be_v do_v to_o god_n only_o on_o the_o account_n of_o his_o incommunicable_a perfection_n and_o therefore_o the_o reason_n of_o divine_a worship_n can_v reach_v to_o any_o creature_n p._n not_o without_o god_n will_v and_o pleasure_n but_o may_v not_o god_n advance_v a_o mere_a creature_n to_o that_o dignity_n as_o to_o require_v divine_a worship_n to_o be_v give_v to_o he_o by_o his_o fellow-creature_n pr._n wherein_o lie_v the_o nature_n of_o that_o which_o you_o call_v proper_a divine_a worship_n p._n in_o a_o due_a esteem_n of_o god_n in_o our_o mind_n as_o the_o first_o cause_n and_o last_o end_n of_o his_o creature_n and_o such_o act_n as_o be_v agreeable_a thereto_o pr._n then_o proper_a divine_a worship_n do_v suppose_v a_o esteem_n of_o god_n as_o infinite_o above_o his_o creature_n and_o how_o then_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o we_o to_o give_v the_o same_o worship_n to_o god_n and_o to_o a_o creature_n for_o if_o the_o distance_n be_v infinite_a between_o god_n and_o his_o creature_n and_o we_o must_v judge_n of_o thing_n as_o they_o be_v than_o we_o must_v in_o our_o mind_n suppose_v a_o creature_n to_o be_v infinite_o distant_a srom_n god_n and_o if_o we_o do_v so_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o give_v the_o same_o divine_a worship_n in_o this_o sense_n to_o god_n and_o to_o any_o creature_n p._n and_o what_o now_o will_v you_o infer_v from_o hence_o pr._n do_v not_o you_o see_v already_o viz._n that_o god_n can_v be_v suppose_v to_o allow_v divine_a worship_n to_o be_v give_v to_o christ_n if_o he_o be_v a_o mere_a creature_n and_o therefore_o since_o such_o divine_a worship_n be_v require_v by_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n it_o follow_v that_o those_o expression_n which_o speak_v of_o his_o be_v one_o with_o the_o father_n can_v be_v figurative_o understand_v p._n but_o where_o be_v it_o that_o such_o divine_a worship_n be_v require_v to_o be_v give_v to_o christ_n in_o scripture_n for_o according_a to_o my_o principle_n the_o church_n be_v to_o set_v the_o bound_n and_o measure_n of_o divine_a worship_n and_o to_o declare_v what_o worship_n be_v due_a to_o god_n what_o to_o christ_n what_o to_o saint_n and_o angel_n what_o to_o man_n upon_o earth_n what_o to_o image_n sacrament_n etc._n etc._n and_o if_o we_o depart_v from_o this_o rule_n i_o know_v not_o where_o we_o shall_v fix_v pr._n i_o pray_v tell_v i_o do_v the_o difference_n between_o god_n and_o his_o creature_n depend_v on_o the_o will_n of_o the_o church_n p._n no._n pr._n be_v it_o then_o in_o the_o church_n power_n to_o give_v that_o to_o a_o creature_n which_o belong_v only_o to_o god_n p._n i_o think_v not_o pr._n who_o then_o be_v to_o be_v judge_n what_o belong_v to_o god_n and_o what_o not_o god_n or_o the_o church_n p._n god_n himself_o if_o he_o please_v pr._n then_o our_o business_n be_v to_o search_v what_o his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n be_v in_o this_o matter_n by_o read_v the_o scripture_n wherein_o his_o will_n be_v contain_v and_o there_o we_o find_v it_o express_v that_o all_o man_n shall_v honour_v the_o son_n even_o as_o they_o honour_v the_o father_n john_n 5._o 23._o let_v all_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n worship_v he_o

christian_a doctrine_n to_o restore_v in_o the_o world_n a_o due_a sense_n of_o the_o infinite_a distance_n between_o god_n and_o his_o creature_n can_v any_o thing_n be_v more_o repugnant_a to_o it_o than_o in_o the_o same_o doctrine_n to_o advance_v a_o creature_n to_o a_o participation_n of_o the_o same_o divine_a honour_n with_o himself_o so_o that_o in_o plain_a truth_n the_o idolatry_n of_o the_o world_n lie_v only_o in_o a_o bad_a choice_n of_o the_o creature_n they_o be_v to_o worship_n and_o not_o in_o give_v proper_a divine_a worship_n to_o a_o creature_n for_o that_o christianity_n itself_o not_o only_o allow_v but_o require_v on_o supposition_n that_o christ_n be_v god_n mere_o by_o office_n and_o be_v original_o a_o creature_n as_o we_o be_v but_o i_o pray_v observe_v the_o force_n of_o the_o apostle_n argument_n speak_v of_o the_o gentile_a idolatry_n he_o say_v it_o lay_v in_o this_o that_o they_o do_v service_n unto_o they_o which_o by_o nature_n be_v no_o god_n gal._n 4._o 8._o p._n you_o know_v i_o must_v