trouble_v myself_o with_o the_o opinion_n of_o those_o learned_a patron_n of_o liturgy_n he_o speak_v of_o but_o i_o shall_v take_v his_o argument_n as_o it_o lie_v before_o we_o which_o be_v that_o our_o liturgy_n be_v heathenish_a because_o we_o use_v form_n as_o they_o do_v he_o may_v as_o well_o have_v say_v our_o liturgy_n be_v heathenish_a because_o we_o use_v word_n as_o they_o do_v since_o it_o be_v no_o more_o heathenish_a to_o use_v form_n than_o word_n if_o they_o have_v the_o use_n of_o form_n it_o rather_o show_v the_o sense_n that_o mankind_n general_o have_v of_o this_o matter_n and_o that_o there_o can_v be_v too_o great_a a_o care_n take_v of_o our_o demeanour_n in_o divine_a worship_n according_a to_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o wise_a man_n eccl._n 5._o 2._o

form_n so_o have_v the_o jew_n so_o have_v christian_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v and_o so_o form_n no_o more_o make_v our_o worship_n heathenish_a than_o jewish_a but_o of_o this_o afterward_o but_o suppose_v that_o our_o liturgy_n be_v as_o he_o will_v have_v it_o take_v out_o of_o the_o mass-book_n yet_o q._n 2._o will_v the_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o mass-book_n make_v that_o worship_n which_o be_v otherwise_o good_a and_o lawful_a to_o become_v unlawful_a to_o be_v use_v or_o join_v with_o this_o he_o affirm_v and_o offer_v to_o prove_v after_o this_o manner_n it_o be_v a_o know_a maxim_n say_v he_o omnis_fw-la honour_n idoli_fw-la est_fw-la idolatria_fw-la he_o that_o shall_v put_v any_o respect_n upon_o a_o idol_n can_v be_v clear_a of_o the_o sin_n of_o idolatry_n but_o the_o mass-book_n be_v a_o idol_n and_o he_o that_o use_v a_o prayer_n or_o join_v with_o a_o prayer_n take_v out_o of_o that_o book_n thereby_o put_v a_o honour_n upon_o a_o idol_n how_o then_o can_v we_o join_v in_o prayer_n take_v out_o of_o the_o idolatrous_a mass-book_n and_o offer_v they_o to_o the_o holy_a god_n in_o which_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n contain_v 1._o that_o the_o mass-book_n be_v a_o idol_n 2._o that_o to_o take_v a_o prayer_n out_o of_o the_o mass-book_n be_v a_o respect_n to_o a_o idol_n and_o be_v idolatry_n 3._o that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o join_v in_o prayer_n take_v out_o of_o the_o mass-book_n 1._o the_o mass-book_n be_v a_o idol_n this_o we_o may_v just_o question_v because_o a_o idol_n be_v the_o representation_n of_o some_o divine_a or_o beatified_a object_n and_o that_o be_v as_o such_o propound_a and_o set_v up_o for_o adoration_n such_o be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o our_o saviour_n of_o angel_n and_o saint_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o mass-book_n be_v no_o idol_n there_o be_v no_o prototype_n or_o object_n it_o represent_v nor_o be_v any_o such_o adoration_n pay_v to_o it_o as_o be_v pay_v to_o a_o image_n or_o a_o crucifix_n we_o grant_v as_o well_o as_o he_o that_o the_o mass-book_n be_v idolatrous_a as_o it_o contain_v some_o thing_n that_o be_v so_o and_o be_v use_v in_o idolatrous_a worship_n but_o it_o no_o more_o follow_v from_o thence_o that_o it_o be_v a_o idol_n than_o that_o the_o incense_n holy_a water_n or_o vestment_n be_v idol_n which_o be_v use_v when_o they_o say_v mass_n but_o suppose_v the_o mass-book_n for_o once_o to_o be_v a_o idol_n that_o we_o may_v proceed_v to_o the_o next_o question_n viz._n 2._o whether_o the_o take_v a_o prayer_n out_o of_o the_o mass-book_n be_v such_o a_o respect_n to_o it_o as_o make_v the_o prayer_n to_o be_v idolatrous_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o prayer_n take_v out_o of_o the_o mass-book_n and_o insert_v in_o our_o liturgy_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o respect_n that_o it_o be_v a_o disrespect_n to_o it_o for_o at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o some_o prayer_n be_v take_v out_o those_o be_v reject_v that_o be_v leave_v behind_o for_o the_o gross_a corruption_n that_o be_v in_o they_o and_o by_o so_o do_v the_o reformer_n as_o much_o testify_v to_o all_o the_o world_n their_o abhorrence_n of_o it_o as_o the_o empty_n of_o the_o house_n of_o the_o good_n and_o utensil_n not_o infect_v by_o the_o leprosy_n and_o their_o forsake_v it_o be_v a_o plain_a declaration_n of_o its_o pollution_n so_o that_o if_o prayer_n take_v from_o thence_o be_v good_a the_o use_v they_o when_o take_v thence_o be_v no_o idolatry_n and_o communion_n in_o they_o no_o sin_n and_o no_o more_o unlawful_a than_o it_o be_v to_o use_v the_o vessel_n that_o be_v carry_v out_o of_o the_o infect_a house_n but_o this_o be_v the_o main_a question_n viz._n q._n whether_o that_o which_o have_v be_v use_v in_o idolatrous_a worship_n may_v if_o otherwise_o good_a and_o lawful_a be_v use_v where_o the_o worship_n be_v not_o idolatrous_a this_o he_o deny_v and_o for_o it_o offer_v these_o reason_n 1_o we_o
