man_n to_o the_o holy_a trinity_n be_v but_o shadow_n and_o imperfect_a draught_n which_o can_v never_o come_v up_o to_o the_o original_a of_o all_o being_n who_o by_o a_o incomprehensible_a

his_o duty_n v._o now_o as_o the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n be_v but_o one_o god_n one_o and_o the_o same_o substance_n so_o all_o those_o duty_n which_o seem_v to_o relate_v particular_o

external_a duty_n be_v arbitrary_a and_o indifferent_a at_o least_o in_o their_o first_o foundation_n and_o original_a but_o the_o spiritual_a duty_n be_v in_o themselves_o absolute_o necessary_a we_o may_v dispense_v with_o outward_a duty_n but_o we_o can_v never_o dispense_v with_o the_o other_o they_o depend_v on_o a_o inviolable_a law_n the_o immutable_a and_o necessary_a order_n outward_a duty_n of_o themselves_o do_v not_o sanctify_v those_o that_o render_v they_o to_o god_n they_o receive_v their_o worth_n and_o value_v only_o from_o the_o spiritual_a duty_n which_o accompany_v
