dissuade_v they_o from_o pollute_v themselves_o by_o fornication_n for_o as_o temple_n be_v dedicate_v to_o god_n and_o upon_o that_o very_a account_n ought_v to_o be_v set_v apart_o from_o all_o

himself_o from_o pollution_n by_o sin_n by_o this_o allusion_n it_o be_v undeniable_o evident_a that_o temple_n ought_v to_o be_v keep_v holy_a but_o if_o any_o shall_v say_v the_o apostle_n allude_v here_o chief_o if_o not_o only_o to_o the_o jewish_a temple_n the_o non-prophanation_n of_o which_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n which_o be_v abrogate_a by_o christ_n i_o think_v it_o very_o improbable_a he_o shall_v allude_v to_o that_o place_n which_o with_o all_o the_o ceremony_n belong_v to_o it_o be_v very_o imperfect_o know_v to_o these_o corinthian_n but_o to_o put_v you_o quite_o out_o of_o doubt_n you_o may_v see_v the_o same_o apostle_n speak_v more_o plain_o and_o express_o of_o christian_a church_n there_o be_v some_o even_o in_o st._n paul_n time_n in_o 1_o cor._n 11.22_o where_o he_o reprove_v the_o corinthian_n for_o feast_v in_o those_o sacred_a place_n have_v you_o not_o house_n to_o eat_v and_o drink_v in_o or_o despise_v you_o the_o church_n of_o god_n the_o church_n though_o it_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o most_o common_o signify_v the_o people_n yet_o we_o must_v here_o understand_v it_o of_o the_o place_n it_o be_v oppose_v to_o

to_o do_v with_o which_o manifest_o show_v that_o a_o put_v church_n to_o any_o common_a use_n be_v a_o profane_v or_o despise_v of_o they_o even_o according_a to_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o the_o canon_n from_o whence_o i_o argue_v if_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o put_v those_o place_n to_o common_a use_n certain_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o come_v into_o they_o with_o common_a gesture_n and_o behaviour_n for_o i_o can_v see_v very_o little_a if_o any_o difference_n at_o all_o between_o one_o and_o the_o other_o because_o the_o sin_n lie_v in_o make_v consecrate_v or_o separate_v place_n common_a with_o other_o which_o be_v do_v by_o common_a gesture_n rude_a behaviour_n and_o want_v of_o corporal_a adoration_n as_o well_o as_o by_o eat_v and_o drink_v though_o not_o many_o year_n since_o church_n be_v turn_v to_o stable_n and_o even_o now_o a_o profanation_n of_o all_o thing_n sacred_a be_v make_v a_o piece_n of_o religion_n and_o account_v a_o charectiristical_a letter_n to_o

