people_n can_v ever_o think_v of_o decline_v then_o to_o any_o heathen_a idolatry_n first_o because_o they_o have_v no_o pretence_n of_o do_v so_o as_o though_o the_o very_a absence_n of_o moses_n who_o they_o have_v long_o expect_v and_o now_o think_v lose_v be_v not_o pretence_n enough_o unto_o some_o lead_a man_n in_o the_o camp_n to_o raise_v a_o sedition_n and_o thereby_o force_n aaron_n to_o make_v they_o such_o idol_n as_o they_o be_v acquaint_v with_o in_o egypt_n it_o be_v well_o enough_o know_v that_o by_o the_o contagion_n of_o those_o lead_a man_n the_o camp_n be_v ever_o and_o anon_o in_o such_o like_a tumult_n and_o ready_a disposition_n to_o apostasy_n his_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o no_o intimation_n be_v make_v that_o they_o sell_v into_o heathen_a idolatry_n what_o intimation_n be_v give_v thereof_o by_o the_o prophet_n and_o st._n stephen_n he_o take_v it_o seem_v for_o no_o intimation_n at_o all_o when_o they_o fall_v say_v he_o into_o heathen_a idolatry_n mention_n be_v make_v of_o their_o god_n as_o baal_n peor_n moloch_n remphan_n but_o here_o aaron_n be_v say_v to_o make_v a_o feast_n to_o the_o lord_n as_o though_o there_o be_v not_o egyptian_a idol_n as_o well_o as_o syrian_n and_o osiris_n and_o isis_n as_o well_o as_o moloch_n and_o remphan_n and_o a_o feast_n make_v in_o honour_n of_o this_o their_o new_a god_n and_o religion_n may_v well_o be_v say_v a_o feast_n to_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v a_o policy_n in_o aaron_n thus_o to_o speak_v that_o the_o common_a people_n may_v not_o sudden_o discern_v the_o alteration_n and_o we_o may_v easy_o believe_v that_o the_o lead_a man_n who_o bring_v he_o by_o persuasion_n and_o force_n unto_o this_o apostasy_n suggest_v the_o say_a stratagem_n first_o to_o get_v the_o people_n more_o universal_o on_o their_o side_n without_o commotion_n and_o then_o to_o put_v something_o into_o their_o mouth_n for_o to_o say_v to_o moses_n if_o he_o shall_v chance_v to_o come_v upon_o they_o sudden_o and_o take_v they_o beyond_o expectation_n in_o the_o fact_n for_o that_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a pretence_n of_o policy_n be_v evident_a by_o this_o that_o they_o give_v to_o moses_n no_o such_o account_n of_o any_o feast_n make_v unto_o their_o ancient_a true_a god_n and_o second_o because_o their_o principal_a leader_n have_v no_o purpose_n to_o make_v any_o for_o they_o have_v now_o forget_v and_o put_v away_o their_o own_o true_a god_n and_o cast_v he_o out_o of_o their_o mind_n as_o holy_a text_n speak_v obliti_fw-la sunt_fw-la dei_fw-la svi_fw-la the_o calf_n set_v up_o by_o jeroboam_n in_o dan_n and_o bethel_n be_v only_o to_o keep_v the_o people_n from_o go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n and_o not_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o any_o idolatry_n of_o

for_o a_o honourable_a memory_n of_o their_o holy_a martyr_n and_o apostle_n but_o what_o ho●our_n can_v one_o of_o those_o image_n be_v to_o god_n none_o at_o all_o i_o think_v except_o indirect_o
