have_v bring_v man_n unto_o the_o 5._o argument_n answer_v the_o next_o allegation_n be_v this_o that_o admit_v sometime_o some_o of_o our_o people_n do_v let_v fall_v some_o glance_n of_o honour_n unto_o a_o image_n yet_o if_o it_o be_v but_o a_o civil_a kind_n of_o honour_n and_o not_o the_o divine_a dulia_fw-la and_o not_o latria_fw-la no_o just_a exception_n can_v be_v take_v thereat_o against_o which_o position_n we_o thus_o demonstrate_v that_o which_o be_v proper_o due_a to_o the_o creator_n may_v not_o be_v give_v to_o any_o kind_n of_o creature_n much_o less_o unto_o the_o image_n of_o any_o creature_n but_o only_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o creators_n express_a appointment_n but_o all_o kind_n of_o honour_n glory_n and_o praise_n of_o what_o degree_n or_o kind_n soever_o be_v due_a only_a to_o the_o creator_n therefore_o no_o kind_n of_o honour_n glory_n or_o praise_n of_o what_o degree_n or_o kind_n soever_o may_v be_v give_v unto_o any_o kind_n of_o creature_n much_o less_o unto_o the_o image_n of_o any_o kind_n of_o creature_n but_o only_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o creators_n express_a appointment_n but_o never_o do_v the_o creator_n appoint_v any_o jote_n or_o scrat_v or_o scruple_n of_o honour_n to_o be_v do_v unto_o image_n therefore_o must_v not_o any_o the_o least_o jote_n or_o scrat_v or_o scruple_n of_o honour_n be_v do_v unto_o

they_o touch_v the_o first_o ground_n of_o this_o our_o demonstration_n namely_o that_o the_o lord_n proper_a due_n must_v not_o be_v dispose_v of_o but_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o own_o express_a appointment_n it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o the_o law_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n do_v acknowledge_v no_o man_n upon_o earth_n esteem_v himself_o a_o owner_n of_o that_o which_o any_o beside_o himself_o have_v power_n to_o dispose_v of_o and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o make_v any_o more_o word_n towards_o the_o establish_n of_o this_o ground_n which_o the_o freehold_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v ground_v upon_o likewise_o also_o our_o second_o ground_n namely_o that_o all_o honour_n glory_n and_o praise_n be_v due_a only_a unto_o the_o lord_n be_v as_o clear_v a_o principal_a and_o need_v no_o more_o word_n to_o establish_v it_o the_o scripture_n every_o where_o ring_v it_o in_o our_o ear_n that_o unto_o he_o all_o honour_n glory_n and_o praise_n be_v only_o due_a and_o the_o condition_n of_o his_o honour_n of_o necessity_n enforce_v as_o much_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n can_v be_v infinite_a as_o of_o necessity_n it_o must_v be_v if_o any_o jote_n or_o scrat_fw-mi or_o scruple_n of_o any_o kind_n of_o honour_n can_v be_v find_v not_o to_o belong_v unto_o he_o notwithstanding_o because_o we_o find_v in_o the_o scripture_n how_o the_o lord_n appoint_v we_o to_o give_v honour_n unto_o man_n as_o namely_o unto_o parent_n master_n king_n governor_n etc._n etc._n whereby_o it_o may_v be_v imagine_v that_o perhaps_o the_o lord_n have_v dispossess_v himself_o of_o some_o kind_n and_o portion_n of_o honour_n as_o also_o for_o that_o it_o may_v be_v think_v that_o some_o kind_n of_o honour_n be_v too_o little_a or_o common_a or_o base_a to_o be_v present_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o therefore_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v at_o liberty_n to_o dispose_v of_o those_o kind_n of_o honour_n as_o themselves_o think_v good_a and_o so_o final_o to_o their_o image_n as_o they_o list_v we_o therefore_o