opponent_n do_v themselves_o suppose_v in_o this_o argument_n and_o there_o be_v a_o three_o alteration_n of_o the_o case_n 4._o the_o author_n give_v this_o reason_n wherefore_o meat_n offer_v to_o idol_n may_v not_o be_v eat_v as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o their_o word_n cite_v already_o viz._n because_o there_o be_v other_o meat_n to_o eat_v the_o earth_n be_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o fullness_n thereof_o which_o imply_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o eat_v such_o meat_n in_o case_n none_o other_o can_v be_v have_v now_o this_o be_v our_o case_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o liturgy_n suppose_v it_o to_o be_v establish_v by_o law_n at_o such_o time_n as_o be_v appoint_v for_o the_o use_n of_o the_o liturgy_n there_o be_v no_o other_o prayer_n to_o be_v have_v i_o know_v a_o man_n have_v a_o natural_a power_n to_o put_v up_o other_o prayer_n and_o so_o if_o a_o corinthian_a can_v by_o buy_v or_o beg_v or_o other_o lawful_a mean_n procure_v no_o meat_n but_o what_o have_v be_v offer_v to_o idol_n yet_o he_o have_v a_o natural_a power_n to_o steal_v some_o but_o doubtless_o he_o shall_v rather_o eat_v meat_n offer_v to_o idol_n then_o take_v those_o meat_n which_o be_v another_o man_n propriety_n by_o the_o law_n of_o corinth_n and_o consequent_o such_o as_o he_o have_v no_o right_n to_o and_o doubtless_o a_o english_a minister_n shall_v rather_o use_v the_o prayer_n of_o the_o liturgy_n though_o they_o have_v be_v offer_v in_o a_o idolatrous_a service_n than_o those_o which_o the_o law_n of_o england_n forbid_v he_o to_o meddle_v with_o at_o such_o a_o time_n but_o that_o so_o many_o do_v otherwise_o it_o may_v well_o proceed_v from_o the_o sweetness_n of_o steal_v water_n but_o beside_o this_o restraint_n of_o the_o law_n which_o allow_v we_o no_o other_o word_n to_o use_v most_o man_n be_v further_o restrain_v by_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n except_o they_o have_v ready_a at_o hand_n as_o rich_a a_o sylva_n of_o synonimous_a word_n as_o there_o be_v a_o variety_n of_o meat_n in_o nature_n cornucopia_n for_o a_o man_n can_v hardly_o put_v up_o a_o petition_n without_o use_v some_o word_n that_o be_v use_v in_o the_o mass_n and_o so_o by_o this_o reason_n we_o shall_v not_o pray_v at_o at_o all_o with_o vocal_a prayer_n i_o may_v bring_v the_o author_n to_o another_o absurdity_n by_o argue_v that_o their_o reason_n make_v it_o unlawful_a to_o use_v the_o creed_n as_o a_o public_a profession_n of_o faith_n since_o the_o papist_n use_v it_o and_o the_o author_n will_v not_o allow_v it_o to_o be_v of_o the_o apostle_n make_v but_o i_o fear_v they_o will_v grant_v the_o absurdity_n and_o therefore_o i_o dare_v not_o tempt_v they_o sect_n vi_o the_o scriptture_n that_o they_o bring_v which_o forbid_v the_o jew_n to_o use_v such_o word_n gesture_n and_o action_n as_o idolater_n do_v signify_v nothing_o to_o their_o purpose_n their_o argument_n from_o hos_n 2.15_o 16._o and_o zech._n 13.2_o consider_v popish_a idolatry_n be_v but_o a_o improvement_n of_o the_o nonconformist_n principle_n their_o pretence_n that_o conformity_n be_v a_o step_n to_o popery_n confute_v and_o return_v upon_o themselves_o who_o can_v confute_v a_o papist_n but_o by_o quit_v their_o own_o principle_n i_o have_v now_o produce_v the_o minister_n second_o reason_n with_o all_o the_o force_n which_o they_o have_v assign_v for_o its_o defence_n in_o their_o nine_o chapter_n and_o have_v i_o think_v manifest_v the_o very_a strength_n of_o it_o to_o be_v weakness_n but_o they_o come_v up_o with_o a_o reserve_n in_o the_o postscript_n where_o they_o