and_o man_n be_v propound_v in_o scripture_n as_o the_o object_n of_o our_o religious_a worship_n and_o adoration_n less_o wary_a mind_n may_v be_v apt_a to_o terminate_v their_o worship_n upon_o

and_o personal_o unite_v to_o he_o but_o the_o personal_a union_n of_o the_o divine_a and_o humane_a nature_n in_o christ_n the_o mediator_n do_v neither_o destroy_v nor_o confound_v the_o propriety_n of_o either_o but_o leave_v they_o entire_a as_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o and_o adorability_n be_v no_o less_o a_o propriety_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n than_o omniscience_n omnipotence_n omnipresence_n and_o eternity_n be_v god_n therefore_o manifest_a in_o the_o flesh_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v with_o a_o religious_a worship_n but_o his_o flesh_n ought_v not_o thus_o to_o be_v
