[ 238] God must be served like himself.

THere are some of the Heathens that worship the Sun for a God,* 1.1 and they would offer to the Sun somewhat suitable; and therefore because they did so much admire at the swiftnesse of the motion of the Sun, they would not offer a snail,* 1.2 but a flying horse, a horse with wings. Now a horse is one of the swiftest crea∣tures, and one of the strongest to continue in motion for a long time together; then having added wings to the horse,* 1.3 they conceived he was suitable to be a sacrifice for the Sun. So when we come to God, to worship him, to sanctifie him, to call upon his Name, we must not bring the bare calves of our lips, but the ferency of our hearts; we must behave our selves so, as to give Him the glory, that is fit for such a God to have. God is a Spirit, and he must be worshipped in spirit and in truth; not a civili onely, but a divine worship also, proportionable in some measure even to the Na∣ture of God himself.
