imperfect_a and_o finite_a but_o when_o we_o appear_v before_o god_n and_o do_v reverence_n to_o he_o we_o must_v do_v it_o with_o apprehension_n of_o eminency_n and_o that_o such_o as_o be_v

and_o carry_v ourselves_o towards_o he_o as_o a_o creature_n now_o to_o give_v to_o the_o creature_n the_o prerogative_n of_o god_n and_o to_o charge_n upon_o god_n the_o defect_n of_o the_o

the_o honour_n he_o have_v allow_v the_o creature_n so_o neither_o will_v he_o have_v we_o to_o give_v the_o creature_n that_o honour_n he_o have_v reserve_v for_o himself_o but_o we_o must_v give_v

of_o the_o second_o table_n if_o god_n than_o we_o offer_v violence_n to_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o first_o to_o worship_n god_n and_o not_o man_n be_v to_o overthrow_v that_o beautiful_a and_o

you_o that_o which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o true_a and_o genuine_a sense_n of_o it_o 1._o some_o think_v that_o by_o spirit_n in_o this_o place_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n and_o by_o truth_n the_o second_o and_o that_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n be_v to_o worship_v the_o father_n in_o the_o son_n and_o the_o son_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v to_o worship_v the_o whole_a trinity_n this_o way_n go_v athanasius_n but_o as_o tolet_n the_o jesuit_n say_v true_o serapion_n it_o be_v difficult_a to_o

in_o spirit_n than_o as_o it_o be_v here_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n but_o the_o mistake_n be_v evident_a and_o therefore_o i_o need_v to_o say_v no_o more_o of_o it_o 2._o other_o think_v to_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n that_o to_o worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n be_v to_o worship_v he_o in_o truth_n and_o to_o worship_v he_o in_o truth_n be_v to_o worship_n in_o spirit_n and_o so_o they_o will_v have_v the_o one_o to_o be_v a_o exposition_n of_o the_o other_o and_o they_o say_v to_o worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n be_v not_o to_o worship_v he_o under_o a_o visible_a representation_n or_o similitude_n as_o if_o he_o be_v a_o material_a substance_n or_o body_n for_o the_o samaritan_n worship_v he_o
