land_n and_o may_v it_o be_v the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n to_o continue_v this_o glory_n among_o we_o till_o jesus_n christ_n come_v in_o glory_n with_o all_o his_o saint_n but_o brethren_n do_v not_o this_o glory_n of_o god_n seem_v to_o remove_v do_v it_o not_o seem_v to_o fleet_v a_o little_a o_o shall_v god_n withdraw_v his_o word_n from_o we_o and_o the_o profession_n of_o it_o shall_v god_n remove_v the_o candlestick_n out_o of_o his_o place_n shall_v god_n withdraw_v this_o gracious_a presence_n of_o he_o in_o all_o his_o ordinance_n then_o i_o tell_v you_o mother_n what_o you_o shall_v name_v your_o child_n that_o be_v bear_v next_o ichabod_n where_o be_v glory_n when_o god_n be_v go_v from_o you_o i_o read_v of_o some_o foolish_a nation_n that_o be_v wont_a to_o fetter_v and_o chain_v their_o god_n that_o they_o may_v not_o depart_v from_o they_o sure_o our_o god_n can_v be_v chain_v nor_o fetter_v but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o way_n to_o hold_v he_o still_o when_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v depart_v i_o get_v hold_v on_o he_o say_v the_o church_n and_o will_v not_o let_v he_o go_v cant._n 3._o 4._o i_o will_v not_o let_v thou_o go_v till_o thou_o bless_v i_o say_v

constrain_v he_o to_o stay_v with_o they_o we_o may_v constrain_v our_o god_n there_o be_v a_o holy_a violence_n we_o may_v offer_v to_o our_o god_n by_o repentant_a tear_n and_o importunate_a prayer_n by_o which_o we_o may_v stay_v our_o god_n with_o we_o still_o and_o this_o be_v as_o tertullian_n call_v it_o a_o holy_a violence_n please_a and_o acceptable_a to_o god_n but_o i_o stand_v no_o more_o upon_o the_o word_n now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o thing_n they_o change_v their_o glory_n that_o be_v their_o god_n how_o may_v a_o people_n change_v their_o god_n they_o may_v change_v their_o god_n two_o way_n first_o when_o they_o forsake_v he_o and_o set_v up_o and_o worship_v some_o other_o god_n in_o his_o stead_n as_o the_o people_n forsake_v the_o lord_n and_o serve_v baal_n and_o ashtaroth_n judge_n 2._o 13._o this_o be_v the_o gross_a kind_n of_o idolatry_n this_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o first_o commandment_n or_o second_o a_o people_n may_v change_v their_o god_n when_o they_o change_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n into_o a_o lie_n when_o they_o represent_v and_o worship_n god_n in_o a_o image_n when_o they_o represent_v god_n in_o a_o corporeal_a a_o visible_a a_o finite_a a_o circumscribe_v majesty_n this_o be_v to_o change_v a_o god_n this_o be_v against_o the_o second_o commandment_n and_o you_o must_v know_v that_o thus_o the_o people_n change_v their_o god_n here_o at_o this_o time_n for_o we_o do_v not_o think_v that_o they_o make_v this_o calf_n to_o be_v their_o god_n their_o sin_n be_v bad_a enough_o let_v not_o we_o make_v it_o worse_o than_o it_o be_v they_o have_v cast_v off_o now_o all_o religion_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n let_v not_o we_o think_v they_o have_v cast_v off_o sense_n and_o reason_n with_o it_o can_v we_o imagine_v that_o this_o people_n be_v such_o calf_n as_o to_o think_v that_o the_o calf_n that_o they_o themselves_o have_v make_v yesterday_o be_v the_o very_a god_n that_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o egyt_n three_o month_n before_o the_o calf_n be_v make_v never_o imagine_v that_o they_o take_v not_o this_o calf_n to_o be_v their_o god_n what_o then_o they_o take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o figurative_a sign_n of_o their_o god_n i_o know_v they_o call_v it_o their_o god_n these_o be_v the_o god_n that_o bring_v thou_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n or_o as_o it_o be_v in_o nehemiah_n chap._n 9_o verse_n 18._o this_o be_v thy_o god_n o_o israel_n that_o bring_v thou_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n but_o as_o this_o image_n be_v call_v a_o calf_n in_o my_o text_n they_o make_v a_o calf_n in_o horeb_n though_o it_o be_v no_o calf_n but_o the_o image_n of_o a_o calf_n so_o they_o call_v it_o their_o god_n but_o they_o do_v not_o think_v it_o to_o be_v their_o god_n they_o take_v it_o as_o