When all other Essays fail, the Repl. himself is brought in as guilty of contradiction, because he affirmeth these two things: the institution of God doeth distinguish true worship from false: and yet it doeth not alter the common nature of worship. For (saith the Rejoinder) it is as if one should say: the reasonable soul doeth distinguish man from creatures that have not understanding: and yet it doeth not alter the common nature of the creature. But the Repl. had answered this before, if the Rejoinder would have attended unto his words, as they are by himself set down, pag. 189. alter the common nature of worship, that is, make that worship, which otherwise, being used to the same end, and in the same manner, without Gods institution, were no worship at all. In which words he plainly expressed, that by altering the common nature of worship, he meant nothing less, than making true worship of false, but only creating or making the common essential nature of worship. And certain it is, that the reasonable soul (as it is reasonable) doeth not make the common ⟨p. 171⟩essential nature of a living creature, for then there could be no living creature, without a reasonable soul as the Rejoinder affirmeth, there can be no proper worship, without Gods appointment.