purpose_v to_o stay_v a_o little_a long_o upon_o this_o point_n namely_o until_o we_o have_v declare_v that_o neither_o god_n appoint_v we_o to_o give_v any_o kind_n of_o honour_n unto_o man_n be_v of_o force_n to_o dispossess_v himself_o thereof_o nor_o again_o that_o the_o littleness_n or_o smallnesse_n or_o commonness_n of_o any_o kind_n of_o honour_n may_v be_v of_o force_n to_o exempt_v the_o same_o from_o belong_v unto_o the_o lord_n touch_v then_o the_o first_o of_o these_o namely_o that_o the_o lord_n appoint_v we_o to_o do_v any_o kind_n of_o honour_n unto_o man_n be_v not_o of_o force_n to_o dispossess_v himself_o thereof_o we_o prove_v because_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o gift_n which_o he_o daily_o give_v unto_o man_n as_o wisdom_n riches_n power_n authority_n etc._n etc._n do_v not_o thereupon_o cease_v to_o belong_v unto_o the_o lord_n but_o do_v still_o remain_v in_o his_o dominion_n and_o property_n nevertheless_o even_o as_o the_o seed_n which_o the_o husbandman_n sprinkle_v in_o his_o field_n do_v nevertheless_o belong_v unto_o the_o husbandman_n for_o as_o those_o gift_n of_o wisdom_n strength_n riches_n etc._n etc._n so_o also_o the_o gift_n and_o portion_n of_o honour_n which_o god_n bestow_v upon_o man_n both_o may_v be_v and_o also_o must_v be_v improve_v unto_o the_o lord_n final_a honour_n and_o advantage_n that_o be_v no_o doubt_n the_o reason_n why_o our_o saviour_n appoint_v we_o to_o give_v unto_o cesar_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v caesar_n because_o unless_o our_o caesar_n and_o governor_n be_v stock_v and_o furnish_v with_o such_o portion_n of_o honour_n authority_n etc._n etc._n they_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v up_o whole_a kingdom_n city_n town_n and_o family_n unto_o the_o lord_n final_a honour_n as_o their_o office_n be_v to_o do_v second_o if_o it_o have_v be_v the_o intent_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o part_v final_o with_o those_o kind_n of_o honour_n which_o he_o appoint_v we_o to_o give_v unto_o man_n it_o have_v be_v necessary_a that_o those_o kind_n of_o honour_n shall_v have_v be_v specify_v and_o lay_v out_o and_o sever_v from_o those_o kind_n which_o be_v to_o be_v reserve_v only_o unto_o the_o lord_n for_o else_o the_o son_n of_o man_n may_v hap_v in_o their_o mutual_a honour_v one_o of_o another_o to_o go_v beyond_o their_o bound_n and_o make_v bold_a with_o the_o lord_n peculiar_a honour_n but_o as_o we_o nowhere_o find_v any_o such_o specification_n or_o partition_n so_o also_o we_o may_v everywhere_o find_v how_o those_o kind_n of_o honour_n which_o be_v most_o likely_a to_o be_v proper_a unto_o god_n as_o might_n majesty_n and_o dominion_n fear_n and_o tremble_a singleness_n of_o heart_n etc._n etc._n be_v notwithstanding_o allow_v to_o be_v give_v unto_o man_n as_o on_o the_o other_o side_n those_o kind_n of_o honour_n which_o may_v be_v think_v of_o a_o more_o common_a and_o inferior_a nature_n as_o obedience_n love_n subjection_n thankfulness_n etc._n etc._n be_v notwithstanding_o usual_o call_v for_o to_o be_v perform_v unto_o god_n three_o if_o those_o kind_n of_o honour_n which_o god_n allow_v we_o to_o perform_v unto_o man_n shall_v thereupon_o cease_v to_o belong_v unto_o the_o lord_n by_o that_o mean_v neither_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o eye_n the_o tongue_n the_o knee_n yea_o nor_o of_o the_o heart_n nor_o of_o the_o singleness_n of_o the_o heart_n shall_v belong_v unto_o the_o lord_n because_o with_o all_o these_o we_o honour_v man_n we_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o
