But hath this man no Scripture, (against Scripture?) Yes, Luk. 1.8. [The people were praying without, while the Priest was offering Incense within.] Therefore the public Worship may be performed, so as the people understand not: That, 1. The Priests action only out of their sight is the public worship, and the peoples praying is not so. 2. The offering Incense, is Praying; or because the people are not to do the Priests Office in Incense and Sacrificing, therefore Ministers must pray and praise God alone, without the people, and all this public worship. 3. If the Levitical, Sacrifices were offered by the Priest alone, Christs Gospel worship must be performed by the Priest alone, the people not knowing what he saith: And the precepts and examples of the New-Testament, must all be reduced to the Levitical Order of Incense and Sacrificing. 4. And is he sure that all the people in the outer Court, prayed they knew not what, or in an unknown Tongue? What use is Scripture of to these men?
