because_o it_o concern_v what_o i_o have_v already_o account_v for_o that_o the_o christian_a religion_n admit_v of_o no_o external_a nor_o ceremonial_a righteousness_n the_o great_a design_n of_o

it_o exclude_v all_o external_a act_n of_o worship_n well_o rhyme_v father_n brain_n and_o stair_n since_o god_n will_v be_v worship_v as_o a_o spirit_n he_o will_v now_o confine_v his_o peculiar_a

be_v seek_v for_o in_o house_n of_o wood_n and_o stone_n this_o say_v he_o exclude_v the_o use_n of_o church_n rather_o than_o barn_n that_o be_v because_o god_n do_v not_o confine_v his_o presence_n to_o one_o place_n because_o he_o have_v no_o symbolical_a presence_n therefore_o there_o must_v be_v no_o place_n set_v apart_o from_o common_a use_n for_o religious_a worship_n thus_o god_n will_v

they_o be_v a_o symbolical_a presence_n must_v be_v the_o symbol_n of_o his_o bodily_a presence_n his_o three_o fanatical_a principle_n be_v this_o if_o god_n be_v better_o worship_v before_o a_o

of_o the_o argument_n be_v this_o if_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n must_v not_o be_v confine_v to_o any_o place_n or_o symbolical_a presence_n than_o he_o must_v not_o be_v worship_v by_o a_o image_n for_o a_o image_n be_v a_o representative_a presence_n of_o god_n or_o of_o the_o saint_n and_o man_n go_v to_o image_n as_o to_o divine_a presence_n to_o worship_n so_o that_o wherever_o the_o

that_o the_o gospel-mean_n and_o instrument_n of_o holiness_n do_v not_o escape_v much_o better_a in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n among_o other_o i_o instance_a in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o

2._o that_o they_o require_v the_o practice_n of_o no_o virtue_n to_o the_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n whereas_o they_o require_v the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n to_o prepare_v for_o the_o

we_o have_v already_o see_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o our_o jesuit_n can_v give_v as_o good_a a_o answer_n to_o this_o vindication_n as_o he_o do_v to_o the_o preservative_n and_o i_o as_o little_a
