If an action may have the real subsistence of superstition, without the intention of the mind, the work of heart and affection: then without these hath it the subsistence of external worship. But without internal worship: to wit without, nay against the intention of mind, the work of my heart & affection, the action formerly mentioned hath the subsistence of real superstition. Therefore without the internal worship, the external hath subsistence.
If an action may have the reall subsistence of superstition, without the intention of the mynd, the work of heart and affection: then without these hath it the subsistence of externall worship. But without internall worship: to witt without, nay against the intention of mynd, the work of my heart & affection, the action formerly mentioned hath the subsistence of reall superstition. Therfore without the internall worship, the externall hath subsistence.
The fourth division: External worship is either mediate, or immediate: mediate, when any duty of the second table is performe• immediately to man, but out of conscience, and in obedience to God, to his honour.
The fourth division: Externall worship is either mediate, or immediate: mediate, when any duty of the second table is performe• immediatly to man, but out of conscience, and in obedience to God, to his honour.
In this division of mediate, and immediate worship used by some Divines: The name worship, must need• be taken (by a synecd. the part putt for the whole) fo• obedience in general, and so they are to be understood and not in propriety of speech: For that which comprehends both the tables of the Decalogue in it (as in this division worship doth) cannot properly be referred, either to any one command, or any one table: And in this construction, it serves nothing to the Rej. his purpose, but only to fill up place, & make up the number of Divisions, which is the ready way to confound the reader: And that the Rej. cast lots almost what to say, it may appear, in that, he who makes external worship the Genus to mediate and immediate here: Elsewhere in his premonition to the receiving of the Lords supper, he makes immediate the Genus to external and internal, so curious is he in his distributions, that in his sense, you may make the whole the part, the part the whole: And if in such Divisions there be like to be true sense and solidity, let the judicious reader determine.
