commandment_n which_o therefore_o set_v down_o the_o proper_a punishment_n for_o this_o sin_n so_o by_o love_n of_o god_n be_v not_o mean_v love_n of_o god_n at_o large_a which_o be_v see_v in_o

from_o that_o negative_a any_o ordinary_a capacity_n may_v ready_o see_v what_o the_o affirmative_a be_v he_o say_v again_o second_o that_o if_o institute_v worship_n be_v contain_v under_o the_o affirmative_a part_n of_o the_o second_o commandment_n 2._o than_o this_o commandment_n be_v mutable_a because_o god_n be_v thus_o worship_v one_o way_n before_o christ_n and_o another_o way_n since_o

object_n or_o thing_n command_v it_o may_v be_v in_o that_o respect_n mutable_a for_o it_o be_v a_o immutable_a law_n that_o god_n must_v be_v worship_v with_o his_o own_o worship_n such_o as_o he_o shall_v institute_v and_o this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o second_o commandment_n itself_o yet_o the_o thing_n institute_v wherein_o there_o be_v only_o a_o application_n of_o the_o command_n may_v be_v mutable_a the_o second_o commandment_n do_v not_o immutable_o bind_v to_o the_o observance_n of_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a institute_v worship_n only_o but_o to_o observe_v god_n

will_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o to_o worship_n god_n according_a to_o his_o own_o institution_n be_v not_o to_o worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n be_v it_o rather_o a_o carnal_a

may_v worship_v stock_n and_o stone_n and_o image_n of_o creep_a thing_n and_o fourfooted_a beast_n in_o the_o place_n of_o god_n himself_o terminative_o and_o god_n may_v account_v of_o all_o their_o

together_o be_v to_o be_v at_o this_o time_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n but_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o therefore_o this_o public_a worship_n itself_o fall_v direct_o under_o this_o command_n for_o if_o public_a assembly_n be_v as_o some_o think_v a_o part_n of_o natural_a worship_n so_o as_o that_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n direct_v all_o man_n dwell_v together_o as_o creature_n to_o worship_n god_n together_o public_o as_o creator_n than_o this_o worship_n fall_v direct_o under_o the_o first_o not_o fourth_z commandment_n where_o natural_a worship_n be_v direct_o command_v but_o if_o public_a assembly_n be_v consider_v as_o distinct_a church_n political_o unite_v and_o combine_v public_o to_o worship_n god_n then_o such_o church_n consider_v thus_o as_o political_a not_o

to_o see_v that_o all_o other_o do_v so_o also_o it_o be_v true_a civil_a magistrate_n may_v abuse_v their_o power_n judge_n amiss_o and_o think_v that_o to_o be_v the_o command_n of_o god_n which_o
