so_o much_o for_o the_o place_n 2._o as_o for_o the_o object_n of_o their_o worship_n the_o answer_n be_v you_o worship_v you_o know_v not_o what_o we_o know_v what_o we_o worship_v for_o salvation_n be_v of_o the_o jew_n here_o the_o samaritan_n church_n stand_v in_o great_a need_n of_o a_o reformation_n for_o though_o they_o fear_v the_o lord_n yet_o they_o serve_v their_o own_o god_n also_o

only_a true_a god_n and_o therefore_o salvation_n be_v of_o the_o jew_n and_o from_o they_o it_o shall_v be_v derive_v to_o all_o other_o nation_n but_o 3._o though_o the_o jew_n do_v worship_v the_o true_a god_n yet_o the_o manner_n of_o worship_n be_v imperfect_a and_o deficient_a even_o among_o they_o and_o the_o imperfection_n thereof_o consist_v herein_o while_o their_o service_n depend_v upon_o outward_a form_n alone_o and_o they_o be_v teach_v to_o offer_v up_o the_o fruit_n of_o their_o bodily_a labour_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o soul_n whilst_o they_o measure_v their_o

unto_o god_n with_o their_o mouth_n when_o their_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o he_o when_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v end_v their_o work_n be_v do_v and_o they_o can_v return_v to_o their_o sin_n with_o this_o satisfaction_n that_o the_o scape-goat_n in_o the_o wilderness_n have_v carry_v off_o all_o their_o transgression_n that_o be_v pass_v and_o the_o goat_n in_o their_o fold_n can_v expiate_v for_o all_o that_o be_v to_o come_v thus_o they_o think_v they_o may_v obtain_v forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n without_o any_o reformation_n of_o their_o mind_n for_o their_o flesh_n be_v always_o willing_a but_o their_o spirit_n be_v always_o weak_a thus_o the_o jew_n worship_v the_o true_a god_n by_o type_n and_o figure_n but_o the_o samaritan_n worship_v type_n and_o figure_n for_o the_o true_a god_n that_o worship_n be_v true_a but_o imperfect_a this_o be_v neither_o perfect_a nor_o true_a therefore_o for_o the_o instruction_n of_o both_o jew_n and_o samaritan_n our_o saviour_n tell_v they_o that_o the_o hour_n come_v and_o now_o when_o the_o true_a worshipper_n shall_v worship_v the_o father_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n in_o spirit_n first_o to_o distinguish_v the_o

idolatry_n and_o all_o other_o superstitious_a error_n to_o worship_v in_o spirit_n therefore_o be_v to_o bow_v the_o knee_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o not_o content_v ourselves_o with_o the_o outward_a devotion_n of_o the_o body_n alone_o which_o can_v not_o make_v he_o that_o do_v the_o service_n perfect_a as_o pertain_v to_o the_o conscience_n but_o to_o offer_v up_o the_o only_a acceptable_a sacrifice_n of_o a_o break_a and_o contrite_a spirit_n to_o worship_n god_n in_o truth_n be_v to_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o he_o have_v direct_v without_o profane_v

and_o in_o truth_n our_o saviour_n term_v the_o true_a worshipper_n for_o the_o discovery_n of_o who_o i_o proceed_v in_o the_o three_o place_n to_o apply_v the_o former_a discourse_n to_o the_o
