say_v that_o in_o jerusalem_n be_v the_o place_n of_o worship_n he_o do_v not_o say_v a_o place_n but_o the_o place_n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o her_o question_n be_v about_o the_o place_n where_o man_n ought_v to_o worship_v whether_o it_o be_v at_o that_o mountain_n or_o at_o jerusalem_n for_o then_o god_n bind_v his_o public_a worship_n to_o one_o place_n now_o jesus_n say_v unto_o she_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 now_o christ_n by_o this_o speech_n do_v not_o allow_v they_o to_o worship_n in_o idol_n temple_n though_o in_o a_o sense_n all_o place_n be_v free_a to_o do_v it_o all_o place_n of_o god_n creation_n but_o place_n of_o man_n limitation_n erection_n and_o dedication_n to_o idol_n aught_o to_o be_v pull_v down_o and_o this_o by_o way_n of_o application_n may_v appear_v in_o the_o 22._o and_o 23._o verse_n of_o the_o same_o chapter_n where_o christ_n deal_v plain_o with_o her_o say_n you_o worship_v you_o know_v not_o what_o we_o know_v what_o we_o worship_v for_o salvation_n be_v of_o jew_n but_o the_o hour_n come_v and_o now_o be_v when_o the_o true_a worshipper_n shall_v worship_v the_o father_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n for_o the_o father_n seek_v such_o to_o worship_v he_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v think_v not_o that_o though_o the_o time_n be_v that_o the_o true_a worshipper_n shall_v not_o be_v limit_v to_o worship_v in_o a_o place_n that_o therefore_o this_o be_v any_o justification_n of_o you_o samaritan_n who_o worship_v in_o idol_n temple_n and_o worship_v idol_n you_o worship_v you_o know_v not_o what_o we_o know_v say_v he_o what_o we_o worship_v and_o allege_v this_o reason_n for_o salvation_n be_v of_o the_o jew_n intimate_v that_o salvation_n be_v not_o of_o the_o samaritan_n who_o worship_v idol_n and_o in_o idol_n temple_n so_o that_o if_o they_o will_v have_v salvation_n they_o must_v turn_v from_o such_o vanity_n therefore_o he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o worship_v the_o father_n in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n now_o the_o spirit_n and_o truth_n be_v distinct_a though_o all_o one_o in_o purity_n the_o spirit_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v write_v thy_o word_n be_v truth_n now_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n do_v speak_v against_o idol_n temple_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o worship_v god_n in_o idol_n temple_n but_o in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v a_o pure_a spirit_n but_o idol_n and_o idol_n temple_n be_v unclean_a and_o diabolical_a and_o contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o father_n seek_v such_o to_o worship_v he_o that_o worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v be_v find_v of_o he_o worship_v not_o in_o idol_n temple_n but_o in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n and_o by_o all_o this_o scripture_n here_o be_v not_o the_o least_o colour_n for_o but_o rather_o against_o idol_n temple_n christ_n never_o shed_v his_o blood_n to_o uphold_v and_o purge_v idol_n temple_n from_o their_o diabolical_a uncleanness_n which_o uncleanness_n proceed_v not_o from_o any_o institution_n of_o god_n but_o from_o the_o devil_n and_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o reason_n why_o idol_n temple_n be_v prohibit_v under_o the_o law_n be_v because_o god_n have_v brand_v they_o then_o mr._n chidley_n answer_v that_o they_o make_v they_o idol_n temple_n god_n brand_v they_o and_o to_o this_o day_n that_o brand_n be_v not_o take_v off_o they_o but_o remain_v still_o upon_o they_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n have_v not_o cleanse_v they_o the_o brand_n be_v still_o upon_o they_o as_o well_o as_o upon_o the_o idol_n themselves_o to_o this_o day_n therefore_o as_o the_o saint_n be_v to_o keep_v themselves_o from_o idol_n so_o be_v they_o to_o keep_v themselves_o from_o worship_v in_o idol_n temple_n because_o the_o brand_n be_v upon_o they_o neither_o do_v we_o say_v that_o a_o place_n be_v a_o idol_n temple_n because_o idolatry_n be_v commit_v there_o as_o if_o a_o papist_n shall_v cross_v himself_o and_o fall_v down_o and_o worship_n in_o his_o idolatrous_a manner_n in_o this_o or_o in_o another_o man_n house_n this_o do_v not_o make_v it_o a_o idol_n temple_n but_o if_o he_o build_v and_o dedicate_v and_o consecrate_v a_o place_n of_o his_o own_o proper_a good_n to_o a_o idol_n this_o be_v now_o a_o idolatrous_a