all_o mean_v not_o only_o to_o carry_v our_o mind_n above_o those_o thing_n on_o earth_n which_o be_v worship_v by_o the_o heathen_a for_o god_n but_o above_o those_o who_o the_o scripture_n call_v god_n by_o which_o origen_n mean_v the_o angel_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v plain_a from_o the_o very_a word_n themselves_o that_o the_o worship_n which_o origen_n here_o contend_v ought_v not_o to_o be_v give_v to_o angel_n be_v divine_a worship_n proper_a to_o god_n alone_o for_o he_o speak_v only_o of_o that_o worship_n which_o be_v give_v to_o the_o father_n inseparable_o

heathen_n for_o god_n but_o above_o the_o good_a angel_n also_o because_o they_o be_v not_o inseparable_o and_o indivisible_o one_o with_o the_o father_n as_o the_o son_n be_v who_o alone_o can_v conduct_v we_o by_o his_o grace_n and_o merit_n to_o the_o father_n and_o this_o be_v yet_o more_o plain_a from_o the_o reply_n which_o origen_n give_v to_o that_o evasion_n of_o celsus_n viz._n that_o none_o be_v to_o be_v honour_v for_o god_n but_o those_o to_o who_o the_o supreme_a god_n do_v communicate_v it_o for_o deny_v any_o such_o honour_n to_o have_v be_v grant_v by_o god_n to_o the_o hero_n or_o daemon_n of_o the_o heathen_n he_o prove_v from_o miracle_n and_o prophecy_n and_o precept_n that_o this_o honour_n be_v give_v to_o christ_n ut_fw-la omnes_fw-la honorent_fw-la filium_fw-la sicut_fw-la patrem_fw-la honorant_fw-la that_o all_o shall_v honour_v the_o son_n as_o they_o honour_v the_o father_n that_o be_v that_o they_o shall_v honour_v he_o as_o god_n which_o the_o doctor_n translate_v that_o they_o who_o honour_v the_o father_n shall_v honour_v the_o son_n also_o tacit_o insinuate_v that_o no_o honour_n at_o all_o m●ght_n be_v lawful_o give_v but_o to_o the_o son_n and_o again_o when_o celsus_n object_n that_o by_o the_o same_o rule_n that_o christian_n give_v honour_n to_o christ_n he_o think_v they_o may_v give_v it_o to_o inferior_a deity_n the_o account_n which_o origen_n give_v of_o the_o worship_n which_o christian_n attribute_v to_o the_o son_n viz._n because_o it_o be_v say_v i_o and_o my_o father_n be_v one_o make_v it_o yet_o more_o evident_a that_o he_o speak_v of_o divine_a worship_n which_o can_v be_v give_v to_o any_o create_a being_n and_o not_o of_o such_o a_o inferior_a worship_n of_o which_o creature_n be_v capable_a upon_o account_n of_o their_o holiness_n and_o relation_n to_o god_n for_o of_o these_o he_o say_v and_o who_o will_v not_o wonder_v to_o see_v it_o cite_v though_o but_o imperfect_o by_o the_o doctor_n himself_o that_o if_o celsus_n have_v speak_v of_o the_o true_a minister_n of_o god_n after_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n 148._o such_o as_o gabriel_n michael_n and_o all_o the_o angel_n and_o

the_o notion_n of_o worship_n or_o respect_n and_o the_o action_n of_o those_o that_o give_v it_o perhaps_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v something_o of_o that_o subject_a as_o far_o as_o the_o dignity_n of_o so_o great_a a_o thing_n and_o the_o reach_n of_o his_o understanding_n will_v have_v permit_v but_o this_o not_o be_v object_v by_o celsus_n but_o only_o that_o they_o be_v by_o the_o same_o rule_n by_o which_o they_o worship_v christ_n for_o god_n to_o worship_v in_o like_a manner_n the_o inferior_a deity_n of_o the_o heathen_n he_o think_v it_o not_o necessary_a to_o enlarge_v upon_o that_o subject_a at_o present_a but_o only_o to_o show_v the_o different_a account_n upon_o which_o they_o worship_v christ_n as_o one_o with_o his_o father_n by_o which_o it_o be_v manifest_a he_o hold_v a_o certain_a worship_n or_o respect_v due_a to_o the_o angel_n inferior_a to_o that_o which_o be_v due_a to_o god_n alone_o cell_n and_o all_o that_o the_o doctor_n have_v to_o say_v for_o
