A61664	An essay on a question relating to divine worship viz. whether it be contrary to the apostolical laws of decency and reverence for a man to have his head covered in the time and place of Gods solemn publick worship? : aff. / by Samuel Stoddon ...

apt_o expressive_a of_o it_o be_v both_o profitable_a and_o acceptable_a the_o case_n be_v the_o same_o as_o that_o of_o st._n james_n between_o faith_n and_o work_n either_o be_v alone_o be_v dead_a

it_o be_v unnecessary_a because_o a_o bodily_a exercise_n than_o all_o bodily_a exercise_n must_v be_v condemn_v by_o the_o same_o law_n as_o unnecessary_a in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n the_o give_v of_o alm_n the_o visit_v the_o sick_a the_o go_v to_o hear_v the_o use_n of_o the_o voice_n in_o prayer_n preach_v sing_v hear_v read_v conference_n and_o the_o like_a or_o the_o bow_v the_o knee_n before_o god_n and_o many_o other_o thing_n be_v all_o but_o bodily_a exercise_n and_o if_o therefore_o unnecessary_a this_o will_n at_o once_o throw_v all_o the_o visible_a worship_n of_o a_o deity_n out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o turn_v it_o into_o mere_a atheism_n but_o 4._o god_n have_v require_v we_o to_o glorify_v he_o with_o our_o body_n as_o well_o as_o with_o our_o spirit_n 1_o cor._n 6.20_o and_o on_o this_o account_n because_o both_o be_v god_n both_o be_v he_o and_o by_o both_o he_o will_v be_v worship_v nay_o our_o body_n as_o well_o as_o our_o soul_n be_v the_o member_n of_o christ_n ver_fw-la 15._o and_o the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n ver_fw-la 19_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o impious_a to_o deny_v he_o the_o worship_n of_o both_o but_o this_o be_v more_o than_o enough_o for_o so_o triff_v a_o objection_n ob._n 4._o other_o there_o be_v that_o will_v allow_v it_o to_o be_v necessary_a by_o the_o rule_n of_o decency_n and_o reverence_n to_o be_v uncover_v in_o prayer_n and_o in_o sing_v and_o perhaps_o in_o read_v of_o the_o scripture_n too_o but_o not_o in_o preach_v and_o their_o reason_n be_v because_o in_o preach_v we_o have_v not_o the_o

yet_o it_o seem_v the_o argument_n will_v not_o be_v allow_v in_o that_o ordinance_n though_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o argument_n be_v the_o same_o 2._o either_o those_o private_a opinion_n which_o they_o vent_v be_v true_a or_o false_a if_o they_o be_v true_a then_o be_v they_o one_o where_n or_o other_o express_o or_o consequential_o contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o so_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o sense_n of_o scripture_n and_o the_o very_a mind_n and_o will_n of_o god_n though_o it_o may_v be_v impertinent_o apply_v if_o they_o be_v false_a they_o ought_v to_o be_v reprove_v and_o discipline_v according_a as_o such_o error_n do_v deserve_v but_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a case_n if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o correct_v another_o impertinency_n or_o extravagancy_n but_o by_o our_o own_o irreverence_n and_o indecency_n 3._o i_o will_v know_v what_o other_o reason_n can_v be_v give_v why_o man_n shall_v be_v uncover_v in_o time_n of_o pray_v or_o sing_v etc._n etc._n but_o this_o because_o it_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n who_o worship_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o reverence_n both_o with_o body_n and_o soul_n if_o this_o be_v not_o the_o reason_n i_o will_v fain_o learn_v what_o it_o be_v and_o if_o so_o i_o will_v as_o willing_o understand_v by_o what_o rule_n in_o divinity_n it_o be_v find_v that_o preach_v be_v not_o altogether_o as_o much_o god_n ordinance_n as_o pray_v or_o sing_v or_o any_o other_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o ever_o take_v preach_v to_o be_v the_o great_a ordinance_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o i_o never_o hear_v that_o christ_n send_v forth_o his_o apostle_n to_o sing_v or_o to_o pray_v though_o these_o indeed_o be_v include_v as_o part_n of_o his_o worship_n but_o always_o send_v express_o to_o preach_v the_o denomination_n of_o their_o office_n be_v take_v a_o majori_fw-la now_o if_o one_o ordinance_n be_v to_o be_v reverence_v because_o it_o be_v sacred_o institute_v shall_v another_o which_o be_v more_o express_o institute_v be_v profane_v as_o unholy_a in_o prayer_n and_o sing_v we_o speak_v to_o god_n or_o of_o god_n in_o preach_a god_n speak_v to_o we_o be_v there_o not_o as_o great_a a_o reverence_n due_a when_o god_n speak_v to_o we_o as_o when_o we_o speak_v to_o he_o shall_v i_o speak_v to_o my_o prince_n uncover_v but_o as_o soon_o as_o my_o tale_n be_v out_o clap_v on_o my_o hat_n while_o he_o speak_v to_o i_o as_o if_o i_o owe_v the_o honour_n to_o my_o own_o word_n not_o to_o his_o methinks_v the_o bare_a mention_n of_o such_o unavoidable_a absurdity_n shall_v be_v enough_o to_o make_v the_o frivolous_a objector_n blush_v 4._o it_o seem_v very_o strange_a and_o audacious_a that_o preach_v shall_v be_v exclude_v while_o the_o apostle_n himself_o have_v express_o

