21 A godly man doth spiritual things in a spiritual manner,1 Phil. 3. 3. We are the Circumcision, which worship God in the spirit: Spirit-worship is Virgin-worship, 1 Pet. 2. 5. Ye are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual *sacrifices; not only ⟨p. 230⟩spiritual for the matter, but the quality; a wicked man either lives in the total neglect of duty, or else dischargeth it in a dull careless manner; in stead of using the world, as if he used it not, 3he serves God, as if he served him not; a godly man spiritualizeth duty, he is not only for the doing of holy things, but for the holy doing of things.
