self_n while_o we_o be_v in_o his_o presence_n we_o must_v honour_v god_n too_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o be_v by_o the_o gravity_n and_o reverence_n of_o our_o word_n and_o action_n posture_n habit_n behaviour_n etc._n etc._n when_o we_o approach_v his_o presence_n there_o may_v be_v indeed_o and_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o particular_a expression_n of_o civil_a and_o religious_a honour_n that_o which_o may_v become_v a_o prince_n be_v not_o always_o fit_a for_o religious_a worship_n and_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n must_v not_o always_o be_v give_v to_o prince_n but_o the_o comparison_n consist_v only_o in_o this_o that_o since_o the_o external_a sign_n of_o honour_n consist_v in_o our_o word_n posture_n look_n habit_n behaviour_n and_o suchlike_a external_a circumstance_n of_o action_n as_o he_o who_o do_v not_o observe_v such_o a_o good_a decorum_n in_o all_o these_o as_o be_v require_v in_o civil_a honour_n affront_v the_o majesty_n of_o his_o prince_n so_o do_v he_o who_o neglect_v such_o a_o decency_n in_o these_o thing_n as_o be_v proper_a to_o religious_a honour_n profane_v the_o worship_n and_o pollute_v the_o name_n and_o majesty_n of_o god_n but_o still_o we_o want_v some_o rule_n whereby_o to_o determine_v what_o that_o decency_n be_v in_o these_o external_a circumstance_n which_o be_v proper_a for_o religious_a worship_n and_o to_o explain_v this_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o these_o three_o rule_n i._o that_o the_o external_a decency_n of_o worship_n consist_v in_o a_o peculiar_a regard_n to_o the_o majesty_n of_o that_o god_n who_o be_v the_o sole_a object_n of_o our_o worship_n ii_o in_o a_o regard_n to_o the_o particular_a nature_n of_o those_o act_n of_o worship_n in_o which_o we_o be_v employ_v iii_o in_o a_o regard_n to_o the_o quality_n condition_n and_o relation_n of_o those_o person_n who_o worship_n god_n i._o the_o external_a decency_n of_o worship_n consist_v in_o a_o peculiar_a regard_n to_o the_o majesty_n of_o that_o god_n who_o be_v the_o sole_a object_n of_o our_o worship_n this_o rule_n god_n himself_o give_v we_o by_o the_o prophet_n malachi_n a_o son_n honour_v his_o father_n 6._o and_o a_o servant_n his_o master_n if_o then_o i_o be_v a_o father_n where_o be_v my_o honour_n if_o i_o be_v a_o master_n where_o be_v my_o fear_n which_o plain_o signify_v that_o we_o must_v worship_v god_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o be_v expressive_a of_o a_o just_a honour_n and_o reverence_n for_o his_o excellent_a majesty_n as_o he_o add_v 14._o for_o i_o be_o a_o great_a king_n say_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n and_o my_o name_n be_v dreadful_a among_o the_o heathen_a now_o we_o express_v a_o just_a regard_n to_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n these_o two_o way_n 1._o when_o we_o worship_v he_o with_o all_o the_o external_a signification_n of_o awe_n and_o reverence_n when_o our_o word_n and_o action_n posture_n and_o behaviour_n declare_v to_o all_o the_o world_n what_o a_o great_a sense_n we_o have_v of_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n and_o that_o infinite_a distance_n which_o be_v between_o he_o and_o we_o that_o be_v when_o our_o word_n be_v few_o and_o wise_a as_o solomon_n direct_v when_o we_o worship_v and_o fall_v down_o and_o kneel_v before_o the_o lord_n our_o maker_n and_o not_o only_o bind_v our_o heart_n but_o our_o body_n to_o he_o and_o be_v very_o cautious_a of_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o least_o indecency_n in_o his_o presence_n 2._o then_o we_o honour_v the_o divine_a majesty_n when_o we_o worship_v he_o in_o a_o peculiar_a and_o appropriate_a manner_n and_o do_v make_v a_o visible_a distinction_n between_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o all_o the_o other_o action_n of_o our_o life_n the_o sanctification_n of_o god_n name_n consist_v in_o the_o peculiarity_n of_o his_o worship_n when_o we_o separate_v he_o from_o all_o other_o being_n and_o ascribe_v incommunicable_a and_o eminent_a perfection_n to_o he_o and_o therefore_o that_o worship_n be_v most_o suitable_a to_o the_o divine_a majesty_n to_o his_o peculiar_a and_o incommunicable_a perfection_n which_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o most_o peculiar_a and_o distinguish_a manner_n we_o know_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n under_o the_o law_n be_v by_o his_o own_o