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

you_o know_v many_o year_n after_o for_o it_o be_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o reign_n and_o yet_o because_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v clear_o to_o he_o he_o be_v bid_v by_o a_o clear_a command_n go_v and_o kill_v all_o the_o amalekite_n and_o leave_v not_o any_o of_o they_o alive_a saul_n now_o have_v a_o heart_n contemn_v god_n in_o this_o commandment_n therefore_o also_o god_n come_v to_o a_o resolution_n and_o decree_n to_o cast_v he_o off_o though_o saul_n live_v many_o year_n after_o yet_o you_o can_v see_v no_o change_n in_o he_o there_o be_v no_o alteration_n in_o his_o outward_a condition_n but_o say_v he_o and_o it_o be_v most_o fearful_a god_n do_v not_o repent_v it_o be_v not_o with_o he_o as_o it_o be_v with_o man_n for_o he_o may_v be_v entreat_v and_o may_v repent_v but_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o as_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v repent_v consider_v this_o you_o that_o have_v clear_a commandment_n from_o god_n you_o that_o have_v be_v tell_v that_o you_o ought_v to_o be_v conscionable_a in_o your_o call_n that_o you_o ought_v to_o pray_v in_o your_o family_n if_o you_o will_v be_v still_o break_v the_o lord_n will_v and_o live_v idle_o in_o your_o call_n and_o rebellious_o sin_n against_o god_n live_v as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o god_n in_o the_o world_n take_v heed_n lest_o the_o lord_n reject_v you_o and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v it_o consider_v that_o he_o be_v a_o unchangeable_a god_n and_o that_o all_o his_o decree_n be_v immutable_a consider_v that_o place_n he_o swear_v in_o his_o wrath_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o his_o rest_n it_o be_v not_o long_o after_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n come_v out_o of_o egypt_n yet_o ten_o time_n they_o provoke_v he_o before_o he_o declare_v this_o resolution_n and_o many_o of_o they_o live_v forty_o year_n after_o but_o because_o many_o of_o they_o do_v see_v clear_o that_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n they_o do_v see_v his_o miracle_n and_o his_o work_n that_o he_o have_v do_v among_o they_o and_o yet_o because_o they_o still_o rebel_v he_o swear_v in_o his_o wrath_n that_o they_o shall_v never_o enter_v into_o his_o rest_n it_o be_v a_o fearful_a case_n when_o god_n shall_v do_v this_o as_o he_o do_v it_o even_o all_o you_o that_o hear_v i_o this_o day_n there_o be_v a_o time_n i_o be_o persuade_v when_o the_o lord_n pronounce_v such_o a_o decree_n upon_o such_o a_o man_n say_v i_o have_v reject_v he_o yet_o no_o man_n see_v it_o no_o not_o he_o himself_o but_o he_o come_v to_o church_n and_o hear_v the_o word_n from_o day_n to_o day_n but_o yet_o remember_v that_o god_n be_v unchangeable_a for_o you_o see_v the_o jew_n in_o jeremy's_n time_n they_o live_v under_o jeremy's_n ministry_n almost_o twenty_o year_n but_o yet_o at_o the_o last_o he_o reject_v they_o and_o he_o will_v not_o be_v entreat_v though_o jeremy_n and_o the_o people_n do_v pray_v to_o he_o there_o be_v three_o place_n for_o it_o jer._n 7.16_o therefore_o pray_v