it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o prophesy_v have_v so_o forfeit_v its_o honour_n what_o have_v preach_v do_v that_o the_o greek_n scorn_v it_o as_o foolishness_n and_o babble_n the_o jew_n look_v on_o it_o as_o a_o stumbling-block_n and_o christian_n themselves_o so_o degrade_v it_o and_o rob_v it_o of_o its_o due_a reverence_n and_o respect_n what_o have_v preach_v do_v to_o deserve_v this_o why_o it_o have_v beat_v down_o the_o strong_a hold_v of_o the_o devil_n in_o the_o world_n and_o erect_v the_o kingdom_n and_o sceptre_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o for_o this_o will_v the_o devil_n be_v revenge_v on_o it_o as_o he_o be_v able_a because_o he_o can_v banish_v it_o out_o of_o the_o world_n he_o will_v pour_v what_o contempt_n he_o can_v upon_o it_o but_o it_o be_v sad_a that_o such_o as_o call_v themselves_o professor_n shall_v be_v his_o instrument_n in_o so_o curse_v a_o design_n ob._n 5._o other_o it_o seem_v argue_v after_o this_o fashion_n this_o uncover_v of_o

not_o to_o symbolize_v with_o their_o superstition_n ans_fw-fr have_v i_o not_o hear_v it_o from_o some_o that_o pretend_v to_o sobriety_n i_o can_v not_o have_v expect_v such_o a_o objection_n from_o any_o but_o a_o madman_n for_o 1._o by_o this_o rule_n we_o must_v cast_v off_o every_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o the_o external_a worship_n of_o god_n yea_o and_o the_o worship_n itself_o too_o because_o it_o have_v be_v abuse_v by_o such_o as_o be_v formal_a and_o superstitious_a to_o argue_v the_o unlawfulness_n or_o inexpediency_n of_o a_o thing_n from_o the_o abuse_n of_o it_o will_v make_v mad_a work_n in_o the_o world_n for_o what_o good_a thing_n be_v there_o that_o have_v not_o be_v by_o some_o or_o other_o abuse_v 2._o as_o for_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v of_o our_o own_o device_n and_o appointment_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n for_o the_o more_o orderly_a and_o profitable_a performance_n of_o it_o if_o any_o thing_n of_o that_o nature_n in_o length_n of_o time_n come_v to_o be_v general_o abuse_v and_o lose_v their_o first_o end_n and_o use_v and_o can_v be_v restore_v to_o their_o true_a intention_n and_o service_n it_o be_v expedient_a to_o lay_v they_o aside_o and_o to_o supply_v the_o defect_n by_o that_o which_o be_v more_o proper_a to_o reach_v the_o good_a end_n and_o by_o this_o measure_n all_o humane_a institution_n ought_v to_o be_v deal_v with_o but_o the_o matter_n in_o question_n be_v no_o humane_a but_o a_o divine_a institution_n and_o that_o express_v therefore_o he_o that_o will_v cut_v this_o off_o from_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n have_v need_n first_o to_o cut_v it_o out_o of_o his_o bible_n 3._o to_o rest_v in_o the_o bare_a external_a and_o outward_a ceremony_n of_o worship_n be_v gross_a

