Worfhipping in Spirit and it: truth is the worfhip which Chrift requireth, accepteth, and wherein he'delighteth, obedience from an unfanftified heart is but filthy water from an uncleane fountaine, and bad fruit of a corrupt tree : Chrift takes no pleafure in it, the facrifice, prayer, and whole Way ofthe a,Filiatl, wicked is an abomination to Lord. z. To Chrift let us fubjeft our felves, filially, not as haves for feare of hell, but ¡ as fonnes for love, having a holy affection awing us, and making us loath to °End Chrift, our love to and delight in holincffe moving us to wake in the way ofGods pre- y Luk.s.94,75 cepts, ferving him Y without feare, without bate and f rvile feare, in holinefe and` righteotefnefe before, him all the dayes of our life. 3.
