5. There may be a false Worship of the true God, as well as a worship of a false god. Such was the Worship of Jehovah the Lord, by the Calf in the Wilderness, Exod. 33.5, 6. Such was the Feast unto the Lord ordained by Jeroboam, in the eighth month, the fifteenth day of the month, which he had devised of his own heart, 1 Kings 12.32.33.

§ 6. Your fifth Premise is unquestionable. But if you distinguish not of false Worship, you will make but false Work about it. 1. There is that, which is the corrupting of Gods own necessary Worship-Ordinances, in so gross a manner, either outwardly in the Matter, or inwardly in the Mind; as that God will not own or accept the Worship and Worshippers. 2. There is that which is false in Integrals, Accidents, or Degrees, by pardoned failings and infirmities. To be [false] is to be disagreeable to the rule; such in some measure, is every Prayer, Sermon or Sacrament, that ever you administered. He ⟨p. 12⟩that saith he hath no Sin, is a liar. All sinful Worship, is so far false worship, which the best of men are guilty of: If you put all the Errors that are in this Paper of yours, in a Sermon or Prayer, will not so many falsehoods make it false worship?
