in_o preach_v the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n i_o do_v it_o in_o my_o spirit_n that_o be_v i_o do_v it_o not_o for_o by-end_n for_o fear_n of_o man_n or_o the_o like_a but_o i_o do_v it_o in_o my_o spirit_n that_o be_v plain_o hearty_o and_o sincere_o so_o that_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n be_v to_o have_v a_o plainness_n and_o sincerity_n in_o our_o worship_v he_o that_o be_v to_o do_v it_o hearty_o what_o we_o do_v to_o he_o in_o our_o pray_n and_o worship_v he_o when_o it_o be_v not_o formal_o and_o customary_o do_v but_o our_o spirit_n second_v it_o within_o this_o it_o be_v to_o worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n so_o that_o the_o scope_n of_o our_o exhortation_n be_v that_o you_o will_v worship_v god_n chief_o in_o your_o spirit_n as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o sing_v psalm_n col._n 3.16_o 3.16_o admonish_v one_o another_o in_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n and_o spiritual_a song_n sing_v with_o grace_n in_o your_o heart_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o ground_n of_o it_o be_v because_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o he_o behold_v at_o any_o such_o time_n when_o you_o come_v before_o he_o the_o inward_a behaviour_n of_o your_o spirit_n that_o be_v he_o observe_v when_o you_o come_v to_o preach_v or_o pray_v what_o squint-eyed_a end_n what_o vain_a glory_n what_o respect_n to_o man_n you_o have_v yea_o he_o observe_v how_o far_o natural_a conscience_n lead_v you_o so_o that_o you_o do_v it_o as_o a_o task_n out_o of_o custom_n etc._n etc._n he_o observe_v what_o worldly-mindednes_a and_o carnal_a affection_n creep_v into_o the_o soul_n at_o that_o time_n that_o make_v you_o either_o to_o post_v off_o the_o duty_n or_o else_o to_o do_v it_o in_o a_o customary_a manner_n all_o this_o do_v he_o behold_v he_o look_v to_o the_o inward_a carriage_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o do_v you_o look_v chief_o to_o the_o inward_a carriage_n to_o the_o inward_a frame_n of_o your_o mind_n thing_n quest._n but_o what_o be_v that_o more_o particular_o answ._n i_o will_v show_v it_o to_o you_o in_o these_o three_o thing_n 1._o see_v that_o thy_o spirit_n be_v as_o near_o he_o as_o thy_o lip_n be_v isaiah_n 29.13_o 29.13_o he_o complain_v of_o a_o sort_n of_o people_n that_o draw_v nigh_o unto_o god_n with_o their_o mouth_n and_o with_o their_o lip_n do_v honour_n he_o but_o have_v remove_v their_o heart_n far_o from_o he_o and_o their_o fear_n towards_o he_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o precept_n of_o man_n so_o jer._n 12.2_o 12.2_o thou_o oh_o lord_n be_v near_o in_o their_o mouth_n and_o far_o from_o their_o reins_n now_o if_o thou_o will_v worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n see_v that_o thy_o spirit_n be_v as_o near_o he_o as_o thy_o word_n be_v as_o for_o example_n in_o prayer_n thou_o confess_v thy_o sin_n and_o profess_v that_o thou_o do_v hate_v they_o thou_o pray_v for_o mortification_n and_o grace_n &_o for_o weanednes_n from_o the_o world_n herein_o thy_o word_n and_o god_n will_v do_v agree_v they_o be_v consonant_n and_o when_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v the_o inward_a inclination_n of_o thy_o heart_n be_v far_o enough_o off_o from_o this_o expression_n therefore_o bring_v thy_o spirit_n near_o to_o god_n as_o thy_o lip_n be_v and_o then_o thou_o worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n to_o show_v you_o more_o plain_o what_o this_o farrenesse_n off_o of_o the_o spirit_n