how_o they_o shall_v worship_v god_n by_o image_n or_o as_o he_o speak_v often_o in_o the_o context_n of_o his_o discourse_n in_o image_n this_o they_o do_v not_o easy_o understand_v when_o he_o lay_v

how_o any_o one_o can_v worship_v god_n by_o image_n and_o in_o image_n but_o either_o for_o the_o real_a presence_n there_o or_o ideal_o imitation_n or_o some_o sort_n of_o occasion_n of_o worship_n

all_o these_o figure_n be_v representation_n of_o his_o humanity_n and_o no_o idea_n of_o his_o deity_n at_o all_o and_o mr._n stillingfleet_n must_v needs_o mean_v one_o of_o these_o two_o way_n for_o otherwise_o he_o can_v not_o charge_v they_o with_o idolatry_n for_o it_o and_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o his_o charge_n be_v false_a and_o slanderous_a but_o if_o he_o mean_v that_o they_o

catholic_n if_o they_o do_v worship_n god_n by_o their_o image_n and_o in_o their_o image_n do_v well_o and_o like_a good_a christian_n but_o the_o doctor_n will_v not_o charge_v they_o i_o suppose_v
