or_o else_o we_o conceive_v a_o idol_n for_o there_o be_v three_o person_n in_o one_o common_a nature_n and_o in_o our_o prayer_n we_o must_v not_o conceive_v the_o nature_n without_o the_o person_n

for_o even_o as_o god_n be_v only_o to_o be_v know_v and_o speak_v to_o towards_o the_o tabernacle_n so_o christ_n be_v the_o tabernacle_n now_o where_o god_n manifest_v his_o gracious_a presence_n

worship_v a_o idol_n of_o our_o own_o brain_n again_o there_o be_v another_o thing_n which_o be_v a_o common_a abuse_n among_o christian_n affection_n 4._o it_o be_v idolatry_n to_o transform_v god_n

of_o all_o unregenerate_a man_n to_o do_v so_o idolatry_n be_v so_o natural_a it_o can_v but_o transform_v god_n to_o be_v like_o itself_o as_o for_o instance_n a_o man_n that_o be_v not_o a_o

i_o will_v come_v against_o thou_o etc._n etc._n as_o oppressor_n and_o such_o who_o grow_v great_a by_o ill_a course_n they_o justify_v this_o much_o will_v god_n let_v i_o alone_o if_o he_o do_v not_o approve_v of_o my_o course_n so_o they_o make_v god_n like_o themselves_o and_o so_o the_o good-fellow_n of_o the_o world_n they_o make_v god_n to_o allow_v all_o their_o dissoluteness_n because_o he_o let_v they_o alone_o so_o those_o that_o be_v fierce_a and_o cruel_a by_o nature_n who_o delight_n in_o cruelty_n vexation_n and_o blood_n they_o transform_v god_n as_o though_o he_o delight_v in_o such_o thing_n and_o make_v he_o a_o god_n of_o blood_n so_o other_o transform_v god_n to_o be_v all_o mercy_n this_o be_v to_o make_v god_n a_o idol_n and_o as_o ill_o as_o if_o they_o transform_v he_o into_o this_o and_o that_o creature_n worse_o than_o the_o heathen_n in_o regard_n of_o their_o light_n under_o the_o gospel_n yet_o this_o be_v the_o
