be_v oftentimes_o fast_o bind_v by_o sickness_n imprisonment_n or_o necessary_a calling_n yet_o be_v it_o allow_v to_o have_v access_n unto_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o present_v he_o with_o such_o sigh_n and_o groan_n and_o ejaculation_n and_o thanks_o as_o it_o think_v good_a four_o that_o no_o sacrilegious_a disposition_n may_v take_v up_o this_o trick_n of_o rob_v the_o lord_n by_o excuse_v the_o neglect_n of_o it_o by_o the_o littleness_n or_o poornesse_n of_o it_o the_o lord_n himself_o have_v say_v it_o and_o swear_v it_o that_o unto_o he_o every_o knee_n shall_v bow_v 23._o which_o also_o he_o apostle_n extend_v to_o the_o knee_n of_o thing_n in_o heaven_n 2.10_o and_o thing_n on_o earth_n and_o thing_n creep_v under_o the_o earth_n he_o give_v we_o fair_o and_o plain_o to_o know_v that_o the_o least_o ability_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n not_o only_o may_v but_o also_o must_v find_v a_o knee_n to_o bend_v unto_o he_o our_o least_o muscle_n and_o knuckle_n inclination_n and_o disposition_n have_v more_o composition_n than_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n and_o more_o understanding_n than_o the_o nature_n of_o worm_n and_o creep_a thing_n have_v yea_o the_o very_a hair_n of_o your_o head_n be_v number_v say_v our_o saviour_n 10.30_o and_o therefore_o if_o the_o lord_n keep_v a_o reckon_n of_o our_o hair_n shall_v we_o think_v he_o will_v neglect_v the_o excellency_n and_o honour_n of_o our_o substantial_a ability_n the_o least_o lift_v up_o of_o the_o eye_n or_o the_o least_o motion_n of_o the_o lip_n be_v able_a to_o do_v god_n more_o honour_n than_o multitude_n of_o our_o hair_n who_o know_v not_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o the_o lord_n sometime_o reject_v some_o kind_n of_o honour_n as_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o lip_n the_o tongue_n the_o eye_n etc._n etc._n but_o it_o be_v not_o because_o they_o be_v small_a and_o little_a but_o because_o they_o that_o offer_v they_o be_v false_a and_o double_a and_o think_v with_o their_o lip-labour_n to_o be_v quit_v of_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o to_o keep_v their_o heart_n and_o substantial_a part_n to_o themselves_o even_o like_v unto_o deceitful_a debtor_n which_o with_o the_o tender_v a_o small_a sum_n of_o money_n intend_v to_o defeat_v their_o creditor_n of_o the_o main_a for_o else_o as_o the_o penny_n be_v as_o good_a silver_n as_o the_o pound_n and_o have_v the_o king_n stamp_n as_o well_o as_o the_o pound_n may_v not_o be_v reject_v from_o bear_v a_o part_n in_o the_o king_n tribute_n no_o more_o than_o the_o pound_n so_o the_o tongue_n and_o the_o lip_n and_o never_o so_o outward_a ability_n be_v the_o workmanship_n of_o god_n no_o less_o than_o the_o part_n most_o inward_a and_o supreme_a may_v not_o be_v debar_v from_o tender_v their_o office_n and_o service_n unto_o the_o lord_n no_o more_o than_o the_o part_n never_o so_o able_a and_o supreme_a the_o withhold_v the_o least_o of_o they_o be_v of_o force_n to_o make_v our_o great_a honour_n imperfect_a as_o the_o want_n of_o a_o farthing_n may_v hinder_v the_o clear_n of_o the_o debt_n and_o their_o access_n be_v of_o force_n to_o make_v the_o great_a honour_n the_o great_a as_o the_o least_o digit_fw-la be_v of_o force_n to_o give_v a_o augmentation_n to_o the_o great_a number_n we_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o as_o the_o lord_n appoint_v we_o to_o perform_v divers_a kind_n of_o honour_n unto_o sundry_a sort_n of_o man_n be_v not_o of_o force_n to_o dispossess_v himself_o of_o those_o honour_n so_o also_o neither_o be_v the_o commonness_n or_o littleness_n of_o any_o kind_n of_o honour_n of_o any_o force_n to_o exempt_v or_o dismiss_v the_o same_o from_o belong_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o the_o first_o ground_n of_o our_o demonstration_n be_v most_o certain_a and_o manifest_a namely_o that_o all_o kind_n of_o honour_n glory_n and_o praise_n of_o what_o degree_n or_o kind_n soever_o be_v whole_o and_o perpetual_o due_a only_o unto_o the_o lord_n and_o consequent_o that_o no_o degree_n or_o kind_n of_o honour_n whatsoever_o may_v be_v give_v to_o any_o kind_n of_o creature_n much_o less_o to_o the_o image_n of_o any_o kind_n of_o creature_n but_o only_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o lord_n express_v and_o special_a appointment_n even_o no_o more_o than_o a_o creditor_n money_n may_v be_v pay_v unto_o any_o but_o such_o as_o the_o creditor_n have_v assign_v to_o receive_v it_o now_o that_o the_o lord_n never_o assign_v nor_o