and_o be_v not_o this_o what_o i_o say_v do_v i_o deny_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n pay_v any_o other_o worship_n to_o god_n but_o sacrifice_n but_o i_o say_v and_o so_o say_v our_o jesuit_n

and_o therefore_o give_v to_o creature_n thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o he_o only_o shall_v thou_o serve_v i_o add_v that_o to_o prevent_v the_o worship_n of_o inferior_a

and_o to_o confine_v all_o religious_a worship_n to_o one_o supreme_a be_v in_o opposition_n to_o the_o many_o god_n of_o the_o heathen_n and_o to_o teach_v we_o to_o make_v our_o application_n to_o

which_o make_v it_o improbable_a and_o incongruous_a to_o the_o utmost_a degree_n that_o christ_n shall_v permit_v the_o worship_n of_o saint_n and_o the_o virgin_n mary_n as_o it_o be_v practise_v

of_o that_o idolatrous_a worship_n which_o the_o heathen_n pay_v to_o their_o god_n that_o there_o be_v no_o visible_a distinction_n between_o they_o and_o if_o christ_n intend_v to_o root_v out_o

may_v believe_v the_o worship_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n to_o be_v a_o gospel-doctrine_n notwithstanding_o this_o argument_n but_o such_o argument_n as_o these_o be_v think_v by_o most_o man_n to_o

yet_o if_o give_v religious_a worship_n place_v the_o heathen_a deity_n in_o god_n throne_n i_o will_v glad_o be_v satisfy_v why_o the_o worship_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n shall_v not_o be_v think_v

christ_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o place_n now_o for_o any_o expiatory_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n 2._o the_o gospel_n make_v no_o difference_n between_o legal_a cleanness_n and_o
