as_o it_o be_v unite_v to_o and_o assume_v into_o conjunction_n with_o he_o so_o neither_o ought_v we_o to_o worship_v our_o shechinah_n viz._n the_o humanity_n of_o our_o saviour_n separately_z from_o his_o divinity_n but_o in_o union_n and_o conjunction_n with_o it_o and_o in_o short_a as_o it_o be_v utter_o unlawful_a for_o the_o jew_n to_o worship_n god_n in_o any_o other_o shechinah_n or_o sensible_a appearance_n either_o unshape_a or_o shape_v than_o in_o that_o glorious_a one_o which_o he_o himself_o vouchsafe_v to_o they_o that_o be_v sufficient_a to_o affect_v their_o sense_n and_o thereby_o to_o raise_v up_o their_o mind_n and_o affection_n to_o he_o so_o be_v it_o utter_o unlawful_a for_o we_o christian_n to_o worship_n god_n in_o any_o other_o shechinah_n image_n

and_o devotion_n to_o he_o for_o though_o we_o can_v behold_v his_o glorify_a humanity_n with_o our_o bodily_a eye_n now_o he_o be_v remove_v into_o heaven_n yet_o so_o neither_o do_v the_o jew_n

yet_o as_o they_o be_v assure_v it_o be_v there_o can_v easy_o view_v it_o in_o their_o imagination_n and_o thereby_o assist_v their_o devotion_n so_o we_o be_v assure_v from_o scripture_n that_o

iii_o god_n have_v choose_v to_o govern_v we_o by_o his_o own_o eternal_a son_n in_o our_o nature_n that_o he_o may_v thereby_o the_o more_o powerful_o encourage_v we_o to_o obedience_n for_o now_o

as_o it_o be_v the_o common_a cause_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o be_v so_o distant_a in_o nature_n from_o we_o it_o will_v have_v be_v hard_o for_o we_o to_o imagine_v how_o he_o can_v be_v touch_v
