Now for the better reception of this latter part of the Primates judgement, concerning our outward reverence in the public worship of God, whether at hearing of the Word or Prayer; so much neglected in these times; I shall here add what I find in the foresaid Mr. Arthur Hildersham, in his Lectures upon John 4. In the 26. Lecture he speaks much for the outward reverence of Gods public worship in the Church. viz. That we should neither come into that place, nor go out of ⟨p. 342⟩it, as ye would in or out of a dancing-school; But in our very coming in, and going out, and whole outward carriage; we should give some signification of the reverence that we bear to this place, and that we do indeed account it the house of God; Exhorts men to come to the beginning of the then public worship, or before it begins; and tarry till all be done: to be present at the Administration of Baptism, and at the blessing pronounced by Gods Ministers. Affirms, that there was nothing then done in Gods public worship among us, but it was done by the Institution, and Ordinance, and Commandment of the Lord; the particulars of which, he mentions.
