yet_o so_o it_o must_v be_v why_o because_o all_o these_o do_v not_o agree_v with_o reason_n therefore_o they_o be_v all_o condemn_v if_o reason_n then_o must_v judge_v all_o let_v we_o try_v this_o at_o the_o bar_n of_o reason_n i_o will_v only_o use_v one_o argument_n that_o christianus_n francken_fw-mi use_v against_o socinus_n be_v one_o of_o the_o same_o opinion_n with_o socinus_n as_o to_o the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o man_n only_o will_v not_o have_v religious_a worship_n give_v to_o he_o which_o socinus_n do_v several_a argument_n he_o have_v to_o which_o socinus_n give_v miserable_a answer_n and_o true_o we_o may_v sit_v still_o till_o we_o see_v how_o socinus_n and_o his_o party_n can_v clear_v themselves_o from_o be_v idolater_n which_o christianus_n francken_a francis_n david_n with_o their_o party_n who_o deny_v christ_n divinity_n also_o do_v prove_v socinus_n and_o his_o follower_n to_o be_v for_o worship_v christ_n with_o religious_a worship_n who_o they_o deny_v to_o be_v god_n and_o but_o a_o mere_a creature_n his_o argument_n be_v this_o how_o great_a be_v the_o distance_n between_o a_o creator_n and_o creature_n so_o great_a aught_o to_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o honour_n which_o be_v give_v to_o the_o creator_n and_o the_o creature_n but_o between_o the_o creator_n and_o the_o creature_n be_v the_o great_a infinite_a distance_n whether_o you_o respect_v the_o nature_n and_o essence_n or_o the_o dignity_n and_o excellency_n therefore_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o the_o creature_n but_o the_o honour_n which_o be_v chief_o due_a to_o god_n be_v religious_a adoration_n therefore_o this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v give_v to_o a_o creature_n therefore_o not_o to_o christ_n who_o you_o confess_v to_o be_v a_o pure_a creature_n this_o be_v his_o argument_n and_o now_o let_v reason_n judge_v i_o urge_v this_o argument_n of_o give_v religious_a worship_n to_o a_o creature_n against_o a_o socinian_n the_o answer_n he_o give_v i_o be_v this_o if_o it_o be_v the_o pleasure_n of_o god_n to_o have_v it_o so_o as_o it_o be_v than_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o and_o it_o be_v righteous_a and_o good_a it_o shall_v be_v so_o to_o which_o answer_n of_o his_o i_o reply_v this_o pleasure_n of_o god_n lead_v we_o to_o another_o

upon_o the_o bench_n we_o shall_v carry_v away_o all_o the_o court_n to_o another_o tribunal_n the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n and_o to_o this_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o go_v three_o this_o good_a
