consider_v the_o expression_n according_a to_o a_o mere_a literal_a acceptation_n that_o be_v ever_o more_o look_v upon_o as_o most_o base_a and_o scandalous_a which_o man_n be_v loath_a or_o ashamed_a to_o own_o or_o acknowledge_v certain_a it_o be_v that_o a_o disow_a or_o dissertion_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o religion_n in_o whatever_o way_n or_o kind_n we_o do_v it_o be_v a_o open_a declaration_n to_o the_o world_n of_o our_o great_a dislike_n thereof_o a_o plain_a repentance_n of_o what_o we_o have_v profess_v and_o as_o it_o be_v advice_n or_o precaution_n to_o other_o against_o all_o future_a concern_v or_o regard_n for_o god_n and_o religion_n the_o action_n of_o such_o a_o man_n do_v seem_v to_o speak_v the_o sense_n of_o his_o mind_n after_o this_o or_o the_o like_a manner_n all_o the_o whole_a business_n of_o religion_n be_v mere_a noise_n cheat_n or_o imposture_n and_o whatever_o man_n talk_v or_o say_v about_o it_o be_v all_o vain_a and_o insignificant_a why_o shall_v we_o wait_v on_o the_o lord_n any_o long_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o serve_v god_n and_o what_o profit_n be_v it_o that_o we_o have_v keep_v his_o ordinance_n therefore_o they_o say_v unto_o god_n depart_v from_o we_o for_o we_o desire_v not_o the_o knowledge_n of_o thy_o way_n what_o be_v the_o almighty_a that_o we_o shall_v serve_v he_o and_o what_o profit_n shall_v we_o have_v if_o we_o pray_v unto_o he_o in_o short_a that_o religion_n be_v not_o worth_a the_o own_v which_o a_o man_n can_v suffer_v bleed_v and_o dye_v for_o 2._o and_o this_o bring_v we_o to_o a_o second_o aggravation_n thereof_o that_o it_o be_v the_o high_a indignity_n or_o dishonour_n to_o god_n such_o be_v imply_v in_o the_o very_a expression_n for_o it_o whosoever_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a of_o i_o and_o of_o my_o word_n so_o that_o to_o be_v thus_o guilty_a be_v to_o assront_n god_n and_o be_v a_o perfect_a and_o open_a defiance_n to_o heaven_n itself_o for_o it_o be_v the_o peculiar_a and_o immediate_a cause_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o religion_n for_o who_o sake_n and_o on_o who_o account_n this_o be_v institute_v and_o enjoin_v we_o so_o that_o thus_o base_o to_o desert_n or_o any_o wise_a to_o forsake_v or_o deny_v he_o be_v not_o only_o a_o withdraw_a our_o fealty_n and_o allegiance_n from_o he_o but_o the_o set_n up_o a_o profess_a hostility_n and_o rebellion_n against_o he_o and_o a_o downright_a declaration_n that_o we_o will_v not_o have_v he_o to_o reign_v over_o we_o in_o a_o word_n this_o be_v the_o great_a obstinacy_n the_o most_o dare_a provocation_n the_o high_a treachery_n that_o a_o mortal_a creature_n can_v be_v guilty_a of_o against_o the_o most_o gracious_a and_o almighty_a be_v of_o god_n and_o carry_v every_o thing_n in_o it_o that_o may_v render_v it_o exceed_v sinful_a 3._o another_o great_a aggravation_n hereof_o be_v that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o sentiment_n of_o our_o