place_n and_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n command_v israel_n to_o pluck_v down_o all_o the_o idolatrous_a high_a place_n but_o not_o all_o the_o house_n therefore_o the_o house_n may_v stand_v when_o the_o high_a place_n be_v quite_o pluck_v down_o then_o mr._n goodwin_n return_v to_o his_o former_a sense_n of_o that_o place_n in_o the_o 4._o of_o john_n but_o it_o be_v deny_v that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v in_o the_o least_o allow_v or_o countenance_v the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n or_o any_o samaritan_n or_o any_o idolater_n else_o or_o any_o man_n whatever_o to_o worship_v in_o idol_n temple_n then_o mr._n goodwin_n to_o back_v it_o return_v to_o the_o first_o scripture_n in_o 1_o tim._n 2._o 10._o concerning_o the_o word_n everywhere_o but_o it_o be_v tell_v he_o that_o that_o be_v restrain_v by_o god_n himself_o and_o that_o by_o everywhere_o be_v mean_v all_o place_n of_o god_n creation_n but_o not_o of_o man_n limitation_n and_o dedication_n to_o a_o idol_n and_o therefore_o not_o the_o temple_n of_o samaria_n as_o he_o allege_v from_o john_n 4._o which_o say_v the_o hour_n come_v when_o you_o shall_v neither_o at_o this_o mountain_n nor_o yet_o at_o jerusalem_n worship_n the_o father_n then_o say_v mr._n goodwin_n it_o be_v very_o clear_a from_o john_n 4._o christ_n speech_n to_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n that_o he_o come_v to_o lose_v the_o band_n wherewith_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o come_v to_o worship_n at_o the_o temple_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o in_o say_v neither_o at_o this_o mountain_n nor_o yet_o at_o jerusalem_n he_o do_v not_o justify_v the_o worship_n in_o the_o one_o place_n more_o than_o the_o other_o and_o if_o by_o spirit_n you_o mean_v the_o direction_n of_o the_o spirit_n its_o true_a and_o by_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v mean_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n as_o paul_n say_v who_o i_o serve_v in_o my_o spirit_n to_o which_o mr._n chidley_n answer_v that_o christ_n come_v to_o lose_v the_o band_n which_o tie_v man_n to_o the_o temple_n of_o jerusalem_n be_v true_a but_o it_o follow_v not_o therefore_o that_o he_o have_v leave_v we_o free_a to_o worship_v in_o idol_n temple_n he_o justify_v the_o worship_n in_o his_o own_o temple_n but_o not_o in_o idol_n temple_n neither_o do_v the_o say_n of_o christ_n import_v any_o such_o thing_n christ_n say_v afterwards_o to_o the_o woman_n you_o worship_v you_o know_v not_o what_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v do_v not_o think_v that_o i_o do_v in_o the_o least_o justify_v your_o practice_n or_o your_o abominable_a idol_n or_o idol_n temple_n because_o i_o have_v say_v neither_o at_o this_o mountain_n nor_o at_o jerusalem_n shall_v you_o worship_v the_o father_n but_o i_o will_v have_v you_o know_v that_o you_o samaritan_n worship_v you_o know_v not_o what_o we_o jew_n know_v what_o we_o worship_v for_o salvation_n be_v not_o of_o you_o samaritan_n but_o of_o the_o jew_n and_o christ_n show_v that_o the_o father_n must_v be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n now_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o word_n of_o truth_n to_o justify_v worship_v in_o the_o idol_n temple_n and_o concerning_o the_o allegation_n that_o by_o the_o spirit_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v the_o direction_n thereof_o and_o be_v mean_v of_o a_o man_n spirit_n and_o the_o truth_n therein_o as_o paul_n say_v god_n who_o i_o serve_v in_o my_o spirit_n mr._n chidley_n answer_v i_o grant_v that_o we_o be_v to_o serve_v god_n by_o the_o direction_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o that_o be_v by_o his_o holy_a word_n which_o direct_v we_o not_o to_o worship_v in_o idol_n temple_n but_o show_v that_o they_o be_v sin_n and_o to_o be_v quite_o pull_v down_o and_o though_o paul_n say_v he_o serve_v god_n in_o his_o spirit_n it_o may_v be_v take_v that_o he_o serve_v god_n who_o be_v in_o his_o spirit_n for_o god_n be_v say_v to_o dwell_v in_o the_o saint_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o the_o saint_n be_v exhort_v to_o pray_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n who_o direct_v we_o by_o his_o word_n of_o truth_n to_o which_o we_o be_v leave_v for_o direction_n which_o do_v not_o allow_v any_o to_o worship_v he_o in_o idol_n temple_n and_o therefore_o this_o place_n in_o john_n 4._o 22._o

lawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o communicate_v with_o one_o who_o he_o doubt_v whether_o he_o be_v a_o believer_n or_o not_o but_o this_o be_v deny_v by_o mr._n chidley_n from_o two_o consideration_n first_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v doubtful_a be_v not_o to_o be_v practise_v though_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n indifferent_a because_o it_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o a_o sin_n because_o

from_o idolatry_n and_o cleave_v unto_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n in_o purity_n now_o say_v he_o we_o know_v you_o not_o you_o be_v stranger_n to_o we_o we_o be_v not_o come_v to_o accuse_v but_o to_o hear_v your_o manifestation_n for_o our_o satisfaction_n that_o you_o be_v fit_a matter_n for_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o we_o hope_v we_o shall_v not_o break_v communion_n for_o every_o circumstance_n of_o difference_n among_o we_o if_o it_o do_v not_o make_v against_o the_o abosolute_a being_n of_o a_o saint_n then_o mr._n goodwin_n say_v i_o grant_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o to_o

be_v call_v upon_o to_o give_v his_o reason_n why_o he_o can_v not_o communicate_v with_o his_o wife_n who_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v show_v he_o the_o evil_a of_o the_o church_n of_o

hold_v communion_n with_o the_o member_n of_o mr._n goodwin_n church_n because_o mr._n goodwin_n people_n practice_n be_v to_o preach_v and_o hear_v in_o the_o parrish-churche_n of_o england_n and_o to_o worship_n in_o the_o idol_n temple_n and_o to_o baptise_v the_o child_n of_o unbeliever_n and_o such_o like_a then_o after_o some_o further_a discourse_n they_o show_v themselves_o to_o be_v

of_o the_o conference_n brief_o follow_v goodwin_n the_o apostle_n to_o timothy_n tim._n 2._o 8._o say_v i_o will_v therefore_o that_o man_n pray_v everywhere_o lift_v up_o holy_a hand_n without_o

this_o place_n where_o he_o say_v pray_v everywhere_o that_o be_v in_o every_o place_n which_o be_v not_o prohibit_v by_o god_n law_n but_o it_o be_v prohibit_v by_o god_n law_n for_o the_o saint_n to_o worship_n in_o idol_n temple_n for_o he_o have_v command_v they_o shall_v be_v quite_o pluck_v down_o say_v you_o shall_v quite_o pluck_v down_o all_o their_o high_a place_n numb._n 33._o 52._o because_o they_o be_v pollute_v with_o diabolical_a uncleanness_n now_o this_o command_n be_v never_o abrogate_a as_o i_o say_v before_o but_o mr._n goodwin_n say_v there_o be_v no_o guilt_n of_o

its_o true_a in_o a_o sense_n we_o uphold_v they_o not_o at_o all_o but_o when_o they_o have_v set_v up_o idol_n temple_n we_o do_v hold_v that_o those_o place_n be_v make_v diabolical_a by_o they_o because_o wicked_a man_n have_v dedicate_v they_o to_o their_o idol_n no_o more_o do_v god_n himself_o in_o the_o first_o place_n make_v such_o distinction_n of_o place_n as_o they_o make_v but_o