difficulty_n of_o this_o verse_n viz._n what_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v by_o his_o head_n some_o will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v his_o head_n natural_a or_o proper_a which_o be_v speak_v of_o just_a

be_v the_o head_n mystical_a or_o figurative_a speak_v of_o in_o the_o precedent_a verse_n which_o be_v christ_n and_o so_o the_o dishonour_n reflect_v high_a and_o because_o the_o pinch_n of_o the_o question_n lie_v in_o this_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v the_o more_o to_o clear_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o 1._o if_o a_o man_n be_v cover_v in_o the_o time_n of_o public_a worship_n do_v only_o reflect_v dishonour_n upon_o his_o own_o head_n and_o no_o one_o else_o concern_v in_o it_o but_o himself_o it_o will_v have_v be_v too_o mean_a a_o thing_n for_o the_o apostle_n to_o have_v busy_v himself_o in_o it_o to_o have_v appear_v with_o such_o a_o reproof_n and_o to_o have_v enter_v it_o in_o sacred_a writ_n be_v not_o god_n interest_v in_o the_o case_n it_o will_v be_v but_o a_o profane_a thing_n and_o unworthy_a of_o the_o divine_a record_n therefore_o certain_o there_o be_v some_o one_o more_o than_o man_n concern_v in_o this_o dishonour_n 2._o what_o tolerable_a reason_n can_v there_o be_v give_v of_o this_o aphorism_n in_o the_o former_a verse_n where_o he_o lay_v down_o this_o for_o a_o maxim_n the_o head_n of_o every_o man_n be_v christ_n and_o the_o head_n of_o the_o

christ_n who_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o man_n the_o truth_n be_v i_o know_v not_o where_o to_o seek_v a_o full_a and_o clear_a syllegism_n in_o all_o the_o book_n of_o god_n than_o this_o the_o head_n of_o every_o man_n be_v christ_n every_o man_n that_o pray_v or_o prophesy_v with_o his_o head_n cover_v dishonour_v his_o head_n erg._n i_o wonder_v what_o sophistry_n can_v fair_o avoid_v the_o conclusion_n viz._n he_o that_o pray_v or_o prophesy_v with_o his_o head_n cover_v dishonour_v christ_n 3._o the_o relative_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o be_v join_v with_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d

as_o he_o have_v say_v just_a before_o be_v christ_n 4._o it_o will_v appear_v from_o the_o antithesis_fw-la in_o the_o next_o verse_n but_o every_o woman_n that_o pray_v or_o prophesy_v with_o her_o head_n uncoverd_v dishonour_v her_o head_n who_o can_v we_o reasonable_o understand_v here_o by_o her_o head_n on_o who_o the_o dishonour_n be_v reflect_v but_o the_o man_n who_o he_o say_v be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o woman_n for_o the_o cover_n of_o the_o head_n be_v a_o token_n of_o subjection_n as_o will_v appear_v by_o several_a place_n of_o scripture_n for_o which_o i_o refer_v you_o to_o the_o seven_o verse_n therefore_o the_o uncover_v of_o the_o head_n be_v virtual_o and_o symbolical_o a_o deny_v of_o that_o subjection_n which_o be_v a_o great_a dishonour_n to_o he_o who_o the_o

then_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n we_o must_v restrain_v it_o to_o the_o extraordinary_a prophet_n of_o the_o man_n in_o the_o precedent_a verse_n and_o so_o this_o rule_n of_o decency_n both_o for_o the_o man_n and_o the_o woman_n must_v cease_v with_o the_o cessation_n of_o these_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o the_o occasion_n will_v have_v be_v too_o slender_a for_o
