I have fully answered this to Mr. Ralphson, 1. As to the bare name, either you will call all acts done to signify immediately the Souls honouring of God, by the name of Worship, or you will not; if not, then that which is no Worship, is no false Worship. If you will, then your Proposition is false; so that either your Major or Minor,¹ is another Error. For I take it for granted, that by Gods instituting, you mean not a general command to man to institute it; such as, [let all be done to edification,] if you did, then your Minor is not true. Kneeling at Prayer rather than sitting, putting off the Hat, using white Linen and Silver plate at the Sacrament, praising God by new Hymns, and in English Metre, and Tunes, and many such, are Worship in the secondary sense, and yet not imposed by any determining Divine Institution