be_v take_v a_o covetous_a man_n and_o put_v he_o upon_o the_o rack_n of_o any_o exigent_n where_o he_o must_v part_v with_o all_o to_o save_v his_o life_n he_o will_v say_v as_o much_o as_o need_v to_o be_v in_o this_o case_n but_o his_o heart_n be_v set_v as_o close_o to_o his_o wealth_n as_o ever_o it_o be_v before_o so_o that_o he_o be_v loath_a to_o part_v with_o any_o thing_n and_o take_v a_o thief_n that_o come_v before_o the_o judge_n he_o confess_v his_o fault_n and_o beg_v pardon_n and_o say_v that_o he_o will_v do_v so_o no_o more_o but_o yet_o his_o heart_n sit_v as_o near_o to_o his_o theft_n he_o be_v as_o far_o from_o honesty_n as_o ever_o he_o be_v before_o so_o take_v a_o man_n when_o he_o come_v into_o some_o exigent_n for_o that_o usual_o be_v the_o time_n as_o at_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n or_o at_o his_o day_n of_o death_n he_o come_v and_o profess_v to_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o will_v follow_v no_o more_o his_o wicked_a course_n but_o he_o will_v become_v a_o new_a man_n here_o his_o word_n draw_v near_o but_o look_v to_o the_o bent_n and_o inclination_n of_o his_o heart_n to_o the_o radical_a constitution_n of_o it_o and_o that_o be_v far_o from_o holiness_n there_o he_o sit_v as_o close_v to_o his_o sin_n as_o he_o do_v before_o therefore_o if_o thou_o will_v worship_v god_n in_o spirit_n take_v care_n that_o thy_o spirit_n draw_v near_o to_o he_o upon_o all_o such_o occasion_n as_o thy_o word_n do_v a_o man_n in_o his_o ordinary_a course_n it_o may_v be_v pray_v and_o his_o prayer_n be_v good_a but_o how_o far_o his_o heart_n be_v from_o it_o that_o his_o life_n show_v it_o be_v a_o strange_a thing_n that_o at_o the_o sacrament_n man_n come_v and_o make_v confession_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o yet_o their_o spirit_n be_v far_o from_o it_o and_o that_o their_o practice_n show_v consider_v this_o you_o be_v the_o man_n that_o the_o prophet_n do_v speak_v too_o you_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n with_o your_o lip_n but_o your_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o he_o and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o particular_a when_o you_o worship_v god_n with_o all_o the_o might_n and_o strength_n and_o endeavour_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o all_o the_o faculty_n of_o it_o this_o be_v to_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n 2_o sam._n 6.14_o 6.14_o it_o be_v say_v of_o david_n that_o he_o dance_v before_o the_o lord_n with_o all_o his_o might_n it_o be_v a_o worship_n of_o god_n a_o spiritual_a worship_n of_o god_n wherein_o david_n by_o his_o outward_a act_n of_o dance_v do_v express_v his_o exultation_n and_o rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n now_o the_o text_n say_v that_o he_o do_v this_o with_o all_o his_o might_n with_o all_o the_o might_n of_o his_o spirit_n for_o so_o you_o must_v understand_v it_o it_o be_v a_o metaphor_n take_v from_o the_o body_n when_o a_o man_n use_v all_o his_o strength_n and_o may_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n he_o unite_v all_o the_o force_n of_o his_o body_n to_o it_o so_o a_o man_n worship_v god_n in_o spirit_n when_o all_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v concentre_v and_o unite_v together_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o such_o a_o duty_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v a_o wrestle_a with_o the_o lord_n as_o jacob_n do_v and_o it_o be_v call_v a_o strive_v with_o god_n as_o paul_n say_v that_o