The Rationale Of The Ritual Of The Hebrew Worship

Excerpt from A Rational of the Ritual of the Hebrew Worship: In Which the Wise Designs and Usefulness of That Ritual Are Explained, and Vindicated From Objections It will be some satisfaction to a mind so well formed as yours, to a love of truth, to perceive the reasons and the uses of the Hebrew ritual of worship appearing in the harmony of all its parts; that the ritual itself is so far from showing any marks of superstition, that, on the contrary, it every where shows a wise and good design to prevent all superstition and idolatry, and to promote the useful ends of a revelation every way worthy of God. An honest attempt to serve so good a cause, will, I am sure, meet with your favourable acceptance. For myself, Sir, I have always esteemed it a singular happiness of my life, that I was honoured, in my early years, with the acquaintance of that excellent gentleman, the late Sir John Hartopp, your father; and that you have continued the honour of your friendship to me, for so many years since.