appoint_v any_o kind_n of_o honour_n to_o be_v do_v unto_o image_n we_o must_v take_v it_o for_o grant_v and_o assure_o believe_v it_o until_o we_o find_v his_o express_a word_n under_o his_o own_o hand-writing_n for_o it_o and_o lest_o any_o shall_v busy_v themselves_o unprofitable_o and_o misspend_v precious_a time_n about_o seek_v for_o some_o text_n and_o parcel_n of_o scripture_n to_o prove_v such_o a_o matter_n we_o shall_v give_v they_o a_o sufficient_a item_n to_o save_v they_o that_o labour_n and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o unless_o the_o scripture_n which_o they_o bring_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o image_n be_v far_o more_o plain_a peremptory_a and_o abundant_a than_o any_o that_o can_v be_v bring_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o man_n as_o parent_n prince_n master_n etc._n etc._n they_o must_v not_o be_v admit_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o our_o item_n and_o caveat_n be_v this_o because_o man_n be_v reasonable_a and_o understand_a creature_n and_o such_o as_o be_v able_a to_o improve_v the_o honour_n that_o be_v do_v unto_o they_o unto_o the_o honour_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n not_o incredible_a unto_o flesh_n and_o blood_n that_o some_o degree_n and_o kind_n of_o honour_n shall_v be_v do_v to_o they_o and_o therefore_o a_o few_o word_n from_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n or_o under_o his_o hand-writing_n may_v be_v sufficient_a for_o such_o a_o purpose_n but_o now_o for_o image_n which_o be_v most_o palpable_o void_a of_o all_o understanding_n and_o utter_o unable_a to_o improve_v the_o honour_n that_o be_v do_v unto_o they_o unto_o the_o lord_n final_a advantage_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o thing_n most_o incredible_a unto_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o contrary_a to_o all_o the_o rule_n of_o reason_n that_o any_o honour_n shall_v be_v do_v unto_o they_o and_o therefore_o unless_o we_o have_v most_o peremptory_a charge_n from_o god_n so_o to_o do_v and_o that_o far_o more_o abundant_o than_o ever_o we_o have_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o man_n it_o must_v not_o be_v do_v but_o so_o far_o be_v the_o scripture_n from_o such_o super-abundance_n of_o charge_n for_o the_o honour_n of_o image_n as_o that_o whereas_o it_o everywhere_o and_o most_o express_o in_o the_o commandment_n teach_v the_o honour_n of_o man_n as_o parent_n master_n king_n etc._n etc._n it_o scarce_o once_o afford_v any_o shadow_n of_o appointment_n for_o the_o honour_n of_o image_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v secure_o conclude_v that_o the_o lord_n do_v never_o appoint_v any_o jote_n or_o scrat_fw-mi of_o scruple_n of_o honour_n to_o be_v do_v unto_o they_o and_o so_o our_o demonstration_n against_o the_o do_n of_o civil_a honour_n unto_o image_n be_v abundant_a and_o complete_a the_o force_n whereof_o by_o the_o string_n of_o art_n may_v thus_o be_v contrive_v that_o kind_n of_o honour_n which_o the_o owner_n of_o all_o honour_n do_v never_o appoint_v we_o to_o give_v unto_o image_n must_v not_o be_v give_v unto_o image_n but_o the_o civil_a honour_n be_v such_o a_o kind_n of_o honour_n as_o the_o owner_n of_o all_o honour_n do_v never_o appoint_v we_o to_o give_v unto_o image_n therefore_o the_o civil_a honour_n must_v not_o be_v give_v unto_o image_n but_o because_o every_o capacity_n be_v not_o apt_a to_o be_v fasten_v upon_o by_o demonstration_n nor_o ready_a enough_o to_o gather_v negative_n from_o the_o the_o want_n of_o affirmative_n though_o in_o all_o kind_n of_o grant_n and_o conveyance_n betwixt_o man_n and_o man_n the_o want_n of_o a_o affirmative_a be_v negative_a sufficient_a it_o have_v therefore_o seem_v good_a unto_o the_o indulgence_n of_o god_n to_o declare_v his_o mind_n in_o this_o point_n to_o be_v express_o negative_a and_o that_o not_o only_o in_o general_n when_o he_o forbid_v the_o worship_v of_o any_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v not_o command_v 3_o and_o elsewhere_o he_o say_v 42.8_o my_o glory_n will_v i_o not_o give_v to_o another_o neither_o my_o praise_n to_o grave_a image_n but_o also_o most_o especial_o and_o with_o his_o own_o mouth_n from_o heaven_n when_o he_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o bow_v down_o to_o they_o nor_o worship_v they_o there_o be_v no_o kind_n of_o honour_n whether_o actual_a or_o intentional_a real_a or_o personal_a corporal_a or_o spiritual_a natural_a or_o moral_a domestic_a or_o civil_a divine_a or_o humane_a but_o may_v easy_o be_v
