneel_v i_o intend_v to_o exhibit_v worship_n to_o the_o creator_n and_o maker_n of_o all_o tking_n that_o kneel_v will_v be_v a_o divine_a worship_n proper_a to_o god_n only_o if_o i_o kneel_v with_o intention_n to_o acknowledge_v only_o some_o civil_a dignity_n or_o moral_a exccllency_n in_o the_o person_n before_o who_o i_o keel_n it_o will_v bc_n a_o mere_a civil_a worship_n but_o if_o i_o kneel_v before_o or_o to_o some_o other_o thing_n or_o person_n with_o