you_o strive_v together_o with_o i_o in_o prayer_n rom._n 15.30_o 30._o that_o be_v when_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o mind_n be_v join_v all_o together_o when_o he_o bend_v the_o whole_a soul_n to_o the_o work_n this_o be_v to_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n such_o a_o expression_n you_o have_v act._n 20._o 20._o where_o paul_n go_v bind_v in_o the_o spirit_n to_o jerusalem_n that_o be_v his_o spirit_n do_v not_o hang_v loose_a but_o it_o be_v gird_v up_o in_o a_o resolution_n to_o go_v through_o with_o the_o work_n whatsoever_o come_v of_o it_o his_o spirit_n be_v bind_v now_o when_o thy_o spirit_n hang_v loose_a upon_o the_o duty_n half_o on_o and_o half_o off_o when_o a_o man_n care_v not_o whether_o he_o do_v it_o or_o no_o this_o be_v not_o to_o worship_n god_n with_o the_o spirit_n but_o when_o thy_o mind_n be_v gird_v up_o and_o thou_o do_v it_o with_o all_o the_o intention_n of_o thy_o soul_n than_o thou_o do_v it_o hearty_o as_o it_o be_v col._n 3.22_o 3.22_o servant_n obey_v in_o all_o thing_n your_o master_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n not_o with_o eye-service_n as_o man_n pleaser_n but_o in_o singleness_n of_o heart_n fear_v god_n where_o eye-service_n and_o hearty_o be_v oppose_v eye-service_n be_v when_o a_o man_n do_v it_o in_o the_o outward_a show_n and_o appearance_n only_o and_o what_o be_v the_o other_o to_o do_v a_o thing_n hearty_o that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n strength_n and_o his_o soul_n do_v go_v with_o the_o duty_n and_o the_o contrary_a to_o this_o be_v the_o looseness_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o the_o wander_a of_o it_o about_o other_o thing_n when_o the_o body_n and_o the_o word_n be_v well_o employ_v but_o the_o mind_n do_v not_o go_v with_o they_o this_o be_v not_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n when_o the_o spirit_n sit_v thus_o loose_a to_o god_n and_o this_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n wherein_o this_o worship_v of_o god_n in_o spirit_n do_v consist_v the_o three_o which_o

have_v not_o much_o but_o yet_o some_o difference_n from_o the_o former_a be_v this_o when_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n behold_v god_n alone_o when_o his_o eye_n be_v upon_o he_o when_o he_o come_v to_o worship_v he_o and_o upon_o nothing_o beside_o if_o a_o man_n will_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o man_n to_o the_o praise_n or_o dispraise_v that_o shall_v follow_v the_o performance_n of_o the_o duty_n he_o do_v so_o far_o worship_v man_n but_o he_o serve_v god_n and_o worship_n he_o in_o spirit_n when_o his_o heart_n be_v leave_v naked_a and_o strip_v of_o all_o other_o respect_n in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o fill_v and_o overawe_v with_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n that_o all_o other_o respect_n do_v vanish_v this_o it_o be_v to_o worship_n god_n in_o singleness_n of_o heart_n and_o this_o be_v oppose_v to_o outward_a performance_n col._n 3.22_o 3.22_o for_o eye-service_n be_v but_o only_o a_o bodily_a and_o outward_a worship_n but_o when_o a_o man_n do_v it_o with_o singleness_n of_o heart_n than_o it_o be_v not_o eye-service_n as_o there_o that_o be_v it_o be_v not_o outward_a only_o now_o singleness_n of_o heart_n be_v this_o when_o the_o mind_n have_v but_o one_o single_a object_n to_o look_v upon_o so_o that_o to_o look_v not_o upon_o any_o creature_n but_o upon_o god_n and_o none_o beside_o this_o be_v to_o worship_n god_n in_o singleness_n of_o heart_n which_o