now_o personate_v the_o anti-trinitarian_a and_o he_o answer_v that_o by_o nature_n no_o more_o be_v imply_v than_o true_o and_o real_o i._n e._n god_n do_v not_o advance_v those_o creature_n among_o the_o gentile_n to_o that_o worship_n and_o honour_n which_o he_o have_v do_v christ._n pr._n then_o you_o make_v it_o lawful_a by_o the_o gospel_n to_o believe_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o mere_a creature_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o give_v he_o divine_a worship_n which_o suppose_v he_o not_o to_o be_v a_o creature_n and_o so_o you_o must_v believe_v he_o to_o be_v a_o creature_n and_o not_o to_o be_v a_o creature_n at_o the_o same_o time_n p._n how_o do_v you_o make_v that_o appear_v pr._n from_o your_o own_o word_n for_o you_o say_v proper_a divine_a worship_n lie_v in_o a_o due_a esteem_n of_o god_n in_o our_o mind_n as_o the_o first_o cause_n and_o last_o end_n and_o in_o action_n agreeable_a thereto_o then_o to_o give_v divine_a worship_n to_o god_n we_o must_v believe_v he_o to_o be_v above_o all_o creature_n as_o to_o his_o nature_n and_o be_v and_o theresore_n to_o give_v christ_n divine_a worship_n must_v imply_v our_o believe_v he_o not_o to_o be_v a_o creature_n and_o to_o be_v a_o creature_n at_o the_o same_o time_n p._n but_o the_o meaning_n of_o divine_a worship_n here_o must_v not_o then_o relate_v to_o act_n of_o the_o mind_n but_o to_o outward_a act_n of_o adoration_n in_o the_o church_n pr._n be_v the_o gentile_n guilty_a of_o idolatry_n in_o that_o respect_n or_o not_o p._n yes_o but_o not_o those_o who_o god_n require_v to_o worship_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n pr._n then_o the_o sin_n of_o gentile-idolatry_n lie_v only_o in_o give_v divine_a worship_n to_o a_o creature_n without_o god_n command_n which_o lessen_v it_o to_o that_o degree_n as_o to_o make_v will-worship_n and_o idolatry_n the_o same_o and_o to_o blame_v the_o apostle_n for_o make_v such_o a_o dreadful_a sin_n of_o it_o and_o dissuade_v christian_n so_o much_o from_o return_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o 21._o for_o they_o have_v the_o privilege_n of_o give_v divine_a worship_n to_o a_o creature_n by_o god_n command_n which_o other_o be_v damn_v for_o do_v without_o a_o command_n which_o make_v the_o christian_a religion_n not_o to_o appear_v so_o reasonable_a as_o the_o anti-trinitarians_a contend_v it_o be_v but_o here_o be_v four_o foul_a mistake_n in_o point_n of_o reason_n which_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o 1._o in_o make_v the_o sin_n of_o idolatry_n so_o arbitrary_a a_o thing_n which_o depend_v not_o on_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o object_n which_o be_v worship_v but_o on_o the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o god._n 2._o in_o make_v the_o gentile_n guilty_a of_o a_o great_a sin_n mere_o in_o want_v a_o divine_a command_n which_o be_v out_o of_o their_o power_n 3._o in_o make_v the_o christian_a religion_n to_o set_v up_o the_o worship_n of_o a_o creature_n when_o its_o design_n be_v to_o root_v out_o idolatry_n 4._o in_o make_v a_o fictitious_a god_n or_o a_o creature_n to_o be_v advance_v to_o the_o throne_n of_o god._n which_o i_o think_v be_v far_o more_o contradictious_a to_o reason_n than_o a_o trinity_n of_o person_n in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n for_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o absurd_a than_o to_o make_v that_o to_o be_v god_n which_o want_v all_o the_o essential_a attribute_n and_o perfection_n of_o god_n as_o every_o creature_n must_v do_v such_o as_o self-existence_n eternity_n independency_n immensity_n omnipotency_n etc._n etc._n what_o a_o contradiction_n be_v it_o to_o suppose_v a_o weak_a impotent_a depend_v confine_v create_v god_n and_o such_o every_o creature_n must_v be_v in_o its_o nature_n or_o else_o it_o be_v no_o creature_n i_o do_v not_o at_o all_o wonder_n to_o find_v the_o socinian_o after_o this_o to_o lessen_v the_o natural_a knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o his_o infinite_a perfection_n both_o as_o to_o power_n and_o knowledge_n for_o it_o be_v their_o concernment_n to_o bring_v the_o notion_n of_o god_n as_o low_a as_o possible_a that_o a_o creature_n may_v be_v in_o the_o near_a capacity_n of_o
