long_o as_o it_o about_o two_o other_o our_o idolatrous_a parcel_n the_o eucharistian_a host_n and_o saint_n for_o idolatry_n be_v such_o a_o rumble_a sound_n that_o he_o think_v not_o fit_a to_o confine_v it_o to_o one_o chapter_n as_o the_o other_o three_o subject_n indevotion_n fanaticisme_n and_o division_n but_o we_o must_v hear_v of_o it_o on_o both_o side_n our_o head_n unto_o our_o double_a confusion_n but_o it_o be_v here_o to_o be_v note_v that_o he_o change_v now_o the_o mode_n of_o his_o sophistry_n in_o to_o a_o new_a kind_n i_o suppose_v for_o his_o reader_n refreshment_n before_o he_o cast_v beam_n now_o he_o throw_v mote_n into_o our_o eye_n our_o image_n he_o confound_v by_o the_o log_n of_o heathen_a idol_n but_o our_o eucharist_n by_o the_o dust_n of_o philosophical_a curiosity_n which_o he_o so_o spread_v abroad_o that_o he_o lose_v his_o own_o eyesight_n §_o 2._o and_o as_o he_o change_v his_o logic_n so_o do_v he_o alter_v his_o phrase_n also_o and_o he_o have_v a_o reason_n for_o that_o too_o in_o his_o first_o chapter_n he_o charge_v we_o with_o worship_v god_n by_o image_n and_o in_o image_n now_o he_o do_v not_o say_v in_o the_o like_a phrase_n that_o we_o worship_n god_n in_o the_o host_n or_o by_o the_o host_n and_o of_o this_o his_o sudden_a change_n of_o phrase_n i_o believe_v every_o reader_n do_v not_o take_v notice_n or_o perceive_v a_o reason_n though_o the_o author_n have_v one_o and_o that_o a_o good_a one_o for_o it_o and_o i_o think_v a_o couple_n for_o first_o a_o waggish_a wit_n must_v so_o provide_v that_o he_o impose_v upon_o his_o adversary_n not_o that_o which_o be_v true_a or_o sound_v true_a but_o what_o be_v or_o sound_v false_a to_o worship_n god_n in_o image_n sound_v false_a but_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o the_o host_n sound_v true_a and_o therefore_o he_o impose_v that_o upon_o catholic_n but_o not_o this_o second_o this_o his_o diversity_n of_o phrase_n bring_v he_o in_o all_o the_o material_n of_o that_o his_o first_o and_o this_o present_a chapter_n which_o he_o can_v never_o by_o any_o force_n have_v hale_v into_o his_o paper_n unless_o he_o have_v careful_o so_o place_v his_o word_n as_o here_o he_o do_v the_o charge_n of_o worship_v god_n in_o image_n give_v he_o occasion_n to_o talk_v how_o such_o a_o worship_n can_v terminate_v upon_o god_n how_o that_o the_o invisible_a deity_n can_v be_v represent_v how_o the_o heathen_n worship_v god_n in_o their_o idol_n how_o that_o aaron_n and_o jeroboam'_v sin_n be_v no_o other_o etc._n etc._n which_o material_n till_o up_o his_o first_o chapter_n and_o have_v all_o fail_v he_o have_v he_o speak_v single_o of_o the_o respect_n which_o catholic_n bear_v to_o their_o holy_a apostle_n and_o martyr_n represent_v either_o to_o their_o ear_n or_o eye_n which_o be_v all_o they_o do_v on_o the_o other_o side_n his_o charge_n of_o worship_v the_o host_n and_o not_o god_n in_o the_o host_n open_v he_o a_o passage_n for_o all_o the_o talk_n of_o this_o his_o second_o chapter_n how_o that_o we_o have_v no_o command_n in_o scripture_n of_o worship_v the_o host_n though_o we_o be_v command_v to_o worship_n christ_n how_o that_o we_o have_v no_o ground_n to_o worship_v the_o element_n how_o that_o we_o can_v be_v sure_a that_o the_o host_n be_v a_o object_n of_o worship_n how_o schoolman_n be_v puzzle_v to_o
