translation_n which_o we_o allow_v not_o of_o but_o to_o the_o hebrew_n greek_a or_o latin_a with_o proportion_n and_o so_o when_o the_o word_n in_o those_o language_n have_v different_a signification_n we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o answer_v to_o the_o text_n as_o it_o stand_v in_o their_o new_a translation_n but_o have_v freedom_n to_o take_v the_o word_n in_o some_o other_o signification_n especial_o when_o antiquity_n have_v so_o translate_v and_o onderstood_v it_o &_o therefore_o i_o answer_v here_o that_o the_o greek_a word_n have_v different_a signification_n it_o be_v not_o the_o worship_v but_o the_o religion_n of_o angel_n which_o be_v here_o forbid_a for_o so_o the_o vulgar_a translation_n have_v it_o which_o be_v ancient_a about_o twelve_o hundred_o year_n and_o how_o can_v any_o protestant_n though_o learned_a ever_o convince_v out_o of_o scripture_n that_o the_o word_n threskeia_fw-la be_v rather_o to_o be_v translate_v worship_v than_o religion_n see_v the_o greek_a word_n signify_v both_o and_o the_o scope_n and_o context_n of_o the_o apostle_n rather_o agree_v with_o religion_n then_o worship_v nay_o how_o shall_v the_o poor_a unlearned_a reader_n be_v certain_a that_o their_o translation_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o true_a and_o only_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n in_o the_o original_n in_o that_o place_n when_o the_o original_a word_n have_v sundry_a signification_n and_o further_o how_o shall_v they_o not_o have_v cause_n to_o doubt_v of_o and_o call_v in_o question_n the_o whole_a translation_n of_o the_o bible_n see_v they_o know_v not_o when_o the_o word_n in_o the_o original_n have_v different_a signification_n or_o only_a one_o and_o so_o may_v doubt_v whether_o the_o true_a signification_n and_o that_o which_o be_v only_o mean_v there_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v put_v or_o rather_o a_o other_o which_o be_v not_o intend_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o that_o place_n especial_o in_o place_n of_o controversy_n where_o their_o translatour_n use_v to_o take_v all_o advantage_n against_o we_o as_o i_o have_v show_v and_o yet_o neither_o of_o those_o two_o inconvenience_n toutch_v roman_a catholic_n because_o their_o translation_n be_v commend_v and_o approve_v by_o the_o holy_a church_n which_o thy_o believe_n can_v err_v in_o her_o definition_n in_o point_n of_o faith_n and_o so_o rest_v assure_v that_o their_o translation_n deliver_v the_o true_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n mean_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o each_o particular_a place_n though_o the_o word_n in_o themselves_o be_v indifferent_a to_o many_o signification_n in_o the_o original_n now_o it_o appear_v evident_o that_o s._n paul_n speak_v of_o a_o religion_n or_o as_o the_o protestant_n will_v have_v it_o a_o worship_a of_o angel_n which_o make_v they_o equal_a to_o christ_n or_o christ_n dependent_a of_o they_o because_o the_o stream_n of_o holy_a ancient_a father_n affirm_v that_o the_o

hence_o that_o the_o worship_n we_o give_v they_o be_v forbid_v unless_o it_o be_v first_o prove_v to_o be_v unlawful_a which_o can_v never_o be_v deduce_v from_o this_o general_a prohibition_n and_o if_o any_o one_o shall_v object_v here_o that_o see_v this_o word_n threskeia_fw-la signifyes_n religion_n and_o worship_n thence_o may_v be_v gather_v that_o all_o worship_n appertain_v to_o

a_o large_a sense_n a_o virtue_n or_o reverence_n belong_v to_o religion_n and_o exceed_v the_o bound_n of_o nature_n and_o civil_a worship_n then_o religious_a worship_n to_o angel_n be_v not_o
