Quote by Stephen Charnock
“It shall be a worship "in truth," because the true God shall be adored without those vain imaginations and fantastic resemblances of him,y which were common among the blind Gentiles, and contrary to the glorious nature of God, and unworthy ingredients in religious services. It shall be a worship "in spirit," without those carnal rites the degenerate Jews rested on; such a posture of soul which is the life and ornament of every service God looks for at your Lands.”
