others, or advancing God's glory. So that whether it be Conversation or Worship; Spirit without Truth, inward Religion without outward Evidence, Faith within, without Works without; they may be Argu∣ments of a Fanatick, by no means of an holy Spirit. So that I shall conclude this whole Discourse with that of our Saviour, Matth. 19. 6. Whom God hath joyned together, let no man put asunder. Whether it be in our converse with God or Men; whether it be in God's Service, or in God's Worship; whether what we do hath respect to the Person of God, or to the Commands of God; Spirit and Truth, whom God hath joyned together, they must never be put asunder.
What Graces soever we have in the Spirit, the truth of their being there must be evidenced by our outward carriage; what Reverence, what Fear, what Awe, and what Esteem soever the Spirit hath of the Majesty, Pre∣sence, and Greatness of our God, that must be verified, seen, and proved by our outward Worship. For,
If God in Heaven will not that Angels and Spirits worship within themselves (and as some take the Notion) in Spirit onely: If to him all the Angels cry aloud, the Heavens and all the powers there∣in: If to him Cherubin and Seraphin continually do cry, Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of Sabbaoth, Heaven and Earth are full of the Ma∣jesty of thy Glory: If to him Ten thousand times ten thousand were heard saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing; certainly then all the Earth should worship him, magnifie his Name, confess before him, and confess him before men; we should all sing, and praise, and laud, and do every thing, and no∣thing but such things in time of his holy Worship, as may speak the Glory, the Goodness, the Holiness, the Greatness, and the Majesty of the God we worship. And thus to do, is to do my Text; thus to do, is to worship in Spirit and in Truth. And so I have done with these words,
The hour cometh and now is, when the true worshippers shall wor∣ship the Father in spirit and truth.
Tibi soli Domine debetur Latria, tibi omnis honos, adora∣tio, cultus, nunc, & in aeternum,
Amen.
