to_o see_v the_o bishop_n evidence_n for_o this_o knowledge_n for_o in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o this_o paragraph_n he_o turn_v we_o to_o the_o scripture_n who_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o it_o make_v we_o unintelligible_a and_o banterer_n in_o religion_n for_o express_v we_o in_o the_o term_n of_o it_o which_o may_v well_o merit_v the_o bishop_n serious_a reflection_n his_o nine_o paragraph_n

say_v if_o you_o mean_v that_o outward_a worship_n ought_v to_o be_v accompany_v with_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a worship_n it_o be_v wat_fw-mi we_o preach_v press_v and_o practice_n but_o if_o as_o it_o will_v seem_v you_o mean_v that_o all_o the_o worship_n god_n now_o require_v be_v from_o the_o inward_a man_n or_o from_o the_o spirit_n this_o be_v abominable_o false_a for_o our_o body_n be_v god_n handiwork_n and_o god_n by_o the_o apostle_n command_v glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o in_o your_o spirit_n which_o be_v god_n not_o to_o tell_v you_o that_o you_o yourselves_o now_o a-days_o perform_v somewhat_o of_o bodily_a worship_n indeed_o we_o do_v and_o ever_o do_v and_o ever_o shall_v i_o hope_v while_o we_o have_v body_n to_o worship_n god_n in_o we_o be_v so_o ●ar_o from_o deny_v the_o body_n what_o share_n be_v ●ue_v to_o it_o that_o with_o the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 6._o ●9_n we_o say_v what_o know_v you_o not_o that_o your_o bo●ies_n be_v the_o temple_n of_o

body_n be_v under_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n how_o much_o more_o reasonable_a be_v it_o to_o believe_v that_o it_o dwell_v in_o our_o soul_n and_o that_o our_o heart_n must_v be_v prepare_v and_o animate_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n in_o all_o our_o devotion_n towards_o god_n but_o two_o thing_n i_o must_v remark_n to_o the_o bishop_n first_o that_o we_o do_v not_o give_v he_o the_o least_o occasion_n to_o suspect_v we_o deny_v bodily_a worship_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o gospel-truth_n now_o in_o question_n for_o it_o be_v plain_a there_o by_o these_o word_n worship_n in_o this_o day_n be_v inward_a and_o spiritual_a that_o we_o only_o distinguish_v between_o gospel_n worship_n and_o the_o ceremonial_a and_o pompous_a worship_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o by_o spiritual_a woship_n we_o understand_v pray_v praise_v and_o preach_v by_o the_o preparation_n and_o sanctification_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o the_o bishop_n do_v not_o and_o i_o hope_v dare_v not_o deny_v yet_o unkind_o and_o i_o think_v unjust_o bring_v in_o his_o as_o it_o will_v seem_v to_o make_v we_o by_o a_o uncharitable_a innuendo_fw-la look_n to_o his_o reader_n as_o if_o we_o deny_v bodily_a worship_n and_o yet_o to_o avoid_v so_o hard_a a_o chapter_n as_o maintain_v this_o aspersion_n will_v prove_v to_o the_o bishop_n he_o be_v force_v to_o confess_v that_o now_o a-days_o we_o perform_v somewhat_o of_o bodily_a worship_n as_o if_o we_o do_v not_o perform_v any_o former_o and_o but_o a_o little_a now_o which_o show_v not_o that_o candour_n that_o his_o character_n owe_v we_o and_o but_o too_o plain_o tell_v every_o impartial_a reader_n how_o muck_n more_o mind_n he_o have_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o wrong_n than_o in_o the_o right_n i_o must_v confess_v we_o have_v le●_n pomp_n and_o gaudiness_n in_o our_o worship_n as_o wel●_n as_o in_o our_o clothes_n than_o be_v the_o custom_n o●_n some_o other_o church_n and_o think_v it_o our_o

will_v be_v allow_v we_o to_o be_v grave_a solemn_a and_o fervent_a the_o other_o remark_n i_o make_v upon_o the_o bishop_n exception_n be_v this_o that_o the_o spiritual_a worship_n he_o there_o
