and_o adoration_n offer_v to_o god_n through_o it_o in_o which_o case_n though_o perhaps_o the_o herd_n do_v former_o worship_v the_o image_n yet_o their_o philosopher_n declare_v they_o mean_v

wit_n may_v conceive_v of_o these_o image_n yet_o the_o vulgar_a offer_n up_o their_o adoration_n direct_o to_o they_o and_o conceive_v god_n to_o be_v like_a unto_o they_o this_o worship_n be_v
