REASON II.

THe using outward Compulsion in matters of Conscience, does only serve to make Men Hypocrites, but works no saving Conversion. If Men conform to any VVorship or way thereof, with an unwilling mind, they cannot serve God aright, though the VVorship be right, because the Heart of the VVorshipper is not right. God calls for the Heart, My Son, give me thy Heart. If it were not for compulsion, the Man would be in some other Practice or Profession; and when he Conforms only to save his Person or his Purse, he is the Servant of Man, and not the Servant of God, and this is not to save his Soul. Not by con∣straint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but a rea∣dy mind.