this_o account_n because_o do_v in_o that_o place_n to_o be_v sure_o rude_a and_o unseemly_a behaviour_n be_v unlawful_a too_o upon_o the_o same_o account_n because_o a_o needless_a do_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v common_a in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v a_o despise_v it_o it_o be_v set_v a_o part_n for_o holy_a use_n questionless_a holiness_n be_v most_o fit_a for_o holy_a place_n the_o great_a reverence_n and_o adoration_n best_a become_v the_o house_n of_o the_o great_a god_n but_o i_o be_o confident_a i_o may_v have_v spare_v all_o this_o pain_n if_o i_o can_v persuade_v these_o man_n to_o be_v as_o zealous_a of_o glorify_v god_n in_o their_o spirit_n as_o they_o profess_v for_o as_o out_o of_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v so_o internal_a devotion_n if_o it_o be_v intense_a will_v certain_o discover_v itself_o in_o external_a reverence_n and_o adoration_n for_o it_o seem_v very_o near_o a_o impossibility_n very_o improbable_a i_o be_o sure_a that_o any_o man_n shall_v come_v into_o the_o house_n of_o god_n affect_v as_o he_o ought_v with_o the_o greatness_n and_o awfulness_n of_o that_o majesty_n he_o appear_v before_o and_o not_o show_v it_o in_o such_o external_a worship_n the_o most_o they_o have_v to_o say_v against_o be_v idolatry_n which_o be_v enough_o indeed_o if_o they_o can_v prove_v it_o so_o but_o this_o sufficient_o show_v either_o their_o ignorance_n or_o ill_a nature_n for_o the_o proper_a notion_n of_o idolatry_n consist_v in_o a_o give_v that_o honour_n and_o religious_a worship_n to_o any_o creature_n which_o be_v due_a to_o god_n only_o now_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v of_o these_o man_n to_o what_o creature_n we_o pay_v any_o thing_n of_o religious_a worship_n in_o any_o act_n before_o mention_v suppose_v we_o proceed_v to_o a_o bow_v at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n i_o be_o confident_a we_o may_v prove_v this_o full_a as_o lawful_a and_o necessary_a as_o stand_v up_o at_o the_o creed_n which_o some_o of_o they_o do_v allow_v for_o the_o former_a be_v sometime_o use_v in_o some_o place_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o arrian_n who_o deny_v the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n that_o by_o this_o act_n they_o may_v show_v they_o own_a he_o to_o be_v god_n as_o well_o as_o man_n by_o allow_v he_o a_o fit_a object_n of_o divine_a worship_n which_o they_o hold_v the_o arrian_n can_v not_o do_v without_o idolatry_n as_o they_o deny_v he_o to_o be_v any_o more_o than_o a_o creature_n and_o the_o latter_a be_v practise_v by_o some_o to_o show_v that_o they_o give_v a_o full_a assent_n to_o all_o the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n in_o opposition_n to_o those_o who_o deny_v some_o of_o they_o now_o if_o we_o look_v bare_o upon_o the_o action_n it_o be_v almost_o the_o same_o in_o both_o if_o upon_o the_o reason_n or_o end_n of_o it_o it_o be_v whole_o the_o same_o in_o each_o the_o one_o own_v the_o truth_n of_o christ_n divinity_n the_o other_o the_o truth_n of_o those_o article_n rehearse_v why_o then_o shall_v one_o be_v more_o idolatry_n than_o the_o other_o if_o they_o say_v the_o former_a have_v a_o bow_n add_v to_o it_o if_o we_o stand_v up_o to_o show_v our_o assent_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n certain_o reason_n will_v oblige_v we_o to_o add_v a_o bow_n when_o we_o stand_v up_o in_o token_n of_o assent_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o divinity_n who_o be_v the_o author_n and_o finisher_n of_o our_o faith_n shall_v they_o reply_v that_o that_o bow_n alter_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o action_n as_o make_v this_o a_o act_n of_o adoration_n whilst_o the_o other_o be_v but_o a_o bare_a token_n of_o assent_n i_o add_v to_o run_v so_o far_o with_o they_o suppose_v we_o shall_v ground_v it_o on_o some_o place_n of_o scripture_n and_o so_o make_v it_o more_o strict_o a_o duty_n i_o will_v fain_o know_v here_o again_o to_o what_o creature_n do_v we_o in_o this_o give_v any_o thing_n of_o divine_a worship_n i_o be_o sure_a not_o to_o any_o image_n or_o the_o like_a as_o the_o papist_n do_v and_o therefore_o can_v see_v how_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o thing_n of_o idolatry_n in_o it_o shall_v we_o do_v the_o same_o towards_o the_o altar_n yet_o we_o make_v this_o only_a motivum_fw-la cultus_fw-la not_o terminativum_fw-la but_o because_o the_o papist_n have_v the_o same_o plea_n for_o their_o bow_n to_o image_n take_v this_o we_o do_v not_o bow_v towards_o this_o as_o the_o papist_n do_v towards_o their_o image_n as_o any_o representation_n of_o any_o thing_n in_o heaven_n or_o earth_n or_o under_o the_o earth_n neither_o be_v it_o ever_o make_v for_o any_o such_o intent_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o at_o all_o against_o the_o second_o commandment_n but_o only_o in_o regard_n of_o god_n especial_a presence_n there_o which_o if_o you_o grant_v you_o may_v as_o easy_o allow_v adoration_n towards_o this_o place_n as_o reverence_v in_o other_o place_n of_o the_o church_n but_o shall_v you_o doubt_v of_o this_o because_o every_o part_n of_o the_o church_n have_v the_o same_o consecration_n i_o refer_v you_o to_o the_o learned_a mr._n mede_n who_o about_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o
