also_o plain_o discover_v to_o be_v idolatrous_a by_o manifest_a reduction_n to_o my_o propose_a definition_n of_o idolatry_n which_o i_o will_v do_v with_o all_o brevity_n there_o be_v no_o difficulty_n at_o all_o in_o the_o business_n and_o i_o will_v begin_v with_o invocation_n which_o as_o i_o have_v prove_v in_o my_o antidote_n can_v belong_v to_o no_o invisible_a power_n or_o

omnipresence_n or_o omnipercipience_n no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o terrestrial_a whence_o it_o it_o plain_a that_o in_o invoke_v they_o one_o of_o the_o divine_a peculiarity_n be_v violate_v or_o

they_o as_o doctor_n thorndike_n himself_o can_v but_o confess_v according_o as_o i_o have_v note_v at_o the_o end_n of_o my_o reply_n but_o to_o invoke_v they_o or_o pray_v to_o they_o for_o such_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v in_o god_n power_n only_o to_o give_v which_o all_o papist_n do_v as_o dr._n thorndike_n plain_o assert_n nor_o can_v it_o be_v put_v off_o upon_o pretence_n of_o a_o figurative_a speech_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v in_o my_o reply_n this_o be_v double_a idolatry_n as_o violate_v two_o divine_a peculiarity_n at_o once_o both_o the_o omnipresence_n or_o omnipercipience_n of_o god_n and_o also_o his_o omnipotence_n they_o give_v that_o power_n to_o a_o creature_n which_o be_v in_o god_n alone_o but_o make_v vow_n to_o any_o saint_n or_o angel_n in_o such_o danger_n as_o a_o creature_n may_v have_v power_n to_o rid_v we_o from_o be_v but_o the_o same_o kind_n of_o idolatry_n that_o simple_a invocation_n if_o they_o be_v both_o mental_a or_o both_o vocal_a xxviii_o the_o idolatry_n of_o erect_v temple_n altar_n image_n or_o symbolical_a presence_n to_o saint_n or_o angel_n reduce_v to_o the_o propose_a definition_n and_o now_o for_o the_o erect_n temple_n altar_n image_n or_o symbolical_a presence_n to_o saint_n or_o angel_n all_o which_o be_v manifest_o do_v in_o reference_n to_o their_o invocation_n it_o be_v thence_o plain_a that_o all_o this_o be_v do_v to_o a_o idolatrous_a end_n and_o therefore_o upon_o this_o very_a consideration_n have_v the_o smut_v of_o idolatry_n upon_o it_o but_o beside_o more_o distinct_o god_n have_v appropriate_v these_o mode_n of_o be_v worship_v to_o himself_o and_o his_o judgement_n be_v so_o infallible_a what_o befit_v he_o and_o be_v most_o proper_a for_o he_o when_o he_o will_v be_v worship_v in_o a_o more_o external_a and_o ritual_a way_n it_o be_v evident_a presumption_n and_o profanation_n of_o the_o peculiarity_n of_o his_o godhead_n as_o to_o external_a worship_n to_o
