imperfect_a and_o finite_a but_o when_o we_o appear_v before_o god_n and_o do_v reverence_n to_o he_o we_o must_v do_v it_o with_o apprehension_n of_o eminency_n and_o that_o such_o as_o be_v uncreated_a perfect_a &_o infinite_a there_o be_v two_o dangerous_a rock_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o dash_v ourselves_o upon_o the_o one_o be_v the_o ascribe_v to_o the_o creature_n the_o perfection_n of_o god_n by_o conceive_v of_o he_o &_o carry_v ourselves_o towards_o he_o as_o god_n and_o the_o other_o be_v the_o ascribe_v to_o god_n the_o imperfection_n of_o the_o creature_n conceive_v of_o he_o and_o carry_v ourselves_o towards_o he_o as_o a_o creature_n now_o to_o give_v to_o the_o creature_n the_o prerogative_n of_o god_n and_o to_o charge_n upon_o god_n the_o defect_n of_o the_o creature_n be_v equal_o absurd_a and_o dangerous_a it_o must_v therefore_o be_v our_o care_n that_o our_o worship_n be_v suitable_a to_o the_o object_n to_o which_o it_o be_v tender_v that_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o creator_n that_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o the_o creature_n and_o that_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o creature_n that_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o the_o creator_n in_o our_o worship_v the_o creature_n we_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o go_v too_o far_o and_o in_o our_o worship_v the_o creator_n we_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o fall_v short_a as_o god_n will_v not_o have_v we_o give_v to_o he_o the_o honour_n he_o have_v allow_v the_o creature_n so_o neither_o will_v he_o have_v we_o to_o give_v the_o creature_n that_o honour_n he_o have_v reserve_v for_o himself_o but_o we_o must_v give_v unto_o caesar_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v caesar_n 21._o and_o unto_o god_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v go_n if_o we_o neglect_v to_o worship_v man_n we_o offer_v violence_n to_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o second_o table_n if_o god_n than_o we_o offer_v violence_n to_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o first_o to_o worship_n god_n and_o not_o man_n be_v to_o overthrow_v that_o beautiful_a and_o comely_a order_n he_o have_v establish_v in_o the_o world_n and_o to_o worship_v man_n and_o not_o god_n be_v to_o deny_v he_o that_o natural_a right_n that_o belong_v to_o he_o and_o prefer_v his_o own_o creature_n before_o he_o which_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o sin_n of_o a_o very_a heinous_a nature_n we_o must_v see_v therefore_o that_o we_o worship_v both_o man_n and_o god_n man_n with_o the_o worshhip_n belong_v to_o he_o and_o god_n with_o the_o worship_n belong_v to_o he_o which_o what_o it_o be_v more_o particular_o be_v the_o next_o thing_n i_o be_o to_o speak_v of_o 2._o i_o be_o to_o

if_o it_o be_v a_o true_a rule_n that_o the_o way_n to_o find_v out_o the_o meaning_n of_o a_o complex_fw-la term_n be_v first_o to_o take_v it_o asunder_o and_o seek_v out_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o simple_a term_n include_v in_o it_o than_o the_o way_n to_o find_v out_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o worship_a god_n in_o spirit_n be_v first_o to_o take_v the_o clause_n asunder_o and_o seek_v out_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o simple_a term_n spirit_n we_o can_v tell_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o worship_v god_n in_o spirit_n till_o we_o have_v first_o find_v out_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o