be_v the_o same_o with_o holiness_n of_o spirit_n as_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o vessel_n in_o the_o old_a law_n be_v when_o it_o be_v set_v apart_o from_o all_o other_o service_n to_o god_n alone_o so_o the_o holiness_n of_o a_o man_n spirit_n be_v when_o it_o be_v separate_v from_o all_o by-respect_n and_o aim_n and_o be_v whole_o devote_v to_o he_o whence_o our_o word_n devotion_n do_v spring_v and_o when_o a_o man_n worship_v god_n with_o this_o nakedness_n with_o this_o singleness_n and_o holiness_n of_o spirit_n than_o he_o worship_v god_n in_o spirit_n but_o when_o thou_o come_v to_o perform_v any_o duty_n as_o to_o preach_v a_o sermon_n or_o to_o pray_v and_o thou_o look_v what_o man_n will_v think_v of_o thou_o and_o what_o praise_n and_o credit_n thou_o shall_v get_v by_o it_o this_o pollute_v your_o spirit_n so_o far_o as_o you_o do_v this_o there_o be_v not_o singleness_n but_o doubleness_n of_o spirit_n and_o here_o be_v eye-service_n in_o god_n account_n therefore_o look_v always_o to_o worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n remember_v the_o argument_n here_o use_v god_n be_v a_o spirit_n that_o be_v look_v how_o the_o corporeal_a eye_n of_o man_n behold_v the_o body_n when_o thou_o come_v to_o church_n and_o can_v see_v the_o negligence_n of_o thy_o behaviour_n and_o uncomely_a gesture_n so_o god_n that_o be_v a_o spirit_n he_o behold_v the_o vanity_n and_o looseness_n of_o thy_o spirit_n within_o the_o turning_z and_o roll_v of_o it_o this_o way_n or_o that_o way_n therefore_o take_v diligent_a heed_n to_o thy_o spirit_n labour_v to_o approve_v thyself_o to_o he_o care_v not_o what_o any_o creature_n say_v or_o think_v of_o thou_o and_o this_o be_v to_o worship_v he_o in_o thy_o spirit_n now_o here_o be_v two_o question_n to_o be_v answer_v quest._n 1_o if_o god_n must_v thus_o be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o it_o be_v the_o behaviour_n of_o that_o which_o he_o look_v to_o what_o necessity_n be_v there_o then_o of_o a_o bodily_a comely_a and_o outward_a gesture_n how_o far_o be_v this_o require_v in_o his_o worship_n worship_n answ._n the_o spiritual_a worship_n of_o god_n be_v never_o well_o perform_v but_o when_o it_o be_v signify_v by_o the_o comely_a gesture_n of_o the_o body_n as_o far_o as_o we_o may_v i_o say_v they_o must_v concur_v the_o body_n must_v go_v with_o the_o spirit_n though_o indeed_o he_o chief_o look_v to_o the_o spirit_n for_o they_o be_v both_o he_o 1_o cor._n 6.20_o 20._o beside_o the_o body_n do_v exceed_o help_v the_o spirit_n and_o it_o do_v testify_v when_o you_o come_v before_o other_o that_o holiness_n and_o reverence_n which_o you_o have_v of_o god_n glory_n and_o majesty_n therefore_o to_o persuade_v you_o to_o this_o you_o must_v know_v that_o when_o ever_o you_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o great_a solemnity_n in_o every_o part_n of_o his_o worship_n which_o can_v be_v without_o the_o concurrence_n of_o the_o body_n and_o spirit_n of_o man_n they_o can_v be_v disjoin_v and_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o necessity_n of_o this_o in_o these_o 3_o thing_n 1._o because_o though_o holiness_n be_v seat_v in_o the_o spirit_n yet_o it_o do_v &_o will_v appear_v in_o the_o body_n at_o the_o same_o time_n you_o know_v the_o light_n of_o the_o candle_n be_v seat_v in_o the_o candle_n yet_o it_o shine_v through_o the_o lantern_n if_o it_o be_v there_o so_o though_o holiness_n be_v seat_v in_o the_o spirit_n yet_o it_o will_v appear_v in_o the_o body_n if_o it_o be_v there_o it_o be_v