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 after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o though_o by_o the_o frequent_a conversion_n of_o jew_n to_o their_o church_n they_o have_v lay_v by_o the_o grosser_n part_n of_o their_o idolatry_n yet_o they_o keep_v their_o idol_n and_o grave_v image_n in_o their_o house_n and_o worship_v according_a to_o our_o saviour_n word_n they_o know_v not_o what_o in_o this_o respect_n our_o saviour_n adjudge_v the_o cause_n to_o the_o jewish_a side_n allege_v that_o though_o the_o ceremonial_a part_n of_o their_o worship_n be_v now_o expire_a yet_o the_o substance_n thereof_o shall_v never_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 gospel-service_n from_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o jewish_a law_n which_o in_o scripture_n be_v call_v carnal_a ordinance_n and_o then_o in_o truth_n to_o divide_v it_o from_o the_o samaritan_n 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 his_o service_n as_o the_o samaritan_n do_v by_o a_o mixture_n of_o heathenish_a superstition_n and_o idol_n which_o be_v call_v lie_v and_o those_o who_o thus_o worship_v the_o father_n in_o spirit_n 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

miserable_o rend_v our_o nation_n and_o do_v lively_o represent_v unto_o we_o the_o ancient_a discord_n between_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o samaritan_n and_o herein_o i_o must_v beg_v your_o favour_n and_o patience_n if_o i_o be_o necessary_o lead_v not_o by_o my_o own_o inclination_n but_o by_o the_o method_n of_o my_o text_n to_o touch_v upon_o some_o of_o those_o sore_n which_o so_o unhappy_o

all_o the_o conviction_n of_o reason_n if_o it_o can_v plead_v either_o ease_n or_o interest_n in_o its_o behalf_n for_o though_o all_o nation_n do_v agree_v in_o the_o certainty_n of_o a_o god_n and_o the_o necessity_n of_o his_o worship_n yet_o when_o man_n think_v themselves_o so_o wonderful_o wise_a that_o neither_o the_o height_n nor_o depth_n of_o his_o wisdom_n be_v beyond_o his_o

more_o become_v the_o heathen_n than_o his_o disciple_n the_o king_n of_o the_o gentile_n you_o know_v exercise_v dominion_n but_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o among_o you_o our_o father_n be_v worship_v at_o rome_n it_o may_v be_v so_o so_o do_v jacob_n in_o the_o mountain_n of_o samaria_n when_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o god_n consist_v only_o in_o he_o and_o his_o father_n house_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v no_o plea_n against_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o temple_n when_o god_n have_v choose_v that_o place_n for_o his_o habitation_n and_o our_o father_n who_o themselves_o worship_v at_o

must_v go_v up_o certain_o jerusalem_n that_o city_n of_o peace_n have_v be_v a_o fit_a place_n for_o the_o seat_n of_o that_o universal_a empire_n than_o rome_n which_o be_v always_o the_o seat_n of_o war_n and_o only_o make_v great_a by_o tyranny_n and_o invasion_n upon_o all_o the_o world_n if_o that_o time_n of_o liberty_n be_v come_v when_o our_o worship_n shall_v not_o be_v confine_v either_o to_o the_o temple_n of_o jerusalem_n or_o the_o mountain_n of_o samaria_n we_o may_v also_o conclude_v that_o neither_o at_o rome_n shall_v we_o worship_v the_o father_n but_o yet_o our_o father_n worship_v at_o rome_n it_o be_v true_a but_o rome_n be_v not_o then_o what_o now_o it_o be_v their_o church_n and_o faith_n be_v then_o as_o glorious_a as_o now_o it_o be_v offensive_a to_o all_o the_o world_n it_o exercise_v then_o no_o unjust_a usurpation_n either_o upon_o the_o person_n or_o conscience_n of_o man_n but_o teach_v obedience_n to_o god_n and_o his_o vicegerent_n upon_o

and_o since_o they_o boast_v so_o much_o of_o their_o antiquity_n we_o must_v needs_o reckon_v the_o date_n of_o their_o worship_n like_o that_o of_o the_o samaritan_n not_o from_o their_o father_n jacob_n a_o holy_a patriarch_n but_o from_o salmaneser_n a_o babylonish_n prince_n again_o our_o father_n worship_v in_o this_o mountain_n and_o therefore_o so_o do_v we_o say_v the_o samaritan_n thus_o also_o many_o among_o we_o say_v our_o father_n the_o apostle_n and_o primitive_a martyr_n of_o the_o church_n worship_v in_o mountain_n den_n cave_n and_o private_a house_n and_o therefore_o so_o may_v we_o also_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o apostle_n worship_v in_o the_o temple_n and_o public_a assembly_n also_o when_o they_o may_v be_v permit_v and_o it_o be_v only_o the_o

bare_a account_n of_o christian_a liberty_n ground_v upon_o that_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o move_v justifiable_a than_o that_o of_o the_o samaritan_n from_o the_o jewish_a church_n upon_o the_o authority_n of_o their_o father_n jacob._n it_o be_v as_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v our_o father_n the_o apostle_n admit_v none_o into_o the_o church_n by_o baptism_n unless_o they_o can_v first_o give_v a_o account_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o therefore_o now_o also_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o baptise_v infant_n that_o have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n or_o thus_o our_o father_n abel_n enoch_n and_o other_o be_v force_v to_o marry_v their_o own_o sister_n when_o there_o be_v no_o other_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v do_v the_o like_a here_o we_o