to_o say_v somewhat_o of_o it_o under_o the_o next_o particular_a 3._o i_o be_o to_o show_v you_o the_o meaning_n of_o worship_v god_n in_o truth_n and_o of_o this_o passage_n i_o may_v say_v as_o maldonate_fw-it do_v of_o another_o 11._o perhaps_o it_o have_v be_v easy_a have_v not_o man_n obscure_v it_o by_o their_o exposition_n have_v peruse_v several_a writer_n upon_o it_o i_o find_v they_o very_o different_a in_o their_o apprehension_n concern_v it_o such_o of_o their_o opinion_n as_o be_v most_o remarkable_a i_o shall_v give_v you_o a_o account_n of_o and_o then_o recommend_v to_o you_o that_o which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o true_a and_o genuine_a sense_n of_o it_o 1._o some_o think_v that_o by_o spirit_n in_o this_o place_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n and_o by_o truth_n the_o second_o and_o that_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n be_v to_o worship_v the_o father_n in_o the_o son_n and_o the_o son_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v to_o worship_v the_o whole_a trinity_n this_o way_n go_v athanasius_n but_o as_o tolet_n the_o jesuit_n say_v true_o serapion_n it_o be_v difficult_a to_o accommodate_v this_o to_o the_o context_n have_v this_o be_v our_o saviour_n meaning_n he_o shall_v rather_o have_v say_v loc._n they_o that_o worship_v he_o must_v worship_v he_o in_o truth_n and_o in_o spirit_n than_o as_o it_o be_v here_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n but_o the_o mistake_n be_v evident_a and_o therefore_o i_o need_v to_o say_v no_o more_o of_o it_o 2._o other_o think_v to_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n that_o to_o worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n be_v to_o worship_v he_o in_o truth_n and_o to_o worship_v he_o in_o truth_n be_v to_o worship_n in_o spirit_n and_o so_o they_o will_v have_v the_o one_o to_o be_v a_o exposition_n of_o the_o other_o and_o they_o say_v to_o worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n be_v not_o to_o worship_v he_o under_o a_o visible_a representation_n or_o similitude_n as_o if_o he_o be_v a_o material_a substance_n or_o body_n for_o the_o samaritan_n worship_v he_o under_o the_o image_n of_o a_o dove_n and_o circumcise_v their_o child_n in_o the_o name_n thereof_o and_o so_o they_o will_v have_v our_o saviour_n word_n to_o imply_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v answer_v the_o woman_n thus_o thou_o enquire_v of_o i_o concern_v the_o true_a place_n of_o worship_n whether_o it_o be_v mount_n garizim_n or_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n now_o not_o very_o material_a for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o time_n be_v at_o hand_n that_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v confine_v to_o neither_o of_o they_o but_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n betwixt_o we_o then_o that_o of_o place_n which_o thou_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o and_o that_o be_v about_o the_o object_n of_o worship_n you_o worship_v you_o know_v not_o what_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 ever_o understand_v he_o and_o therefore_o do_v not_o only_o employ_v their_o spirit_n in_o worship_v he_o 13._o but_o their_o body_n also_o to_o instance_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o prayer_n therein_o 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 worship_n of_o god_n we_o must_v not_o only_o engage_v the_o soul_n but_o the_o body_n likewise_o 138._o and_o amyrald_n who_o write_v against_o such_o quodlibetick_a spirit_n tell_v we_o that_o there_o never_o be_v any_o nation_n that_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o serve_v god_n in_o thought_n only_o without_o make_v demonstration_n of_o their_o devotion_n by_o gesture_n and_o external_a

of_o augustin_n by_o word_n c._n say_v he_o and_o other_o sign_n we_o great_o excite_v ourselves_o to_o increase_v holy_a desire_n and_o upon_o this_o and_o such_o like_a ground_n aquinas_n teach_v

anatomist_n say_v there_o be_v certain_a string_n that_o come_v from_o the_o heart_n to_o the_o tongue_n so_o that_o the_o agitation_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o tongue_n do_v stir_v and_o shake_v the_o heart_n and_o thereby_o awaken_v and_o affect_v it_o render_v it_o more_o vigorous_a and_o lively_a in_o its_o present_a service_n if_o therefore_o when_o we_o be_v wait_v upon_o god_n in_o secret_a we_o find_v our_o heart_n dead_a and_o liveless_a we_o may_v make_v use_n of_o the_o tongue_n for_o the_o quicken_a of_o they_o and_o render_v they_o more_o fit_a for_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o

9_o to_o drop_v asleep_a in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_n of_o something_o to_o awaken_v they_o and_o if_o we_o find_v the_o voice_n will_v do_v it_o we_o may_v