command_n perform_v in_o the_o most_o peculiar_a and_o appropriate_a manner_n by_o peculiar_a person_n by_o aaron_n and_o his_o son_n and_o the_o whole_a tribe_n of_o levi_n who_o be_v separate_v to_o the_o service_n of_o the_o altar_n and_o tabernacle_n in_o a_o peculiar_a place_n at_o the_o tabernacle_n or_o temple_n and_o at_o peculiar_a and_o appropriate_a time_n the_o seventh-day-sabbath_n and_o those_o other_o annual_a festival_n and_o by_o peculiar_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n the_o priest_n have_v their_o peculiar_a garment_n to_o minister_v in_o before_o the_o lord_n and_o all_o the_o vessel_n and_o utensil_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n be_v appropriate_v to_o those_o use_n not_o to_o mention_v now_o their_o sacrifice_n and_o oblation_n and_o incense_n etc._n etc._n now_o though_o these_o person_n time_n place_n rite_n and_o ceremony_n which_o by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v appropriate_v to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n have_v something_o mystical_a and_o typical_a in_o their_o signification_n yet_o the_o appropriation_n of_o peculiar_a person_n time_n place_n and_o habit_n to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v not_o mystical_a and_o typical_a but_o beside_o other_o use_v it_o may_v serve_v be_v the_o natural_a decency_n of_o worship_n and_o that_o which_o the_o peculiar_a excellency_n of_o god_n and_o the_o peculiarity_n of_o the_o divine_a worship_n require_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n instruct_v all_o mankind_n in_o this_o as_o much_o as_o in_o the_o necessity_n of_o religious_a worship_n insomuch_o that_o there_o never_o be_v any_o nation_n which_o pay_v public_a and_o solemn_a adoration_n to_o any_o deity_n but_o have_v their_o priest_n their_o temple_n their_o holy_a garment_n and_o other_o ceremony_n appropriate_v to_o religious_a use_n and_o if_o it_o be_v think_v enough_o to_o say_v that_o these_o man_n be_v idolater_n and_o their_o worship_n idolatrous_a and_o therefore_o we_o can_v learn_v from_o they_o what_o be_v proper_a and_o decent_a in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n we_o ought_v to_o consider_v that_o when_o the_o devil_n set_v up_o for_o a_o god_n he_o challenge_v divine_a honour_n to_o himself_o and_o therefore_o retain_v all_o the_o external_a form_n of_o religious_a worship_n though_o he_o corrupt_v it_o with_o impure_a and_o obscene_a and_o inhuman_a rite_n he_o will_v not_o have_v value_v either_o priest_n or_o their_o vestment_n or_o temple_n or_o altar_n have_v not_o these_o be_v very_o necessary_a and_o essential_a to_o religious_a worship_n and_o always_o judge_v so_o by_o mankind_n when_o a_o rebel_n usurp_v the_o throne_n he_o usurp_v the_o honour_n too_o of_o a_o natural_a prince_n and_o when_o the_o devil_n will_v be_v think_v a_o god_n he_o challenge_v such_o a_o worship_n as_o according_a to_o the_o general_a sense_n of_o mankind_n be_v due_a to_o god_n though_o he_o adapt_n the_o particular_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n of_o it_o to_o his_o own_o impure_a nature_n and_o barbarous_a and_o cruel_a inclination_n as_o for_o appropriate_a person_n time_n and_o place_n i_o suppose_v our_o reconciler_n will_v not_o dispute_v the_o fitness_n and_o decency_n of_o it_o under_o the_o gospel_n and_o there_o be_v as_o little_a reason_n why_o he_o shall_v dispute_v the_o decency_n of_o a_o appropriate_a and_o peculiar_a habit_n for_o religious_a worship_n which_o god_n himself_o command_v under_o the_o law_n and_o which_o have_v be_v use_v in_o all_o religion_n and_o in_o the_o early_a age_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n appropriate_a time_n and_o place_n be_v as_o jewish_a as_o appropriate_a habit_n and_o whoever_o consider_v the_o peculiarity_n of_o the_o divine_a worship_n can_v think_v it_o indecent_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v distinguish_v from_o other_o common_a action_n by_o peculiar_a time_n and_o place_n and_o habit_n as_o well_o as_o person_n ii_o the_o decency_n of_o worship_n consist_v in_o adapt_a the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n of_o it_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o those_o particular_a act_n of_o worship_n in_o which_o we_o be_v employ_v thus_o when_o we_o beg_v of_o god_n the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n or_o that_o he_o will_v bestow_v on_o we_o those_o blessing_n which_o we_o want_v it_o