so_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o in_o this_o as_o take_v any_o affection_n that_o be_v in_o we_o as_o a_o blush_a affection_n when_o occasion_n be_v it_o will_v appear_v in_o the_o body_n whether_o we_o will_v or_o no_o so_o a_o impudent_a face_n be_v discern_v and_o perceive_v also_o so_o awefulnesse_n and_o fear_v and_o reverence_n they_o will_v show_v themselves_o and_o look_v out_o at_o the_o window_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o appear_v in_o the_o face_n except_o we_o willing_o suppress_v they_o now_o if_o these_o will_v do_v so_o sure_o it_o hold_v in_o this_o also_o if_o there_o be_v a_o reverence_n of_o the_o mind_n it_o will_v be_v see_v in_o the_o behaviour_n of_o the_o body_n therefore_o you_o see_v eliah_n when_o he_o pray_v earnest_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o body_n go_v with_o it_o he_o put_v his_o face_n down_o between_o his_o leg_n so_o jesus_n christ_n when_o he_o pray_v for_o lazarus_n he_o groan_v in_o his_o spirit_n and_o weep_v now_o if_o he_o do_v so_o who_o may_v be_v exempt_v if_o any_o might_n then_o do_v not_o thou_o think_v that_o thou_o can_v have_v a_o holy_a reverend_a disposition_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o it_o not_o appear_v in_o the_o body_n it_o can_v be_v therefore_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o this_o be_v call_v the_o heart_n every_o where_o because_o the_o affection_n be_v seat_v there_o and_o now_o the_o body_n be_v according_o affect_v as_o the_o heart_n be_v affect_v for_o what_o affection_n a_o man_n have_v such_o be_v his_o heart_n 2._o consider_v this_o if_o thou_o find_v thyself_o apt_a to_o a_o careless_a negligent_a behaviour_n and_o carriage_n of_o the_o body_n when_o thou_o come_v to_o god_n and_o pretend_v this_o that_o he_o be_v a_o spirit_n and_o must_v be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n i_o say_v consider_v whether_o this_o be_v not_o a_o excuse_n that_o thy_o flesh_n make_v to_o this_o end_n that_o it_o may_v be_v lazy_a and_o have_v some_o ease_n to_o itself_o from_o a_o false_a acception_n of_o that_o principle_n god_n be_v a_o spirit_n that_o so_o it_o may_v give_v way_n to_o a_o outward_a laziness_n of_o the_o body_n therefore_o look_v narrow_o to_o it_o thou_o shall_v stir_v up_o the_o outward_a man_n that_o thou_o thereby_o may_v stir_v up_o the_o inward_a man_n when_o thou_o come_v before_o god_n in_o any_o worship_n 3._o consider_v that_o to_o make_v any_o thing_n a_o ordinance_n there_o must_v be_v a_o application_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n to_o it_o otherwise_o it_o be_v but_o a_o lame_a performance_n and_o god_n will_v not_o reckon_v as_o the_o obedience_n of_o a_o ordinance_n for_o this_o truth_n must_v be_v remember_v that_o a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n perform_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v do_v usual_o carry_v a_o blessing_n with_o it_o a_o prayer_n a_o sacrament_n receive_v as_o it_o ought_v a_o fast_o keep_v as_o it_o shall_v move_v the_o lord_n to_o give_v a_o blessing_n if_o thou_o do_v not_o ponere_fw-la obicem_fw-la thou_o shall_v not_o go_v away_o empty_a for_o it_o be_v always_o accompany_v with_o a_o blessing_n as_o it_o be_v say_v to_o ananias_n act_v 9_o 9_o go_v to_o paul_n for_o behold_v he_o pray_v when_o it_o be_v a_o prayer_n indeed_o god_n can_v hold_v no_o long_o do_v you_o think_v that_o paul_n never_o pray_v before_o when_o he_o be_v a_o pharise_n yes_o but_o it_o be_v not_o as_o he_o ought_v he_o never_o pray_v indeed_o till_o now_o
