respect_n to_o the_o outward_a and_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n under_o the_o state_n of_o the_o gospel_n first_o spirit_n and_o truth_n be_v not_o here_o oppose_v either_o to_o outward_a bodily_a

unto_o you_o how_o the_o question_n between_o the_o samaritan_n and_o our_o saviour_n be_v about_o two_o worship_n one_o false_a and_o the_o other_o gross_a one_o idolatrous_a and_o the_o other_o legal_a one_o by_o the_o jew_n to_o the_o true_a god_n the_o other_o by_o the_o samaritan_n to_o they_o know_v not_o what_o to_o these_o two_o worship_n our_o bless_a lord_n and_o master_n in_o the_o text_n oppose_v these_o two_o spirit_n and_o truth_n to_o the_o gross_a legal_a and_o jewish_a way_n of_o worship_n to_o that_o he_o oppose_v the_o spirit_n to_o the_o false_a idolatrous_a and_o samaritan_n way_n to_o that_o he_o oppose_v the_o truth_n so_o that_o to_o worship_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n be_v no_o more_o according_a to_o the_o letter_n than_o only_o thus_o the_o hour_n be_v come_v and_o now_o be_v when_o the_o law_n shall_v give_v way_n to_o the_o gospel_n moses_n to_o christ_n the_o jewish_a worship_n which_o be_v then_o by_o bullock_n goat_n and_o lamb_n to_o a_o spiritual_a worship_n which_o shall_v require_v no_o such_o sacrifice_n no_o such_o oblation_n and_o in_o order_n to_o the_o samaritan_n thus_o the_o time_n be_v come_v and_o now_o be_v when_o you_o shall_v be_v better_o inform_v in_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n when_o you_o shall_v know_v what_o to_o worship_n and_o than_o you_o shall_v find_v neither_o gerasin_n to_o be_v the_o place_n nor_o what_o you_o now_o worship_n to_o be_v the_o object_n for_o the_o true_a worshipper_n they_o shall_v worship_v the_o father_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n so_o that_o by_o spirit_n and_o truth_n there_o be_v nothing_o stand_v here_o exclude_v but_o either_o worship_v the_o wrong_a object_n as_o do_v the_o samaritan_n or_o the_o right_a object_n the_o wrong_a way_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v even_o to_o this_o very_a day_n huge_o then_o be_v they_o mistake_v who_o conceit_n to_o worship_v in_o spirit_n be_v a_o discharge_n to_o bodily_a or_o outward_a worship_n when_o the_o opposition_n and_o the_o discharge_v it_o only_o be_v against_o mosaic_a and_o samaritan_n against_o legal_a and_o against_o idolatrous_a worship_n yea_o so_o far_o be_v our_o saviour_n in_o those_o word_n from_o exclude_v bodily_a and_o outward_a worship_n that_o those_o who_o know_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o greek_a know_v he_o here_o use_v a_o word_n so_o proper_a to_o bodily_a and_o outward_a expression_n that_o the_o spirit_n alone_o can_v do_v it_o the_o word_n be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o signify_v a_o outward_a prostration_n and_o a_o lowly_a humble_v of_o the_o body_n so_o that_o the_o true_a worshipper_n of_o the_o father_n when_o in_o a_o godly_a sear_n and_o with_o a_o religious_a reverence_n they_o bow_v down_o and_o humble_a their_o body_n before_o he_o they_o then_o do_v what_o the_o text_n require_v they_o do_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d they_o do_v worship_n in_o spirit_n yea_o and_o in_o truth_n too_o and_o as_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o oppose_v to_o bodily_a worship_n so_o neither_o be_v it_o to_o any_o outward_a and_o exterior_a evidence_n or_o express_v of_o any_o grace_n or_o virtue_n for_o to_o forbid_v grace_n or_o virtue_n to_o show_v forth_o itself_o be_v to_o take_v splendour_n from_o light_n and_o to_o restrain_v the_o exercise_n of_o all_o inward_a piety_n indeed_o if_o we_o close_o consider_v of_o the_o mosaic_a and_o outward_a worship_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o wit_n sacrifice_n oblation_n incense_n and_o the_o like_a these_o be_v not_o account_v the_o visible_a expression_n of_o any_o inward_a grace_n nor_o be_v these_o the_o outward_a act_n of_o any_o interior_a piety_n but_o those_o be_v the_o shadow_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v and_o the_o representative_a type_n of_o what_o be_v substantial_o to_o be_v verify_v when_o the_o gospel_n come_v and_o therefore_o no_o wonder_n if_o spirit_n and_o truth_n both_o stand_v oppose_v to_o these_o but_o bodily_a expression_n and_o outward_a gesture_n sign_n and_o ceremony_n under_o the_o gospel_n these_o be_v the_o outward_a evidence_n of_o inward_a grace_n the_o outward_a manifestation_n of_o inward_a piety_n as_o devout_o to_o frequent_v christian_a church_n and_o to_o be_v present_a at_o the_o public_a worship_n it_o be_v a_o outward_a expression_n of_o a_o inward_a grace_n to_o wit_n of_o christian_a religion_n for_o hereby_o we_o declare_v ourselves_o such_o who_o profess_v to_o worship_v the_o father_n and_o jesus_n christ_n who_o he_o have_v send_v to_o profess_v with_o the_o mouth_n it_o be_v a_o outward_a expression_n of_o a_o inward_a faith_n to_o

receive_v the_o sacrament_n a_o outward_a express_v of_o a_o inward_a piety_n so_o that_o if_o spirit_n and_o truth_n stand_v oppose_v to_o these_o there_o can_v be_v no_o visible_a religion_n nor_o no_o outward_a godliness_n in_o the_o world_n and_o this_o proper_o lead_v to_o the_o second_o proposition_n which_o be_v to_o show_v a_o public_a worship_n in_o spirit_n without_o truth_n the_o outward_a expression_n can_v be_v now_o that_o i_o say_v a_o public_a worship_n it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o my_o text_n require_v for_o the_o whole_a difference_n between_o our_o saviour_n and_o the_o samaritan_n it_o be_v not_o you_o have_v see_v about_o inward_a or_o private_a but_o mere_o about_o outward_a and_o about_o public_a worship_n for_o gerasin_n and_o jerusalem_n they_o be_v the_o

it_o even_o hence_o inevitable_o follow_v that_o spirit_n and_o truth_n can_v here_o stand_v oppose_v to_o visible_a bodily_a and_o exterior_a worship_n for_o if_o there_o must_v be_v under_o the_o

of_o the_o whole_a man_n spirit_n and_o truth_n that_o be_v both_o for_o as_o the_o outward_a without_o the_o inward_a be_v mere_a hypocrisy_n even_o so_o the_o spirit_n without_o truth_n the_o mind_n without_o the_o member_n will_v make_v but_o a_o halt_n and_o a_o halve_a sacrifice_n yea_o in_o public_a to_o worship_v in_o spirit_n without_o manifestation_n of_o that_o spirit_n it_o be_v both_o