a_o image_n of_o their_o god_n as_o a_o figurative_a sign_n of_o their_o god_n therefore_o aaron_n proclaim_v to_o morrow_n be_v a_o holy_a day_n to_o jehovah_n not_o to_o the_o calf_n but_o to_o jehovah_n who_o they_o worship_v in_o the_o calf_n i_o pray_v mark_v this_o rule_n that_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n be_v turn_v to_o a_o lie_n and_o god_n be_v change_v to_o the_o image_n that_o be_v worship_v though_o god_n himself_o and_o none_o but_o he_o be_v worship_v in_o that_o image_n i_o say_v god_n be_v change_v into_o that_o image_n that_o be_v worship_v for_o he_o though_o the_o true_a god_n and_o none_o but_o he_o be_v worship_v in_o that_o image_n here_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o the_o rule_n of_o divine_a worship_n be_v not_o the_o will_n of_o the_o worshipper_n but_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o be_v worship_v now_o it_o be_v never_o god_n will_v to_o be_v worship_v in_o a_o image_n take_v a_o similitude_n suppose_v a_o subject_n a_o vassal_n shall_v devise_v a_o honour_n of_o his_o own_o brain_n to_o his_o sovereign_n to_o his_o king_n and_o he_o shall_v set_v up_o a_o toad_n and_o he_o will_v have_v it_o in_o a_o glass_n and_o come_v every_o morning_n and_o bow_v to_o that_o toad_n and_o be_v ask_v why_o he_o do_v so_o he_o shall_v say_v o_o i_o do_v it_o not_o to_o the_o toad_n but_o to_o the_o honour_n of_o my_o sovereign_n and_o prince_n do_v you_o think_v this_o prince_n will_v like_v well_o to_o be_v resemble_v by_o a_o toad_n i_o tell_v you_o brethren_z there_o be_v a_o thousand_o time_n a_o great_a disproportion_n between_o almighty_a god_n and_o a_o image_n set_v up_o for_o he_o than_o there_o be_v between_o a_o prince_n and_o a_o toad_n not_o to_o speak_v of_o that_o infinite_a inequality_n and_o distance_n that_o be_v between_o god_n and_o a_o mortal_a man_n there_o be_v a_o great_a distance_n even_o between_o a_o toad_n and_o a_o idol_n a_o great_a difference_n for_o the_o toad_n be_v the_o workmanship_n of_o god_n a_o idol_n as_o be_v a_o idol_n it_o be_v the_o workmanship_n of_o man_n a_o toad_n it_o be_v a_o live_a creature_n it_o have_v sense_n and_o motion_n the_o image_n be_v a_o senseless_a block_n it_o have_v neither_o life_n nor_o motion_n therefore_o hear_v how_o it_o please_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n to_o call_v consecrate_v image_n he_o call_v they_o sometime_o lie_v sometime_o vanity_n sometime_o nay_o oft_o abomination_n sometime_o dung-hill-god_n sometime_o devil_n you_o worship_v devil_n what_o devil_n idol_n the_o work_n of_o their_o own_o hand_n revel_v 9_o 20._o i_o pray_v hear_v how_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n show_v his_o detestation_n of_o all_o image_n in_o his_o service_n harken_v how_o he_o thunder_v in_o the_o second_o commandment_n thou_o shall_v not_o make_v to_o thyself_o any_o grave_a image_n thou_o shall_v not_o bow_v down_o and_o worship_v it_o harken_v what_o the_o prophet_n esay_n say_v confound_v be_v all_o they_o that_o worship_v image_n harken_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n babe_n take_v heed_n of_o idol_n 1_o john_n c._n ult_n v._o ult_n i_o pray_v look_v over_o the_o bible_n and_o see_v if_o ever_o you_o find_v any_o of_o god_n child_n except_o at_o such_o time_n as_o they_o have_v corrupt_v their_o way_n worship_v of_o image_n enough_o out_o of_o scripture_n against_o image_n now_o because_o we_o be_v in_o this_o controversy_n to_o deal_v with_o such_o man_n who_o the_o authority_n of_o scripture_n do_v not_o satisfy_v such_o unreasonable_a man_n as_o be_v not_o content_a with_o the_o authority_n of_o scripture_n and_o because_o they_o say_v this_o stand_v upon_o tradition_n the_o worship_v of_o image_n in_o the_o church_n i_o pray_v give_v i_o leave_v a_o little_a beside_o my_o custom_n to_o show_v you_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o father_n the_o determination_n of_o counsel_n and_o the_o long_a tradition_n of_o the_o church_n against_o image_n of_o every_o one_o a_o word_n and_o some_o few_o of_o many_o there_o be_v no_o point_n that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v so_o copious_a in_o as_o in_o this_o first_o for_o
