with_o reverence_n which_o can_v be_v no_o idolatry_n for_o these_o follow_a reason_n first_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n adorare_fw-la viz._n to_o adore_v and_o another_o venerari_fw-la viz._n to_o

fear_n in_o the_o least_o to_o appear_v to_o give_v any_o honour_n or_o reverence_n to_o image_n and_o so_o it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o talmud_n and_o in_o r._n moses_n of_o egypt_n in_o his_o treatise_n of_o idolatry_n that_o if_o by_o chance_n any_o israelite_n shall_v pass_v by_o a_o church_n that_o have_v image_n on_o the_o out_o side_n and_o at_o that_o time_n a_o thorn_n shall_v
