guilty_a of_o idolatry_n it_o be_v the_o most_o clear_a and_o most_o unquestionable_a truth_n that_o the_o most_o excellent_a creature_n be_v not_o god_n 2._o whatever_o do_v import_n and_o signify_v

and_o by_o so_o ding_o we_o must_v be_v guilty_a of_o what_o the_o romanist_n confess_v to_o by_o pay_v honour_n to_o a_o creature_n but_o we_o can_v pay_v no_o great_a honour_n to_o the_o most_o
