to_o do_v with_o which_o manifest_o show_v that_o a_o put_v church_n to_o any_o common_a use_n be_v a_o profane_v or_o despise_v of_o they_o even_o according_a to_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o the_o

that_o be_v common_a in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v a_o despise_v it_o it_o be_v set_v a_o part_n for_o holy_a use_n questionless_a holiness_n be_v most_o fit_a for_o holy_a place_n the_o great_a

to_o be_v as_o zealous_a of_o glorify_v god_n in_o their_o spirit_n as_o they_o profess_v for_o as_o out_o of_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v so_o internal_a devotion_n if_o it_o be_v intense_a will_v certain_o discover_v itself_o in_o external_a reverence_n and_o adoration_n for_o it_o seem_v very_o near_o a_o impossibility_n very_o improbable_a i_o be_o sure_a

show_v either_o their_o ignorance_n or_o ill_a nature_n for_o the_o proper_a notion_n of_o idolatry_n consist_v in_o a_o give_v that_o honour_n and_o religious_a worship_n to_o any_o creature_n which_o be_v due_a to_o god_n only_o now_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v of_o these_o man_n to_o what_o creature_n we_o pay_v any_o thing_n of_o religious_a worship_n in_o any_o act_n before_o mention_v suppose_v we_o proceed_v to_o a_o bow_v at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n i_o be_o confident_a we_o may_v prove_v this_o full_a as_o lawful_a and_o necessary_a as_o stand_v up_o at_o the_o creed_n which_o some_o of_o they_o do_v allow_v for_o the_o former_a be_v sometime_o use_v in_o some_o place_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o arrian_n who_o deny_v the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n that_o by_o this_o act_n they_o may_v show_v they_o own_a he_o to_o be_v god_n as_o well_o as_o man_n by_o allow_v he_o a_o fit_a object_n of_o divine_a worship_n which_o they_o hold_v the_o arrian_n can_v not_o do_v without_o idolatry_n as_o they_o deny_v he_o to_o be_v any_o more_o than_o a_o creature_n and_o the_o latter_a be_v practise_v by_o some_o to_o show_v that_o they_o give_v a_o full_a assent_n to_o all_o the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n in_o opposition_n to_o those_o who_o deny_v some_o of_o they_o now_o if_o we_o look_v bare_o upon_o the_o action_n it_o be_v almost_o the_o
