It is a morall law to worship God ac∣cording to his owne will, and not after mans inventions, as the second Commandment holds it forth: Now in the ap∣plication of this law the Lord points out his owne instituted worship in sundry significant ceremonies, sacrifices, sacra∣ments, &c. which particular institutions (though ceremo∣niall) are to be referred unto, and are comprehended un∣der the second Commandment which is a morall law: for if God will be worshipped with his owne worship according to this Commandment, then its necessary for the Lord to shew (and that under his Commandment) what those institu∣tions be, wherein he will bee worshipped, many of which are ceremoniall, which are therefore directly comprehen∣ded here.
