The second example is taken from Solomons worship, at the dedication of the temple, 1. Kings 8.2. 2. Chron. 6. and 7. which he thus conformeth to his notions: The number of Bullocks and Sheep, were worship in respect of the end and allowance only, the Cere. of prayer, kneeling upon a Scaffold, & stretching out of hands, were worship reductive ad modum in genere suo, having respect to the manner in the general kind thereof: The burning of Sacrifices in the floor of the Court, was only lawful before the brazen altar was consecrated, and upon the present necessity: But 1. in the number of Bullocks and Sheep, there was not a different worship, but a different degree of the same worship, as a longer prayer or sermon is not another worship then a shorter, but another degree of extension in the same worship, Surely to pray and praise God twice, thrice or seven times in a day, are no different worships, one from another, but only more or less exercise of the same worship. 2. Kneeling & stretching out the hands, were not worship in respect to a general manner, but special external worship, as being natural, immediate expressions of the inward: As for the scaffold that Solomon kneeled on, that was no more worship, then the ass was upon which our Saviour did ride. Lastly, seeing none of these things carrying the nature of worship, were instituted ordinary observances, neither might the Priests in any convocation, have made such, these examples are nothing like ours in question.
