1. The light of Nature sheweth that there is a God, who hath Lordship and Soveraignty over all, is good, and doth good unto all, and is therefore to bee feared, loved, praised, called upon, trusted in, and served, with all the heart, and with all the soule, and with all the might.a But, the acceptable way of Worshipping the true God, is instituted by himselfe, and so limited by his own revealed Will, that he may not bee Worshipped according to the imaginations and devices of men, or the suggestions of Satan, under any visible representation, or any other way not prescribed in the holy Scripture.b
