give_v the_o cross_n be_v likewise_o a_o adore_v of_o god_n under_o a_o symbol_n and_o representation_n and_o thus_o we_o have_v see_v the_o parallel_n of_o rome-heathen_a and_o rome-christian_a run_v but_o too_o too_o just_a but_o the_o next_o kind_n of_o the_o heathen_n idolatry_n be_v their_o worship_v of_o other_o beside_o god_n who_o they_o hold_v of_o two_o rank_n some_o that_o be_v so_o

this_o kind_n of_o idolatry_n be_v first_o begin_v at_o babylon_n where_o nin_n be_v make_v the_o statue_n of_o his_o father_n belus_n be_v set_v up_o and_o worship_v it_o and_o from_o he_o all_o these_o lesser_a god_n be_v call_v belim_n or_o baalim_fw-la now_o concern_v these_o the_o heathen_n believe_v that_o they_o be_v certain_a intermedial_a power_n that_o go_v betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n by_o who_o all_o good_a thing_n be_v convey_v to_o mortal_n by_o who_o also_o all_o our_o service_n be_v offer_v to_o the_o god_n thus_o the_o nation_n have_v god_n many_o and_o lord_n many_o 1_o cor._n 8._o 5._o and_o these_o lesser_a deity_n or_o d●…mons_n they_o adore_v by_o erect_v statue_n to_o they_o about_o their_o burial_n place_n where_o they_o build_v temple_n for_o they_o and_o worship_v they_o and_o from_o this_o hint_n of_o babylon_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o this_o kind_n of_o idolatry_n we_o may_v guess_v why_o the_o apostasy_n of_o that_o city_n which_o in_o st._n johns_n day_n do_v reign_v over_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o earth_n rev._n 17._o 18._o be_v shadow_v forth_o under_o the_o name_n of_o babylon_n to_o hold_v out_o that_o the_o corruption_n it_o be_v to_o fall_v into_o be_v to_o be_v of_o a_o kind_n with_o that_o begin_v in_o babylon_n and_o the_o character_n of_o the_o whore_n do_v likewise_o agree_v well_o with_o this_o now_o if_o we_o compare_v with_o this_o the_o worship_n of_o angel_n and_o saint_n in_o the_o roman_a church_n we_o shall_v find_v the_o parity_n just_a and_o exact_a for_o after_o the_o conversion_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o in_o order_n to_o the_o gain_n of_o the_o heathen_a world_n to_o a_o compliance_n with_o christianity_n the_o christian_n do_v as_o near_o as_o be_v possible_o accommodate_v themselves_o to_o the_o heathenish_a custom_n and_o therefore_o in_o stead_n of_o their_o god_n they_o set_v up_o the_o daemon_n and_o baal-worship_n to_o the_o apostle_n and_o other_o saint_n and_o martyr_n which_o theodorat_n do_v most_o ingenious_o acknowledge_v to_o have_v be_v set_v in_o the_o stead_n of_o their_o god_n they_o become_v afterward_o so_o exact_a in_o the_o parallel_n that_o as_o the_o heathen_n have_v of_o these_o lesser_a god_n for_o every_o nation_n so_o there_o be_v a_o saint_n appoint_v for_o every_o nation_n st._n andrew_n for_o scotland_n st._n george_n for_o england_n st._n patrick_n for_o ireland_n and_o many_o more_o for_o other_o nation_n and_o as_o every_o house_n among_o the_o heathen_n have_v their_o household_n god_n so_o every_o person_n be_v teach_v to_o have_v a_o tutelar_a saint_n and_o angel_n and_o as_o among_o the_o heathen_a there_o be_v god_n for_o all_o trade_n for_o all_o sickness_n and_o for_o every_o virtue_n so_o in_o antichristianism_n there_o be_v saint_n for_o every_o disease_n for_o every_o profession_n and_o for_o all_o the_o grace_n and_o as_o the_o heathen_n build_v temple_n for_o they_o so_o do_v also_o babylonish_n rome_n and_o here_o a_o odd_a remark_n be_v in_o my_o way_n of_o this_o conformity_n that_o the_o pantheon_n at_o rome_n dedicate_v in_o augustus_n his_o time_n to_o cybele_n the_o mother_n of_o the_o god_n and_o to_o all_o the_o god_n be_v afterward_o consecrate_v to_o the_o virgin_n and_o all_o the_o saint_n and_o as_o the_o heathen_n offer_v prayer_n make_v vow_n observe_v day_n bring_v present_n use_v procession_n in_o honour_n to_o these_o lesser_a god_n and_o worship_v their_o statue_n and_o image_n so_o all_o this_o by_o degree_n creep_v into_o rome-christian_a as_o may_v be_v branch_v out_o in_o more_o particular_n than_o the_o nature_n of_o so_o short_a a_o discouse_n will_v allow_v of_o it_o be_v true_a the_o worship_n of_o image_n come_v
