the_o heathen_n do_v their_o idol_n because_o it_o be_v bodily_a interpretative_a idolatry_n and_o scandal_n but_o the_o heathen_n use_v to_o pray_v to_o their_o under_a deity_n who_o they_o judge_v to_o be_v much_o like_a that_o which_o the_o papist_n judge_v of_o angel_n and_o pray_v to_o invisible_a spirit_n be_v to_o imitate_v they_o as_o scandalous_o as_o pray_v towards_o image_n no_o

they_o twice_o forbid_v it_o john_n see_v thou_o do_v it_o not_o 5._o angel_n be_v more_o holy_a than_o we_o be_v more_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o hatred_n of_o creature_n arrogance_n and_o idolatry_n and_o as_o god_n call_v himself_o special_o jealous_a against_o bodily_a worship_n like_o the_o idolater_n in_o the_o second_o commandment_n so_o angel_n be_v more_o jealous_a against_o it_o than_o we_o be_v 6._o as_o angel_n say_v see_v thou_o do_v it_o not_o so_o contrary_o satan_n tempt_v christ_n with_o the_o offer_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o world_n to_o fall_v down_o and_o worship_v he_o therefore_o we_o have_v rather_o hearken_v to_o the_o angel_n than_o to_o devil_n and_o fear_v they_o that_o do_v otherwise_o worship_n devil_n for_o angel_n because_o only_a devil_n have_v seek_v such_o worship_n and_o the_o devil_n oft_o turn_v himself_o as_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_a to_o deceive_v as_o his_o minister_n do_v into_o minister_n of_o
