In that it is suited unto the Nature of God, so as that thereby he is glorified as God. For God is a Spirit, and will be Worshipped in Spirit, which our Saviour asserts to belong unto the Gospel-state, in opposition unto all the most glorious Carnal Ordinances and Institutions of the Law, John 4. 21, 22, 23.

See Psal. 50. ver. 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. (2.) Because it is performed merely by the Aids, Supplies, and Assistances of the Spirit, as it hath been at large proved elsewhere.
