the_o name_n of_o jesus_n it_o tend_v to_o magnify_v one_o name_n of_o christ_n with_o the_o disparagement_n of_o all_o ergo._n the_o major_n i_o take_v for_o clear_a and_o grant_v because_o whatever_o reflect_v prejudice_n upon_o any_o the_o great_a and_o sacred_a name_n and_o title_n of_o god_n upon_o any_o pretence_n whatsoever_o be_v not_o to_o be_v endure_v the_o minor_a be_v thus_o confirm_v because_o this_o name_n only_o be_v judge_v a_o fit_a medium_n of_o convey_v a_o special_a honour_n or_o service_n to_o christ_n other_o not_o thought_n worthy_a of_o fuch_v a_o office_n or_o employment_n this_o must_v needs_o turn_v to_o a_o reproach_n unto_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v all_o be_v defective_a this_o way_n in_o comparison_n of_o this_o one_o object_n neither_o be_v it_o any_o part_n of_o satisfaction_n to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o deny_v unto_o the_o rest_n man_n may_v do_v the_o same_o reverence_n upon_o the_o mention_n of_o any_o other_o name_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v resp_n 1._o that_o it_o manifest_o argue_v a_o comparlative_a contempt_n when_o there_o be_v honour_n and_o reverence_n settle_v upon_o one_o by_o a_o law_n and_o man_n set_v at_o liberty_n to_o deal_v with_o the_o rest_n as_o they_o please_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o the_o lawmakers_a take_v not_o much_o care_n what_o become_v of_o the_o rest_n so_o the_o name_n they_o have_v fancy_v may_v be_v exalt_v that_o their_o fancy_n likewise_o may_v be_v exalt_v with_o it_o 2._o if_o this_o knee-service_n be_v do_v upon_o the_o mention_n of_o every_o name_n or_o title_n of_o christ_n beside_o sometime_o it_o may_v so_o fall_v out_o viz._n when_o such_o name_n come_v many_o or_o very_o oft_o together_o that_o it_o may_v make_v the_o body_n of_o the_o service_n ridiculous_a and_o a_o good_a part_n of_o a_o little_a better_o than_o a_o mere_a distraction_n ergo_fw-la the_o liberty_n that_o be_v leave_v to_o man_n in_o this_o case_n do_v not_o ease_v the_o business_n at_o all_o because_o if_o it_o be_v take_v in_o the_o way_n by_o which_o it_o be_v intend_v the_o other_o name_n of_o christ_n shall_v be_v bring_v to_o a_o equality_n of_o honour_n with_o that_o of_o jesus_n the_o truth_n be_v that_o it_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o do_v this_o that_o it_o will_v bring_v they_o altogether_o one_o and_o other_o without_o exception_n into_o contempt_n arg._n ix_o that_o worship_n of_o christ_n which_o reflect_v disparagement_n upon_o the_o other_o two_o person_n as_o if_o they_o be_v inferior_a to_o he_o and_o worthy_a less_o honour_n be_v at_o no_o hand_n to_o be_v allow_v but_o this_o worship_n be_v such_o a_o worship_n enjoin_v only_o to_o the_o second_o person_n it_o be_v true_a god_n have_v give_v all_o the_o honour_n and_o dignity_n unto_o christ_n whereof_o he_o now_o stand_v possess_v as_o mediator_n to_o this_o end_n that_o all_o man_n shall_v honour_v the_o son_n as_o they_o honour_v the_o father_n john_n 7.22_o 23._o but_o that_o man_n shall_v honour_v he_o above_o the_o father_n or_o with_o any_o such_o kind_n of_o worship_n wherewith_o the_o father_n be_v not_o honour_v there_o be_v no_o scripture_n will_v bear_v it_o nor_o the_o analogy_n of_o faith_n endure_v it_o obj._n if_o it_o be_v reply_v and_o say_v that_o the_o same_o honour_n and_o worship_n may_v be_v exhibit_v to_o the_o other_o person_n when_o man_n will_v they_o be_v not_o restrain_v in_o this_o case_n resp_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v in_o effect_n as_o before_o this_o liberty_n leave_v unto_o man_n do_v no_o way_n justify_v the_o command_n by_o which_o that_o special_a and_o peculiar_a worship_n to_o the_o second_o person_n be_v enjoin_v the_o other_o two_o person_n be_v pass_v over_o it_o provide_v no_o such_o worship_n either_o for_o the_o father_n or_o holy_a ghost_n it_o give_v man_n liberty_n as_o well_o to_o deprive_v they_o of_o it_o as_o to_o refer_v it_o unto_o they_o obj._n neither_o be_v it_o of_o any_o great_a value_n to_o say_v and_o pretend_v that_o in_o bow_v to_o christ_n we_o bow_v to_o the_o whole_a trinity_n in_o he_o and_o that_o it_o be_v no_o more_o disparagement_n to_o the_o other_o person_n to_o refer_v a_o special_a honour_n upon_o christ_n so_o they_o be_v not_o exclude_v in_o it_o than_o for_o a_o man_n to_o direct_v his_o prayer_n unto_o any_o one_o of_o the_o person_n alone_o be_v no_o disparagement_n or_o neglect_n of_o the_o other_o if_o