And consider them, and practise them, as they are in the word appointed, whether it be with any reference, to any other worship, or without reference had to any other worship, they are then and ever were at all these times in themselves, and in their use ceremonious worship: Instance thus: To put on frontlets before the eyes, &c. commanded 15. Numb. and by them to be admonished and stirred to the obedience of the ⟨p. 37⟩law: take this Ceremo. in the work, and in its own nature, as a mean signifying, teaching, and so working, this is a Ceremony, and so to do is Ceremonious worship: refer it; refer it I say to no other thing, but only to this, unto which it is appointed of God,1 as a mean to work & as a cause doth work this, I say look at it, as a cause to work, (which the Rej. excepted in his definition) in this sense it is a ceremony and ceremonious worship: the like of the rest. At a word: It is the verdict and voice of the scripture, and consent of all men, to divide worship into moral, ceremonial. Whence I gather thus: If there be a ceremonial worship, a distinct species from moral or substantial worship, then is a ceremony in it own proper nature, as such a worship without reference or consideration had of moral or substantial, as a man in his own nature is a living creature, without any consideration of a beast.

Numb. and by them to be admonished and stirred to the obedience of the ⟨p. 37⟩law: take this Ceremo. in the work, and in its owne nature, as a meane signifying, teaching, and so working, this is a Ceremony, and so to do is Ceremonions worsh•p: referr it; referr it I say to no other thing, but only to this, unto which it is appointed of God,
