concern_v the_o first_o he_o say_v §_o 5._o that_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n by_o image_n the_o worship_n due_a to_o god_n be_v terminate_v whole_o on_o the_o creature_n and_o sure_o this_o

the_o worship_n which_o god_n himself_o deny_v to_o receive_v must_v be_v terminate_v upon_o the_o creature_n but_o god_n himself_o in_o the_o second_o commandment_n not_o only_o deny_v to_o receive_v

for_o i_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o insist_v upon_o that_o i_o may_v know_v one_o reason_n at_o least_o from_o they_o which_o i_o can_v yet_o procure_v although_o i_o have_v often_o request_v it_o why_o the_o believe_a all_o the_o ancient_a creed_n and_o lead_v a_o good_a life_n may_v not_o be_v sufficient_a to_o salvation_n unless_o one_o be_v of_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o lest_o i_o shall_v be_v think_v to_o digress_v i_o return_v to_o his_o paper_n and_o be_o willing_a to_o pass_v over_o his_o unhandsome_a reflection_n on_o our_o church_n as_o in_o a_o sink_a condition_n which_o god_n have_v hitherto_o preserve_v and_o i_o hope_v will_v do_v to_o the_o confusion_n of_o its_o enemy_n but_o why_o he_o shall_v call_v my_o comparison_n a_o supposition_n and_o his_o own_o a_o truth_n before_o he_o prove_v their_o church_n to_o be_v the_o catholic_n church_n i_o be_o yet_o to_o seek_v and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o main_a business_n §_o 2._o my_o second_o answer_n be_v that_o all_o those_o who_o be_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v run_v so_o great_a a_o hazard_n of_o their_o salvation_n that_o none_o who_o have_v a_o care_n of_o their_o soul_n aught_o to_o embrace_v it_o or_o continue_v in_o it_o which_o i_o be_o amaze_v he_o shall_v say_v be_v not_o pertinent_a to_o the_o question_n if_o the_o question_n be_v propound_v for_o any_o one_o satisfaction_n that_o doubt_v which_o church_n communion_n it_o be_v best_a to_o embrace_v this_o i_o prove_v 1._o because_o they_o must_v by_o the_o term_n of_o that_o communion_n church_n be_v guilty_a either_o of_o hypocrisy_n or_o idolatry_n either_o of_o which_o be_v sin_n inconsistent_a with_o salvation_n here_o he_o charge_v i_o with_o a_o contradiction_n because_o i_o overprove_v what_o i_o intend_v but_o he_o may_v easy_o excuse_v i_o from_o it_o if_o he_o will_v allow_v the_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n to_o any_o one_o who_o commit_v any_o wilful_a sin_n for_o in_o the_o case_n of_o any_o such_o sin_n it_o be_v true_a that_o they_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o salvation_n and_o yet_o he_o that_o do_v commit_v they_o do_v but_o run_v the_o hazard_n of_o salvation_n because_o he_o may_v repent_v of_o they_o but_o if_o it_o be_v a_o contradiction_n to_o say_v that_o some_o sin_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o salvation_n yet_o those_o who_o commit_v they_o may_v be_v save_v though_o hardly_o he_o must_v make_v all_o who_o commit_v any_o wilful_a sin_n to_o be_v unavoidable_o damn_v and_o than_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n what_o church_n we_o be_v of_o the_o meaning_n therefore_o be_v this_o that_o hypocrisy_n and_o idolatry_n be_v sin_n inconsistent_a with_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n and_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o escape_v be_v damn_v but_o by_o the_o repentance_n of_o those_o who_o be_v guilty_a of_o they_o but_o of_o this_o more_o at_o large_a in_o the_o vindication_n of_o my_o three_o answer_n and_o those_o who_o be_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n must_v be_v guilty_a either_o of_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o of_o these_o i_o prove_v by_o this_o argument_n that_o church_n which_o require_v give_v to_o the_o creature_n the_o worship_n due_a only_o to_o the_o creator_n make_v the_o member_n of_o it_o guilty_a of_o hypocrisy_n or_o idolatry_n but_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n by_o image_n the_o adoration_n of_o bread_n in_o the_o eucharist_n and_o the_o formal_a invocation_n of_o saint_n do_v require_v give_v to_o the_o creature_n the_o worship_n due_a only_o to_o the_o creator_n therefore_o it_o make_v the_o member_n of_o it_o guilty_a of_o hypocrisy_n or_o idolatry_n which_o i_o do_v prove_v by_o part_n 1._o §_o 3._o concern_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n by_o image_n image_n i_o prove_v that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v terminate_v on_o god_n because_o in_o the_o second_o commandment_n he_o not_o only_o deny_v to_o receive_v it_o but_o threaten_v to_o punish_v those_o who_o give_v it_o to_o this_o he_o answer_v 1._o that_o it_o be_v a_o contradiction_n to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n by_o a_o image_n and_o yet_o be_v terminate_v whole_o on_o the_o creature_n 2._o that_o this_o be_v build_v on_o a_o mistake_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o humane_a act_n which_o though_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n yet_o when_o they_o swerve_v from_o it_o cease_v not_o to_o tend_v to_o their_o own_o proper_a object_n and_o that_o god_n prohibition_n of_o such_o or_o such_o a_o kind_n of_o worship_n may_v make_v it_o to_o be_v unlawful_a but_o hinder_v not_o the_o act_n from_o tend_v whither_o it_o be_v intend_v which_o he_o prove_v by_o the_o prayer_n of_o thief_n and_o murderer_n to_o god_n for_o good_a success_n the_o jew_n offer_v to_o god_n in_o sacrifice_n the_o blind_a and_o the_o lame_a which_o he_o have_v forbid_v cain_n offer_v a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n which_o he_o refuse_v to_o accept_v of_o from_o whence_o he_o conclude_v that_o though_o god_n shall_v have_v forbid_v man_n to_o worship_v he_o by_o image_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v but_o the_o worship_n so_o give_v will_v be_v terminate_v on_o he_o 3._o that_o the_o second_o commandment_n only_o forbid_v the_o worship_n of_o idol_n or_o the_o give_v the_o sovereign_a honour_n due_a to_o god_n to_o a_o idol_n but_o this_o do_v not_o forbid_v the_o worship_n of_o image_n because_o they_o give_v to_o they_o only_o a_o inferior_a and_o relative_a honour_n and_o not_o that_o worship_n which_o be_v due_a to_o god_n this_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o his_o answer_n but_o to_o let_v you_o see_v the_o insufficiency_n of_o it_o i_o shall_v prove_v these_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o where_o god_n have_v prohibit_v any_o particular_a way_n or_o mean_n of_o give_v worship_n to_o himself_o that_o worship_n so_o give_v can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v terminate_v on_o he_o 2._o that_o god_n in_o the_o second_o commandment_n have_v express_o prohibit_v the_o give_v any_o worship_n to_o himself_o by_o a_o image_n and_o not_o bare_o the_o worship_n of_o idol_n 1._o that_o where_o god_n have_v prohibit_v any_o particular_a way_n or_o mean_n of_o give_v worship_n to_o himself_o that_o worship_n so_o give_v can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v terminate_v on_o he_o and_o however_o new_a this_o way_n of_o

and_o no_o such_o fond_a excuse_n of_o relative_a inferior_a and_o improper_a worship_n will_v serve_v when_o they_o encroach_v upon_o his_o prerogative_n it_o be_v well_o observe_v by_o a_o very_a
