1The words contain, a description of a Christian by his proper act, Worship, and by the proper object thereof, God; and by his most proper part, in spirit.

All our obedience, issuing herefrom, is worship of God▪ including our duties to man, in obedience and relation to Gods Commandment. The ground of this obedience and worship, is the relation between God and the reasonable creature being the Image of God now this image being lost in the fall of our first parents, we must worship him, not only as our creator and maker, but as reconciled to us in Christ, as he hath made us anew.
