less_o error_n with_o the_o ignorant_a indian_n to_o worship_v the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n for_o they_o be_v heavenly_a creature_n a_o small_a fault_n in_o the_o egyptian_n to_o adore_v a_o onion_n for_o that_o be_v their_o chief_a sustenance_n in_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n for_o he_o be_v a_o king_n nay_o a_o god_n on_o earth_n for_o so_o god_n style_v prince_n than_o to_o prostrate_v and_o cast_v down_o one_o self_n to_o a_o image_n far_o be_v it_o therefore_o to_o commit_v such_o sacrilege_n to_o her_o sanctity_n or_o that_o our_o imagination_n shall_v rob_v she_o of_o so_o much_o

a_o stock_n or_o it_o may_v be_v indeed_o she_o may_v do_v it_o some_o outward_a reverence_n as_o one_o may_v do_v to_o a_o picture_n in_o the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o friend_n or_o in_o the_o

of_o the_o devil_n temptation_n but_o he_o that_o do_v build_v upon_o the_o cornerstone_n and_o rock_n christ_n jesus_n his_o foundation_n be_v fast_o and_o firm_a his_o building_n be_v perpetual_a and_o everlasting_a she_o without_o doubt_n will_v consider_v that_o the_o best_a of_o our_o deed_n be_v sin_n and_o the_o best_a of_o our_o desert_n damnation_n that_o all_o our_o work_n be_v but_o as_o a_o menstruous_a cloth_n stain_v with_o impurity_n that_o when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o we_o can_v we_o be_v but_o unprofitable_a servant_n and_o that_o although_o good_a work_n justify_v the_o

faith_n without_o work_n be_v like_o the_o barren_a fig_n tree_n or_o like_o the_o womb_n ojh_o sarah_n and_o elizabeth_n fruitless_a so_o work_v without_o faith_n be_v of_o no_o consequence_n moreover_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v believe_v but_o that_o she_o will_v be_v bring_v to_o believe_v that_o prayer_n to_o saint_n can_v aught_o avail_v she_o that_o when_o she_o pray_v unto_o they_o they_o have_v no_o ear_n to_o hear_v she_o or_o if_o they_o have_v ear_n to_o hear_v she_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v they_o want_v heart_n to_o pity_v she_o or_o if_o they_o have_v heart_n to_o pity_v she_o yet_o they_o want_v hand_n to_o help_v she_o she_o will_v easy_o therefore_o understand_v that_o her_o prayer_n ought_v to_o be_v direct_v to_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n the_o