cite_v multitude_n of_o scripture_n which_o forbid_v the_o hebrew_n to_o use_v such_o word_n gesture_n and_o action_n that_o idolater_n do_v as_o to_o wear_v linsey-wolsey_n garment_n to_o let_v cattle_n engender_v with_o a_o diverse_a kind_n to_o sow_v a_o field_n with_o mingle_a seed_n to_o call_v god_n by_o the_o name_n of_o baali_n but_o i_o suppose_v the_o author_n can_v lawful_o do_v these_o thing_n themselves_o therefore_o i_o ask_v they_o if_o these_o prohibition_n bound_v we_o englishmen_n if_o they_o say_v they_o do_v let_v they_o give_v a_o reason_n why_o they_o transgress_v they_o and_o it_o will_v serve_v their_o brethren_n if_o they_o say_v that_o such_o prohibition_n bound_v we_o not_o to_o forbear_v the_o action_n which_o be_v name_v there_o in_o terminis_fw-la but_o other_o action_n of_o the_o like_a reason_n as_o have_v be_v do_v by_o idolater_n as_o use_v the_o form_n of_o prayer_n that_o be_v use_v by_o the_o papist_n then_o they_o make_v themselves_o ridiculous_a for_o how_o can_v a_o law_n be_v suppose_v to_o forbid_v only_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o name_v because_o they_o bear_v analogy_n and_o proportion_n to_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v name_v when_o the_o thing_n themselves_o which_o be_v name_v express_o in_o the_o law_n be_v not_o forbid_v if_o they_o interpret_v those_o prohibition_n as_o forbid_v we_o to_o do_v such_o thing_n as_o idolater_n do_v not_o in_o civil_a usage_n but_o only_o in_o divine_a worship_n as_o somewhere_o they_o make_v the_o distinction_n than_o we_o be_v to_o labour_v in_o all_o word_n action_n and_o gesture_n in_o which_o we_o be_v leave_v to_o our_o liberty_n to_o go_v contrary_a to_o the_o say_a idolater_n and_o consequent_o if_o they_o have_v the_o sacrament_n at_o noon_n we_o shall_v have_v it_o at_o midnight_n if_o they_o worship_v towards_o the_o east_n we_o shall_v worship_v towards_o the_o west_n as_o the_o author_n say_v the_o jew_n be_v command_v to_o do_v for_o the_o same_o reason_n if_o their_o church_n stand_v east_n and_o west_n we_o shall_v be_v situate_a north_n and_o south_n if_o they_o preach_v out_o of_o a_o pulpit_n we_o shall_v preach_v out_o of_o a_o pew_n if_o their_o head_n be_v bare_a in_o prayer_n we_o shall_v be_v cover_v if_o their_o communion-table_n stand_v in_o the_o chancel_n we_o shall_v stand_v in_o the_o belfry_a in_o all_o which_o respect_v i_o believe_v the_o author_n themselves_o think_v it_o not_o unlawful_a to_o be_v like_o the_o papist_n so_o that_o i_o wonder_v what_o they_o mean_v to_o quote_v so_o many_o text_n forbid_v the_o jew_n to_o be_v like_o the_o idolater_n not_o only_o in_o such_o circumstance_n of_o worship_n as_o i_o have_v name_v but_o even_o in_o some_o punctilio_n much_o more_o trivial_a and_o inconsiderable_a and_o some_o of_o they_o not_o at_o all_o concern_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n as_o sow_v a_o field_n with_o two_o sort_n of_o seed_n there_o be_v more_o show_n of_o strength_n in_o

time_n of_o the_o gospel_n god_n forbid_v all_o mention_n of_o idolatry_n and_o declare_v his_o will_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o much_o as_o remember_v now_o we_o can_v see_v how_o we_o shall_v obey_v those_o precept_n in_o keep_v their_o very_a rite_n mode_n and_o method_n of_o worship_n but_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v a_o reason_n why_o they_o break_v these_o precept_n or_o rather_o prophecy_n by_o use_v such_o rite_n and_o mode_n of_o worship_n as_o idolater_n have_v use_v so_o that_o no_o idolatry_n be_v commit_v in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o any_o more_o than_o by_o remember_v
