On these Suppositions, the Proposition laid down, is proved by the following Arguments.
1. Argument, Religious Worship not divinely instituted and appointed, is false Worship, not accepted with God; but the Liturgical-worship intended, is a Religious Worship, not divinely instituted and appointed, ergo, not accepted with God. The Proposition is confirmed by all the Divine Testimonies, wherein all such Worship is expressly condemned, see Deut. 4.2. Chap. 12.32. Prov. 30.6. Jer. 7.31. Isa. 29.13, &c. That especially, where the Lord Christ restrains all Worship to his own command, Matth. 28.20. It is answered to the minor Proposition, That the Liturgical-worship is of Christs appointment, as to the substantials of it, tho not as to its Accidentals; namely, Prayers and Praises; not unto its outward rites and form, which do not vitiate the whole.
