In What Sense Worship is Voluntary
Burkitt. Mark 7:1-16 Then came together to him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.… The duties of worship ought to be voluntary, as voluntary is opposed to constrained; but they must not be voluntary, as voluntary is opposed to instituted or appointed. God doth no more approve of that worship we give Him according to our will, than He doth approve of our neglect of that which is according to His own will. (Burkitt.) Parallel Verses KJV: Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
