every_o year_n to_o go_v up_o and_o worship_n at_o jerusalem_n and_o our_o saviour_n himself_o while_o he_o be_v yet_o but_o a_o child_n do_v do_v so_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o express_a

his_o own_o design_n deal_v with_o many_o of_o we_o though_o the_o place_n where_o we_o be_v more_o public_o and_o solemn_o to_o worship_n god_n be_v at_o no_o great_a distance_n from_o we_o not_o

he_o take_v the_o same_o course_n which_o jeroboam_n do_v he_o set_v up_o his_o calf_n in_o dan_n and_o bethel_n a_o anabaptist_n prate_v in_o this_o conventicle_n and_o a_o quaker_n in_o that_o only_o here_o be_v the_o difference_n whereas_o jeroboam_n calf_n be_v make_v of_o gold_n these_o of_o we_o be_v make_v of_o a_o far_o more_o ignoble_a metal_n man_n so_o dull_a heavy_a and_o ignorant_a but_o withal_o so_o presume_v bold_a and_o confident_a as_o if_o their_o skull_n be_v make_v of_o lead_n and_o their_o brow_n of_o brass_n but_o be_v all_o our_o calf_n like_o he_o golden_a

be_v in_o the_o temple_n be_v a_o thing_n more_o inexcusable_a in_o we_o then_o in_o the_o jew_n because_o we_o have_v not_o so_o fair_a a_o pretence_n for_o it_o as_o they._n for_o we_o can_v well_o pretend_v what_o jeroboam_n do_v it_o be_v too_o much_o for_o you_o to_o go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n the_o way_n be_v too_o long_o and_o the_o charge_n too_o great_a their_o temple_n stand_v at_o a_o

then_o indeed_o we_o be_v yet_o to_o encourage_v our_o come_n to_o it_o for_o the_o more_o solemn_a service_n of_o our_o god_n we_o have_v a_o fair_a example_n in_o the_o text_n where_o we_o find_v some_o person_n of_o considerable_a quality_n man_n of_o great_a part_n and_o learning_n wise_a man_n who_o do_v not_o stick_v to_o come_v a_o very_a great_a number_n of_o miles_n purposely_o to_o
