 1 1|         contrary to the glory of God, to the purity of the Church,
 2 1|       does this burning zeal for God, for the Church, and for
 3 1|       not inherit the kingdom of God.”5 Whosoever, therefore,
 4 1|  solicitous about the kingdom of God and thinks it his duty to
 5 1|    advancement of the kingdom of God.~That any man should think
 6 1|      sincerity in the worship of God; I esteem it above all things
 7 1|    committed unto him, I say, by God; because it appears not
 8 1|      because it appears not that God has ever given any such
 9 1|         other well pleasing unto God, such profession and such
10 1|       say, in offering thus unto God Almighty such a worship
11 1|     nothing can be acceptable to God. And such is the nature
12 1| acceptableness of the other unto God be thoroughly believed by
13 1|        the public worshipping of God in such manner as they judge
14 1|     which is truly acceptable to God. The hope of salvation,
15 1|         is the public worship of God and, by means thereof, the
16 1|        loose this their zeal for God, with which they are so
17 1|          minister of the Word of God, a preacher of the gospel
18 1|        of them) they may worship God in that manner which they
19 1|      whether he will or no. Nay, God Himself will not save men
20 1|        and upright worshipper of God could, with a safe conscience,
21 1|          procure acceptance with God. The most likely and most
22 1|        know and acknowledge that God ought to be publicly worshipped;
23 1|          world that they worship God and offer unto His Divine
24 1|     whatsoever in the worship of God. And this, not only because
25 1|      practised in the worship of God is only so far justifiable
26 1|          can it be acceptable to God. To impose such things,
27 1|        to command them to offend God, which, considering that
28 1|        the Church and worship of God, are removed out of the
29 1|       any part of the worship of God—for this very reason: because
30 1|         indifferent things which God has not forbidden is free
31 1|         lawful in the worship of God than as they are instituted
32 1|        as they are instituted by God Himself and as He, by some
33 1|          upon the worshippers of God? For the greatest part of
34 1|       other account than because God is not the author of them.
35 1|        they are as abominable to God as the sacrifice of a dog.
36 1|        matter, unless it be that God required the use of one
37 1|       because, in the worship of God, they wholly cease to be
38 1|    indifferent. He that worships God does it with design to please
39 1|          of another, offers unto God that which he knows will
40 1|   Himself. This is not to please God, or appease his wrath, but
41 1|      believed to be appointed by God and to be well-pleasing
42 1|     perfectly indifferent, where God has not given any express
43 1|          it would be accepted by God. But these, to Christians
44 1|   seventh day to be set apart by God, and consecrated still to
45 1|   institution is only to worship God with freedom after its own
46 1|        they so in the worship of God, or in any religious meeting.
47 1|     doing so be well-pleasing to God or no, it is their part
48 1|       persuaded that they please God in observing the rites of
49 1|         they are to be left unto God and themselves. Let us trace
50 1|        takes to be a sin against God. Covetousness, uncharitableness,
51 1|          and the offence against God are not considered, but
52 1|      seem false and offensive to God; may not the Christians
53 1|          from the worship of the God of Israel. These were proceeded
54 1|   political government, in which God Himself was the legislator.
55 1|          No: the reason is this. God being in a peculiar manner
56 1|        acknowledgment of another god, that is say, another king,
57 1|       the same grounds, given by God to the invaders.8 But, though
58 1|          the worship of the true God and punished for idolatry,
59 1| dissemble and tell lies, both to God and man, for the salvation
60 1|      Testament to be the Word of God, he does not thereby alter
61 1|    necessary to the obtaining of God’s favour, and are prescribed
62 1|    favour, and are prescribed by God to that end. It follows
63 1|           in the first place, to God and, afterwards to the laws.~
64 1|          between them? I answer: God alone. For there is no judge
65 1|       magistrate and the people. God, I say, is the only judge
66 1|          who deny the being of a God. Promises, covenants, and
67 1|      atheist. The taking away of God, though but even in thought,
68 1|          it permitted to worship God in the Roman manner? Let
69 1|         to pray unto and worship God? If we allow the Jews to
70 1|       which he is accountable to God only; what else can be expected
71 1|       pudet hoec opprobria. etc. God Almighty grant, I beseech
72 1|        consciences to the law of God and less solicitous about
73 2|   eternal and infinite wisdom of God.~Thus much concerning heresy,
