which_o be_v establish_v upon_o better_a promise_n a_o better_a covenant_n and_o establish_v upon_o better_a promise_n or_o a_o better_a testament_n their_o promise_n i_o say_v be_v but_o low_a and_o

second_o our_o worship_n be_v more_o spiritual_a than_o their_o worship_n be_v as_o that_o know_a place_n in_o joh._n 4._o 23._o where_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n you_o serve_v

wherein_o there_o be_v outward_a carnal_a thing_n wherein_o we_o worship_v god_n through_o the_o creature_n otherwise_o his_o worship_n be_v altogether_o spiritual_a but_o now_o antichrist_n he_o will_v bring_v in_o altogether_o carnal_a thing_n he_o will_v add_v a_o hundred_o invention_n of_o his_o own_o as_o build_v sumptuous_a temple_n rail_v in_o of_o the_o communion_n table_n and_o then_o

ridiculous_a and_o carnal_a way_n of_o worship_n make_v the_o worshipper_n twofold_a more_o the_o child_n of_o satan_n than_o they_o be_v before_o but_o now_o the_o more_o spiritual_a any_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v the_o more_o spiritual_a it_o make_v the_o heart_n the_o less_o we_o stick_v to_o the_o creature_n while_o we_o be_v worship_v of_o god_n the_o more_o communion_n we_o come_v to_o

do_v four_o we_o have_v access_n with_o boldness_n to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v god_n do_v not_o reveal_v himself_o in_o that_o terrible_a way_n to_o his_o saint_n

take_v one_o that_o be_v a_o child_n and_o have_v a_o servile_a spirit_n and_o be_v afraid_a to_o come_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o father_n it_o may_v be_v he_o will_v do_v some_o work_n in_o

come_v a_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n upon_o the_o child_n oh_o then_o he_o go_v lively_a on_o in_o duty_n to_o his_o father_n than_o he_o rejoice_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o father_n &_o to_o