he_o do_v not_o exclude_v they_o though_o he_o address_v himself_o actual_o to_o one_o only_a in_o prayer_n resp_n 1._o to_o this_o the_o reply_n be_v that_o the_o case_n be_v altogether_o unlike_a because_o first_o though_o it_o be_v lawful_a at_o any_o time_n to_o direct_v a_o man_n prayer_n to_o any_o one_o of_o the_o three_o person_n but_o suppose_v the_o other_o two_o not_o exclude_v though_o they_o be_v not_o actual_o intend_v yet_o be_v there_o strict_a provision_n make_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o command_v give_v for_o the_o same_o divine_a worship_n to_o be_v exhibit_v to_o they_o all_o whereas_o this_o worship_n of_o bow_v be_v by_o the_o commandment_n settle_v only_o upon_o the_o second_o person_n and_o not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o least_o mention_n make_v of_o either_o of_o the_o other_o as_o have_v any_o right_a to_o communicate_v in_o the_o same_o worship_n with_o he_o 2._o a_o man_n direct_v his_o prayer_n at_o one_o time_n to_o one_o of_o the_o person_n in_o particular_a may_v at_o another_o time_n direct_v it_o to_o another_o and_o a_o three_o time_n to_o the_o three_o and_o so_o the_o equality_n of_o the_o three_o person_n be_v full_o acknowledge_v but_o in_o the_o command_n and_o tender_v of_o this_o knee-worship_n a_o man_n be_v only_o send_v with_o it_o to_o the_o son_n neither_o will_v it_o serve_v or_o be_v accept_v to_o tender_v this_o honour_n to_o the_o son_n in_o the_o father_n or_o in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o in_o prayer_n it_o be_v accept_v with_o god_n but_o it_o will_v suffice_v if_o the_o father_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v worship_v in_o the_o son_n yea_o if_o they_o be_v not_o worship_v it_o will_v serve_v also_o by_o which_o it_o appear_v evident_o that_o there_o be_v a_o wide_a difference_n between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o 3._o if_o the_o scripture_n have_v limit_v or_o restrain_v the_o duty_n or_o worship_n of_o prayer_n to_o one_o of_o the_o person_n only_o limit_v i_o mean_v in_o such_o a_o sense_n that_o it_o have_v mention_v only_o this_o one_o person_n as_o capable_a of_o this_o worship_n and_o have_v give_v no_o intimation_n of_o a_o like_a capacity_n in_o the_o other_o two_o though_o it_o have_v not_o express_o except_v against_o they_o in_o this_o behalf_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o it_o have_v establish_v at_o least_o strong_o intimate_v a_o inequality_n between_o the_o person_n and_o give_v a_o pre-eminence_n to_o the_o one_o above_o the_o other_o two_o this_o be_v the_o very_a case_n of_o this_o precept_n for_o bow_v at_o the_o name_n jesus_n there_o be_v a_o full_a establishment_n of_o a_o capacity_n of_o this_o worship_n in_o the_o second_o person_n but_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o intimation_n give_v of_o the_o like_a capacity_n in_o either_o of_o the_o other_o ergo_fw-la it_o direct_o tend_v to_o set_v up_o a_o conceit_n of_o a_o inequality_n between_o the_o person_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o to_o be_v assent_v unto_o arg._n x._o no_o outward_a worship_n or_o service_n of_o god_n that_o can_v have_v no_o other_o reasonable_a end_n but_o only_o to_o entrap_v and_o ensnare_v the_o faithful_a servant_n of_o god_n be_v not_o to_o be_v endure_v but_o such_o be_v this_o bowing-worship_n ergo._n object_n but_o if_o it_o be_v here_o except_v and_o say_v it_o serve_v to_o testify_v the_o inward_a reverence_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o soul_n how_o it_o stand_v affect_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o what_o can_v be_v a_o more_o real_a end_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v resp_n 1._o it_o be_v command_v to_o be_v do_v whether_o the_o heart_n be_v inward_o affect_v or_o no_o to_o god_n so_o that_o if_o that_o be_v the_o intent_n of_o it_o to_o express_v the_o inward_a reverence_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o christ_n then_o be_v the_o command_a of_o it_o a_o snare_n unto_o man_n to_o entangle_v they_o with_o the_o sin_n of_o hypocrisy_n because_o it_o be_v not_o in_o any_o man_n power_n to_o have_v his_o heart_n inward_o affect_v when_o he_o please_v but_o the_o command_n of_o bowing_n enjoin_v he_o to_o the_o outward_a worship_n whether_o he_o find_v his_o heart_n inward_o affect_v yea_o or_o no._n now_o to_o compel_v a_o man_n to_o make_v profession_n of_o some_o good_a that_o be_v not_o in_o truth_n in_o he_o what_o
