who_o be_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n he_o have_v declare_v he_o ignorance_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o pagan_a idolatry_n because_o they_o do_v not_o know_v the_o true_a god_n they_o worship_v any_o thing_n every_o thing_n for_o a_o god_n and_o therefore_o the_o most_o effectual_a course_n to_o cure_v idolatry_n be_v to_o make_v know_v the_o true_a god_n to_o the_o world_n for_o those_o man_n be_v inexcusable_a who_o know_v the_o true_a god_n and_o worship_n any_o thing_n else_o though_o indeed_o according_a to_o some_o man_n divinity_n the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a god_n cure_v idolatry_n not_o by_o root_a out_o idolatrous_a worship_n but_o by_o excuse_v it_o by_o make_v that_o to_o be_v no_o idolatry_n in_o a_o christian_a who_o know_v god_n which_o be_v idolatry_n in_o a_o heathen_a who_o do_v not_o know_v he_o for_o if_o as_o some_o say_v none_o can_v be_v guilty_a of_o idolatry_n who_o acknowledge_v one_o supreme_a be_v then_o the_o heathen_n when_o once_o they_o be_v instruct_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o one_o true_a god_n may_v have_v worship_v all_o their_o country_n god_n which_o they_o do_v before_o without_o be_v guilty_a of_o idolatry_n which_o be_v as_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o man_n be_v a_o rebel_n who_o through_o mistake_n and_o ignorance_n own_v any_o man_n for_o his_o prince_n who_o be_v not_o his_o prince_n

when_o he_o tempt_v he_o to_o fall_v down_o and_o worship_v he_o but_o he_o give_v such_o a_o answer_n as_o exclude_v all_o creature_n not_o only_o bad_a but_o good_a spirit_n from_o any_o share_n in_o religious_a worship_n our_o saviour_n do_v not_o deny_v to_o worship_v he_o mere_o because_o he_o be_v the_o devil_n though_o that_o a_o man_n may_v do_v without_o the_o guilt_n of_o idolatry_n who_o know_v he_o to_o be_v the_o devil_n if_o those_o man_n be_v in_o the_o right_n who_o allow_v nothing_o to_o be_v idolatry_n but_o to_o worship_v some_o be_v for_o the_o supreme_a god_n who_o be_v not_o supreme_a for_o than_o you_o may_v worship_v the_o devil_n without_o the_o guilt_n of_o idolatry_n if_o you_o do_v not_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v the_o supreme_a god_n but_o our_o saviour_n reason_n for_o not_o worship_v he_o be_v because_o we_o must_v worship_v none_o but_o god._n which_o be_v as_o good_a a_o reason_n against_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o most_o glorious_a angel_n as_o of_o the_o devil_n himself_o nay_o our_o saviour_n deny_v to_o worship_v he_o though_o the_o devil_n make_v no_o term_n with_o he_o about_o the_o kind_n or_o degree_n of_o worship_n he_o do_v not_o require_v he_o to_o offer_v sacrifice_n to_o he_o which_o be_v the_o only_a act_n of_o worship_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n appropriate_v to_o the_o supreme_a god_n but_o only_a to_o bow_v down_o before_o he_o as_o a_o expression_n of_o religious_a devotion_n he_o do_v not_o demand_v that_o degree_n of_o worship_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n call_v latria_n and_o appropriate_n to_o the_o supreme_a god_n nay_o he_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o supreme_a god_n for_o he_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o dispose_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n in_o his_o own_o right_n but_o say_v they_o be_v give_v to_o he_o and_o he_o have_v power_n to_o give_v they_o to_o who_o he_o please_v in_o which_o he_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o have_v a_o superior_a and_o therefore_o can_v not_o in_o the_o same_o breath_n desire_n to_o be_v own_v and_o worship_v as_o the_o supreme_a but_o our_o saviour_n deny_v to_o give_v he_o this_o inferior_a degree_n of_o worship_n and_o thereby_o teach_v we_o that_o no_o degree_n of_o religious_a worship_n must_v be_v give_v to_o any_o be_v but_o the_o supreme_a god._n and_o because_o mankind_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o worship_v inferior_a daemon_n as_o believe_v they_o to_o have_v the_o care_n of_o this_o low_a world_n and_o that_o it_o be_v in_o their_o power_n to_o do_v great_a good_a to_o they_o to_o answer_v their_o prayer_n and_o to_o mediate_v for_o they_o with_o the_o superior_a deity_n or_o with_o the_o supreme_a god_n if_o they_o believe_v one_o supreme_a which_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o receive_a notion_n among_o they_o to_o prevent_v this_o kind_n of_o idolatry_n god_n advance_v his_o own_o son_n to_o be_v the_o universal_a mediator_n and_o the_o supreme_a and_o sovereign_a lord_n of_o the_o world_n that_o all_o mankind_n shall_v make_v their_o address_n and_o application_n to_o he_o and_o offer_v up_o their_o prayer_n only_o in_o his_o name_n that_o in_o he_o they_o shall_v find_v acceptance_n and_o in_o no_o other_o name_n which_o be_v the_o most_o effectual_a way_n to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o worship_n of_o all_o inferior_a deity_n and_o creature-patron_n and_o advocate_n for_o when_o we_o be_v assure_v that_o no_o other_o be_v can_v mediate_v for_o we_o with_o effect_n and_o power_n but_o only_o christ_n it_o be_v natural_a to_o worship_n no_o other_o mediator_n but_o he_o who_o be_v the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n may_v be_v worship_v without_o danger_n of_o idolatry_n thus_o st._n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o though_o the_o heathen_a world_n have_v god_n many_o and_o lord_n many_o 6._o
