certain_o contrary_a to_o the_o reason_n and_o experience_n of_o all_o observe_a man_n that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o place_n and_o office_n of_o a_o public_a worship_n man_n shall_v have_v any_o due_a and_o suitable_a thought_n of_o the_o presence_n they_o come_v before_o and_o not_o express_v the_o same_o in_o outward_a gesture_n and_o behaviour_n i_o be_o sure_a none_o will_v believe_v that_o man_n have_v any_o internal_a or_o mental_a reverence_n for_o his_o superior_n who_o when_o in_o their_o presence_n do_v not_o outward_o express_v the_o same_o for_o we_o measure_v the_o thought_n by_o the_o action_n and_o guess_v at_o the_o soul_n by_o the_o body_n much_o more_o must_v we_o think_v thus_o in_o the_o case_n before_o we_o for_o god_n be_v the_o great_a and_o most_o excellent_a of_o all_o being_n if_o we_o have_v worthy_a thought_n of_o he_o the_o mind_n be_v so_o strike_v and_o the_o soul_n receive_v such_o deep_a impression_n that_o we_o much_o more_o necessary_o in_o outward_a gesture_n discover_v the_o awful_a and_o reverend_a thought_n we_o have_v of_o the_o deity_n than_o we_o do_v our_o respect_n to_o superior_n who_o be_v but_o fellow-creature_n differ_v from_o we_o not_o in_o infinite_a as_o god_n do_v but_o in_o some_o few_o and_o little_a distance_n and_o doubtless_o our_o saviour_n require_v a_o spiritual_a worship_n do_v as_o much_o intend_v that_o of_o the_o body_n too_o as_o those_o scripture_n mean_v so_o many_o person_n that_o speak_v only_o of_o so_o many_o soul_n gen._n 12.5_o and_o abraham_n take_v sarai_n his_o wife_n etc._n etc._n and_o all_o the_o soul_n they_o have_v get_v etc._n etc._n and_o it_o seem_v very_o observable_a that_o when_o man_n once_o exclude_v the_o reverence_n of_o the_o body_n they_o quick_o lose_v that_o of_o the_o soul_n too_o as_o appear_v from_o such_o man_n expression_n who_o make_v their_o prayer_n familiar_a discourse_n with_o god_n almighty_a which_o must_v proceed_v from_o want_n of_o due_a thought_n of_o god_n whereupon_o they_o make_v themselves_o too_o much_o like_o he_o or_o he_o too_o much_o like_o themselves_o neither_o be_v it_o any_o wonder_n that_o our_o saviour_n express_o require_v a_o spiritual_a worship_n rather_o than_o a_o bodily_a because_o 1._o this_o be_v the_o great_a and_o carry_v the_o other_o along_o with_o it_o whereas_o that_o be_v the_o less_o and_o may_v be_v because_o it_o sometime_o be_v without_o this_o 2._o christ_n be_v here_o null_v the_o mosaic_a dispensation_n which_o be_v call_v a_o carnal_a command_n

therefore_o be_v now_o to_o bring_v in_o a_o worship_n which_o rest_v not_o so_o much_o in_o bodily_a exercise_n it_o be_v most_o proper_a and_o subservient_fw-fr to_o this_o present_a design_n to_o
