mean_v by_o the_o house_n of_o god_n by_o which_o i_o mean_v the_o christian_a oratory_n and_o church_n place_n devote_v and_o set_v apart_o for_o the_o solemn_a and_o public_a worship_n of_o

necessity_n i_o prove_v prove_v prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o church_n prove_v because_o it_o be_v a_o principle_n in_o nature_n the_o very_a common-law_n of_o nature_n do_v ever_o suggest_v unto_o man_n that_o god_n be_v to_o have_v a_o place_n set_v apart_o in_o peculiar_a manner_n to_o his_o worship_n this_o i_o will_v demonstrate_v first_o by_o reason_n and_o then_o confirm_v it_o by_o example_n 1._o reason_n 1._o by_o reason_n i_o suppose_v none_o will_v deny_v but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o main_a principle_n in_o nature_n 1._o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n 2._o that_o he_o be_v to_o

god_n must_v have_v a_o distinct_a and_o peculiar_a time_n consecrate_v and_o set_v apart_o for_o his_o worship_n which_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n it_o will_v then_o also_o follow_v by_o the_o same_o law_n of_o nature_n that_o he_o must_v have_v a_o place_n sanctify_v unto_o he_o therefore_o the_o four_o commandment_n do_v though_o not_o direct_o yet_o by_o necessary_a consequence_n enforce_v and_o enjoin_v a_o holy-place_n as_o well_o as_o a_o holiday_n or_o time_n for_o time_n and_o place_n be_v both_o alike_o necessary_a circumstance_n of_o divine_a worship_n and_o he_o can_v no_o more_o be_v worship_v without_o a_o place_n than_o without_o a_o time_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o time_n ought_v to_o be_v consecrate_v and_o solemn_a so_o must_v the_o

how_o unseasonable_a have_v it_o be_v to_o vindicate_v the_o violation_n of_o typical_a and_o legal_a sanctity_n which_o within_o few_o day_n after_o he_o be_v utter_o to_o abolish_v by_o his_o
