the_o fancy_n of_o the_o party_n adore_v apprehend_v be_v indce_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n therefore_o idolatry_n be_v when_o the_o worship_n due_a to_o god_n only_o be_v bestow_v upon_o the_o

of_o justification_n which_o article_n he_o see_v so_o obscure_v in_o popery_n that_o true_a consolation_n be_v utter_o exclude_v therefore_o he_o do_v with_o all_o diligence_n inquire_v into_o the_o

of_o saint_n if_o the_o saint_n depart_v do_v not_o pray_v for_o we_o and_o we_o call_v upon_o they_o for_o assistance_n but_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n understand_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n
