worship_v the_o father_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n for_o the_o father_n seek_v such_o to_o worship_v he_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o they_o that_o worship_v he_o must_v worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n in_o which_o description_n of_o gospel-worship_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n include_v 1._o that_o we_o must_v worship_v god_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o pure_a and_o infinite_a spirit_n 2._o under_o the_o character_n of_o a_o father_n 3._o with_o the_o mind_n and_o spirit_n but_o he_o have_v find_v little_a here_o to_o except_v against_o only_o two_o or_o three_o fanatical_a principle_n which_o shall_v be_v brief_o consider_v 85._o the_o first_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n must_v not_o be_v seek_v for_o in_o house_n of_o wood_n and_o stone_n because_o he_o must_v be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n as_o a_o spirit_n it_o shall_v be_v which_o differ_v great_o he_o must_v not_o be_v worship_v by_o any_o material_a or_o sensible_a representation_n by_o material_a image_n and_o picture_n those_o word_n except_o your_o righteousness_n exceed_v the_o righteousness_n of_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n you_o shall_v in_o no_o wise_n enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n cut_v off_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v external_a in_o religion_n here_o he_o have_v jumble_v thing_n together_o of_o a_o different_a nature_n i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o last_o first_o because_o it_o concern_v what_o i_o have_v already_o account_v for_o that_o the_o christian_a religion_n admit_v of_o no_o external_a nor_o ceremonial_a righteousness_n the_o great_a design_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o make_v we_o true_o good_a that_o we_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n there_o be_v nothing_o our_o lord_n do_v more_o severe_o condemn_v than_o a_o external_a and_o pharasaical_a righteousness_n except_o your_o righteousness_n exceed_v the_o righteousness_n etc._n etc._n now_o this_o not_o these_o word_n mere_o but_o this_o reject_v a_o external_a righteousness_n cut_v off_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v external_a in_o religion_n at_o a_o blow_n because_o it_o cut_v off_o all_o hope_n and_o reliance_n on_o a_o external_a righteousness_n and_o i_o believe_v man_n will_v not_o be_v fond_a of_o such_o superstition_n when_o they_o know_v they_o will_v do_v they_o no_o good_a now_o what_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o this_o do_v not_o these_o principle_n remit_v all_o christian_n to_o the_o silent_a meeting_n of_o quaker_n exclude_v sing_v of_o psalm_n that_o be_v because_o it_o exclude_v a_o external_a righteousness_n it_o exclude_v all_o external_a act_n of_o worship_n well_o rhyme_v father_n brain_n and_o stair_n since_o god_n will_v be_v worship_v as_o a_o spirit_n he_o will_v now_o confine_v his_o peculiar_a presence_n to_o no_o place_n as_o he_o former_o do_v to_o the_o temple_n at_o jerusalem_n for_o though_o for_o typical_a reason_n he_o have_v a_o typical_a and_o symbolical_a presence_n under_o the_o jewish_a dispensation_n yet_o this_o be_v not_o so_o agreeable_a to_o his_o nature_n who_o be_v a_o spirit_n and_o will_v now_o be_v worship_v as_o a_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o must_v not_o now_o be_v seek_v for_o in_o house_n of_o wood_n and_o stone_n this_o say_v he_o exclude_v the_o use_n of_o church_n rather_o than_o barn_n that_o be_v because_o god_n do_v not_o confine_v his_o presence_n to_o one_o place_n because_o he_o have_v no_o symbolical_a presence_n therefore_o there_o must_v be_v no_o place_n set_v apart_o from_o common_a use_n for_o religious_a worship_n thus_o god_n will_v be_v worship_v as_o a_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o not_o by_o image_n or_o material_a representation_n which_o be_v so_o unlike_o a_o spirit_n that_o be_v say_v he_o not_o by_o such_o material_a representation_n as_o sing_v of_o psalm_n well_o guess_v for_o a_o jesuit_n the_o second_o fanatical_a principle_n be_v this_o ibid._n god_n and_o christ_n be_v not_o present_a in_o the_o assembly_n of_o christian_n by_o a_o figurative_a and_o symbolical_a presence_n there_o be_v no_o symbolical_a presence_n of_o god_n under_o the_o gospel_n though_o god_n fill_v all_o place_n it_o be_v a_o great_a absurdity_n to_o talk_v of_o more_o symbolical_a presence_n than_o one_o for_o a_o symbolical_a presence_n confine_v the_o unlimited_a presence_n of_o god_n to_o a_o certain_a place_n in_o

only_o of_o christ_n break_a body_n and_o of_o his_o blood_n shed_v for_o we_o and_o the_o intention_n of_o it_o be_v not_o to_o represent_v christ_n bodily_a present_n with_o we_o but_o to_o be_v a_o

they_o be_v a_o symbolical_a presence_n must_v be_v the_o symbol_n of_o his_o bodily_a presence_n his_o three_o fanatical_a principle_n be_v this_o if_o god_n be_v better_o worship_v before_o a_o image_n than_o without_o one_o than_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v more_o confine_v to_o that_o place_n where_o the_o image_n be_v i_o can_v see_v how_o to_o avoid_v this_o whereas_o there_o be_v no_o appropriate_a place_n of_o worship_n under_o the_o gospel_n and_o it_o be_v the_o same_o case_n though_o the_o image_n be_v not_o appropriate_v to_o any_o place_n but_o carry_v about_o with_o

of_o the_o argument_n be_v this_o if_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n must_v not_o be_v confine_v to_o any_o place_n or_o symbolical_a presence_n than_o he_o must_v not_o be_v worship_v by_o a_o image_n for_o a_o image_n be_v a_o representative_a presence_n of_o god_n or_o of_o the_o saint_n and_o man_n go_v to_o image_n as_o to_o divine_a presence_n to_o worship_n so_o that_o wherever_o the_o

have_v a_o symbolical_a presence_n so_o that_o the_o whole_a force_n of_o the_o argument_n lie_v upon_o a_o image_n be_v a_o symbolical_a presence_n and_o this_o he_o tell_v we_o be_v a_o argument_n for_o all_o dissenter_n against_o a_o liturgy_n or_o set-form_n of_o prayer_n i_o suppose_v he_o mean_v the_o book_n of_o the_o liturgy_n or_o form_n of_o prayer_n for_o if_o god_n be_v better_o
