same_o proof_n etc._n etc._n yet_o sure_o the_o first_o point_n be_v none_o of_o they_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o try_v the_o next_o 2._o it_o be_v object_v against_o we_o that_o we_o make_v god_n

now_o if_o by_o make_v god_n of_o dead_a man_n be_v mean_v make_v the_o saint_n so_o many_o independent_a deity_n there_o be_v then_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o what_o the_o zealous_a brother_n object_n against_o we_o and_o what_o we_o object_n against_o the_o papist_n as_o well_o as_o between_o the_o reason_n of_o our_o objection_n for_o we_o never_o object_v this_o against_o they_o but_o if_o by_o this_o expression_n be_v mean_v give_v that_o worship_n to_o the_o saint_n which_o belong_v only_o to_o god_n and_o our_o saviour_n we_o then_o allow_v our_o objection_n to_o be_v the_o same_o but_o do_v think_v that_o we_o have_v much_o better_a reason_n to_o object_v this_o against_o the_o papist_n than_o that_o of_o a_o weekly_a bill_n of_o mortality_n for_o we_o appeal_v to_o the_o public_a address_n which_o be_v make_v to_o virgin_n mary_n and_o other_o saint_n with_o all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o external_n adoration_n to_o their_o litany_n

saint_n distinct_a power_n of_o do_v good_a to_o their_o worshipper_n to_o their_o acknowledgement_n that_o the_o saint_n be_v mediator_n of_o intercession_n to_o the_o prayer_n that_o be_v make_v to_o they_o in_o all_o place_n as_o if_o they_o be_v omnipresent_v to_o the_o sense_n also_o of_o their_o council_n of_o trent_n that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v pray_v unto_o with_o mental_a as_o well_o

and_o by_o it_o make_v good_a their_o cause_n so_o that_o he_o confess_v his_o charge_n upon_o our_o church_n to_o be_v carry_v on_o with_o a_o kind_n of_o sophistry_n only_a what_o he_o have_v do_v in_o a_o kind_n of_o jest_n we_o have_v be_v do_v against_o they_o in_o the_o great_a earnest_n i._n e._n we_o have_v in_o good_a earnest_n charge_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n with_o give_v that_o

in_o a_o question_n of_o antiquity_n who_o talk_v so_o careless_o of_o thing_n that_o be_v notorious_a in_o our_o own_o day_n our_o father_n indeed_o find_v the_o title_n convenient_a enough_o and_o

first_o that_o these_o church-of-england-man_n be_v within_o the_o swing_n of_o the_o dragon_n tail_n but_o i_o have_v not_o lie_v to_o say_v that_o they_o be_v under_o the_o foot_n and_o the_o belly_n more_o than_o the_o papist_n themselves_o be_v for_o the_o papist_n do_v no_o more_o towards_o the_o place_n of_o image-worship_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n than_o by_o a_o cleanly_a conveyance_n of_o that_o commandment_n which_o forbid_v it_o out_o of_o the_o way_n but_o these_o church-of_a england-man_n as_o they_o be_v call_v have_v give_v that_o abomination_n of_o image_n themselves_o a_o place_n in_o every_o leaf_n of_o their_o bible_n in_o the_o very_a
word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o great_a argument_n of_o sovereign_a honour_n nay_o in_o some_o of_o their_o bibles_n you_o shall_v find_v moses_n and_o aaron_n stand_v in_o the_o very_a next_o leaf_n to_o the_o ten_o commandment_n which_o what_o be_v it_o belove_v but_o a_o defiance_n to_o the_o second_o whereas_o the_o papist_n be_v more_o modest_a than_o to_o affront_v it_o have_v put_v it_o away_o far_o from_o they_o but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o my_o brethren_n for_o they_o pray_v to_o their_o picture_n for_o if_o you_o but_o look_v over_o their_o shoulder_n you_o will_v see_v their_o picture_n in_o the_o very_a heat_n of_o their_o devotion_n under_o their_o very_a eye_n in_o the_o leave_v of_o their_o common-prayer_n book_n and_o therefore_o mark_v i_o now_o belove_a if_o we_o must_v believe_v our_o own_o sense_n they_o pray_v to_o the_o picture_n and_o to_o the_o leave_n and_o to_o the_o idol_n common-prayer_n book_n and_o all_o this_o indeed_o have_v be_v something_o like_a and_o will_v have_v piece_v well_o with_o what_o follow_v that_o our_o altar_n have_v their_o image_n too_o and_o that_o in_o a_o more_o profane_a way_n than_o the_o papist_n etc._n etc._n well_o but_o let_v we_o suppose_v our_o church_n bind_v to_o answer_v for_o these_o picture_n and_o for_o moses_n and_o aaron_n etc._n etc._n be_v we_o enjoin_v to_o pay_v they_o any_o worship_n as_o they_o of_o the_o romish_a communion_n be_v oblige_v to_o pay_v to_o their_o image_n the_o council_n of_o trent_n have_v determine_v that_o due_a honour_n and_o veneration_n must_v be_v give_v to_o

we_o read_v of_o several_a prayer_n use_v at_o the_o consecration_n of_o image_n among_o they_o but_o whoever_o hear_v of_o any_o such_o thing_n practise_v at_o the_o set_n up_o of_o moses_n and_o

against_o the_o papist_n the_o reason_n we_o go_v upon_o be_v no_o better_o than_o he_o but_o we_o do_v at_o least_o make_v image_n and_o picture_n which_o the_o second_o commandment_n express_o forbid_v as_o he_o make_v his_o brother_n say_v and_o now_o a_o reason_n of_o the_o answerer_n be_v produce_v that_o no_o intention_n can_v alter_v the_o nature_n of_o action_n which_o be_v determine_v by_o a_o divine_a law_n i_o will_v therefore_o know_v of_o he_o whether_o there_o be_v or_o be_v not_o good_a reason_n to_o make_v we_o certain_a that_o the_o second_o commandment_n do_v not_o absolute_o forbid_v the_o make_n of_o image_n and_o picture_n but_o only_o with_o reference_n to_o worship_v they_o if_o there_o be_v no_o good_a reason_n for_o it_o let_v he_o then_o tell_v i_o whether_o any_o intention_n can_v justify_v the_o make_n of_o image_n against_o a_o absolute_a law_n to_o the_o contrary_n if_o there_o be_v let_v he_o then_o but_o confess_v what_o he_o think_v of_o this_o objection_n that_o he_o have_v put_v into_o his_o brother_n mouth_n and_o there_o be_v one_o labour_n save_v i_o confess_v it_o be_v not_o ill_o for_o he_o if_o some_o intention_n may_v justify_v the_o break_n of_o the_o nine_o commandment_n for_o he_o pretend_v that_o the_o new_a common-prayer-book_n do_v not_o profess_v that_o hatred_n to_o image-worship_n which_o the_o old_a one_o
