As to your Reply, it is the strangest that ever I read from so Learned ⟨p. 14⟩a Man, and is a great mistake: What is there in the world, that is a Subject,1 without any Accidentals? Gods Worship hath a multitude of Accidents; As the Hour, the Place, the Pulpit, the Tables, the Cups of Silver, the Linen and other Ornaments; the Books as Printed, the Metre, the Tunes, the Chapters and Verses, the words of Translation, the Building, the Gestures, Vestures, Treasures, &c.

- 1XV. Error.
You add another mistake, that [every thing that belongs to it, is a part of it.] Then all these forementioned are parts of it, for they all belong to it.1 What a strange thing make you of Gods Worship? Then your Time, Place, Notes, Words, Tunes, Gestures, Covenant-Form, Catechism-Forms, &c. are all parts of Gods Worship, for they belong to it: And then you must be separated from for adding them. But after this mistake, you say, [Outward Circumstances are natural, and occasional, no accidental parts of worship]. Answ. Just now all Accidents were parts (or else Accidents belong not to it) And now [it hath no accidental parts] Certainly this is the truer; for I remember not that ever I heard of mere Accidents that were Parts. A mans Name, Relation, Trade, Clothing, Age, House, &c. belong to him, and are Accidents, but no parts of him: no nor his Hair, if it be a mere Accident. But do none of these duly belong to him?
