A56393	Reasons for abrogating the test imposed upon all members of Parliament, anno 1678, Octob. 30 in these words, I A.B. do solemnly and sincerely, in the presence of God, profess, testifie, and declare, that I do believe that in the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper there is not any transubstantiation of the elements of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ, at, or after the consecration thereof by any person whatsoever, and that the invocation or adoration of the Virgin Mary, or any other saint, and the sacrifice of the mass, as they are now used in the Church of Rome, are superstitious and idolatrous : first written for the author's own satisfaction, and now published for the benefit of all others whom it may concern.	Parker, Samuel, 1640-1688.	1688 (1688)	Wing P467; ESTC R5001	62,716	138

the_o father_n of_o abraham_n and_o the_o father_n of_o nachor_n and_o they_o serve_v strange_a gods._n but_o when_o abraham_n come_v into_o canaan_n i_o find_v no_o record_n that_o the_o custom_n of_o his_o country_n have_v pass_v the_o river_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a evident_a instance_n of_o their_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a god_n as_o creator_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n what_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a than_o the_o story_n of_o melchisedeck_v priest_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n a_o term_n appropriate_v in_o scripture_n to_o the_o supreme_a deity_n in_o his_o blessing_n abraham_n bless_a be_v abraham_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n creator_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o when_o god_n consume_v sodom_n and_o gomorrah_n with_o fire_n from_o heaven_n idolatry_n

upon_o his_o departure_n from_o that_o city_n by_o god_n especial_a command_n he_o build_v a_o altar_n at_o bethel_n to_o god_n and_o command_v his_o family_n to_o put_v away_o their_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d

after_o they_o have_v be_v detain_v there_o four_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o year_n according_a to_o the_o hebrew_n or_o two_o hundred_o and_o fifteen_o according_a to_o the_o seventy_o the_o great_a

this_o be_v their_o case_n be_v evident_a from_o the_o whole_a series_n of_o the_o story_n the_o first_o discovery_n that_o the_o almighty_a make_v of_o himself_o be_v to_o moses_n in_o the_o burn_a

have_v send_v you_o that_o be_v the_o only_a self_n existent_a be_v that_o be_v the_o only_a supreme_a deity_n and_o god_n of_o your_o father_n and_o for_o the_o truth_n and_o demonstration_n of_o

afterward_o the_o strong_a bar_n against_o idolatry_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o sit_v down_o at_o the_o foot_n of_o mount_n sinah_n which_o be_v their_o first_o place_n of_o rest_n god_n first_o care_n be_v to_o make_v further_a provision_n against_o idolatry_n where_o after_o a_o fearful_a and_o glorious_a representation_n of_o his_o presence_n he_o give_v the_o ten_o commandment_n whereof_o the_o four_o first_o be_v direct_o level_v against_o idolatry_n first_o he_o enjoin_v the_o worship_n of_o himself_o who_o by_o his_o almighty_a power_n have_v deliver_v they_o from_o their_o egyptian_a bondage_n in_o the_o next_o place_n he_o forbid_v they_o the_o worship_n of_o all_o idol_n i._n e._n as_o himself_o describe_v they_o the_o likeness_n or_o similitude_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n above_o or_o in_o the_o earth_n beneath_o or_o in_o the_o water_n under_o the_o earth_n a_o plain_a and_o indeed_o logical_a definition_n this_o that_o idolatry_n be_v give_v the_o worship_n of_o the_o supreme_a god_n to_o any_o create_v corporeal_a or_o visible_a deity_n or_o any_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v represent_v by_o a_o image_n which_o nothing_o but_o coporeal_a being_n can_v and_o to_o suppose_v such_o a_o be_v the_o supreme_a deity_n be_v the_o only_a true_a and_o proper_a idolatry_n and_o though_o there_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o it_o first_o either_o to_o worship_n a_o material_a and_o create_v be_v as_o the_o supreme_a deity_n or_o second_o to_o ascribe_v any_o corporeal_a form_n or_o shape_n to_o the_o divine_a nature_n yet_o in_o the_o result_n both_o be_v but_o one_o for_o to_o ascribe_v unto_o the_o supreme_a god_n any_o corporeal_a form_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o to_o worship_v a_o create_v be_v for_o so_o be_v every_o corporeal_a substance_n this_o be_v i_o say_v the_o true_a and_o only_a notion_n of_o idolatry_n and_o all_o the_o strange_a god_n mention_v in_o the_o scripture_n be_v only_o some_o most_o glorious_a piece_n of_o the_o visible_a creation_n as_o i_o shall_v prove_v at_o large_a from_o undeniable_a testimony_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n it_o be_v that_o the_o very_a angel_n by_o who_o this_o affair_n be_v immediate_o transact_v never_o make_v any_o appearance_n in_o any_o visible_a shape_n but_o only_o in_o a_o cloud_n or_o in_o a_o glory_n to_o prevent_v the_o very_a peril_n of_o idolatry_n and_o therefore_o moses_n in_o his_o die_a and_o farewell_n speech_n remind_v they_o over_o and_o over_o that_o at_o horeb_n they_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n but_o see_v no_o similitude_n with_o this_o application_n to_o they_o lest_o you_o corrupt_v yourselves_o i._n e._n by_o believe_v that_o there_o can_v be_v any_o similitude_n of_o the_o supreme_a godhead_n and_o as_o this_o be_v the_o literal_a and_o plain_a sense_n of_o the_o two_o first_o commandment_n so_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o only_a design_n of_o the_o three_o and_o four_o for_o the_o english_a of_o the_o three_o if_o it_o be_v right_o translate_v run_v thus_o thou_o shall_v not_o give_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n to_o a_o vanity_n or_o idol_n and_o so_o the_o septuagint_n render_v it_o for_o the_o word_n vanity_n and_o idol_n be_v synonomous_a in_o scripture_n because_o a_o idol_n be_v a_o vain_a and_o empty_a thing_n that_o represent_v nothing_o for_o when_o it_o be_v set_v up_o as_o the_o symbol_n and_o image_n of_o a_o deity_n that_o be_v no_o deity_n it_o be_v the_o image_n of_o nothing_o as_o st._n paul_n
