if_o you_o can_v demonstrate_v that_o this_o gesture_n be_v either_o use_v as_o a_o proper_a part_n of_o god_n worship_n or_o else_o that_o it_o receive_v from_o we_o that_o popish_a adoration_n

preposition_n of_o by_o in_o before_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o creature_n be_v consequent_o to_o forbid_v we_o to_o pray_v by_o or_o with_o our_o tongue_n the_o instrument_n of_o adoration_n

our_o purpose_n whereby_o it_o be_v usual_o divide_v into_o these_o two_o member_n the_o one_o be_v call_v active_a the_o other_o passive_a sect_n iii_o our_o i._o subdivision_n of_o active_a

manner_n of_o scandal_n be_v when_o the_o act_n be_v evil_a in_o itself_o thus_o the_o act_n of_o david_n murder_n be_v scandalous_a 12.24_o and_o this_o kind_n of_o scandal_n be_v no_o way_n excusable_a be_v evil_a ratione_fw-la obiecti_fw-la which_o be_v proper_o sin_n the_o indirect_a scandal_n be_v see_v in_o act_n which_o be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n good_a or_o at_o least_o not_o evil_a but_o yet_o because_o either_o in_o respect_n of_o time_n or_o place_n or_o of_o some_o other_o circumstance_n the_o act_n do_v occasional_o fall_v out_o to_o be_v scandalous_a as_o do_v the_o

this_o indirect_a scandal_n may_v happen_v to_o be_v after_o two_o sort_n sometime_o without_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o agent_n who_o have_v no_o meaning_n to_o give_v any_o such_o offence_n of_o which_o kind_n we_o may_v reckon_v the_o fact_n of_o saint_n peter_n when_o he_o do_v so_o partial_o apply_v himself_o unto_o the_o jew_n to_o the_o scandal_n of_o the_o gentile_n and_o this_o we_o call_v the_o less_o sin_n the_o other_o manner_n of_o indirect_a scandal_n be_v that_o which_o sometime_o proceed_v from_o the_o wicked_a intent_n in_o the_o scandalizer_n and_o such_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o many_o heretic_n 2.11_o who_o will_v use_v fast_n and_o other_o ceremony_n of_o devotion_n and_o austerity_n to_o draw_v disciple_n after_o they_o and_o to_o seduce_v man_n from_o the_o truth_n of_o christ._n thus_o much_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o party_n agent_n sect_n four_o our_a 2._o subdivision_n of_o active_a scandal_n in_o respect_n of_o person_n offend_v either_o weak_a

not_o thereby_o scandalize_v that_o be_v not_o so_o offend_v as_o to_o stumble_v and_o fall_v and_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v say_v 16._o that_o peter_n do_v scandalize_v christ_n himself_o when_o wish_v christ_n to_o favour_v himself_o and_o not_o to_o die_v he_o receive_v that_o answer_n from_o christ_n satan_n thou_o be_v a_o scandal_n unto_o i_o for_o albeit_o this_o motion_n proceed_v from_o a_o

the_o party_n sect_n v._o our_o 3._o subsidivision_n of_o active_a scandal_n in_o respect_n both_o of_o person_n and_o cause_n either_o determine_v vndetermine_v a_o three_o subdivision_n be_v both_o

they_o eat_v say_v the_o apostle_n make_v no_o question_n for_o conscience_n sake_n 10.25_o why_o because_o god_n have_v give_v man_n a_o liberty_n to_o use_v such_o thing_n or_o not_o to_o use_v
