1. That there must be a new kind of Worshippers, whom he calls True Worshippers, because typified by, and more excellent than legal Worshippers; and a new way of worshipping, to wit, in Spirit and Truth; that is to say, in such a manner as is different from the legal way, and was typified by it, and which therefore is more excellent. This Worship the Doctrine of the New Covenant teacheth: for this Doctrine abrogates the legal Form, and does introduce that Worship, which the legal Worship was a type and shadow of. This new Covenant Doctrine is upon this account ⟨p. 48⟩called Spirit and Truth, as the Mosaical Doctrine, in relation to it, is called the Letter; and is said to have the shadow of good things to come, 2 Cor. 3.6, &c. Joh. 1.17. Heb. 10.1.
