of_o his_o answer_n he_o say_v that_o when_o he_o see_v other_o when_o they_o shall_v worship_v god_n sit_v on_o their_o tail_n like_o dog_n or_o wallow_v and_o loll_v and_o grunt_v and_o groan_v

the_o other_o i_o be_o sure_a his_o censure_n be_v very_o uncharitable_a for_o though_o man_n worship_v according_a to_o their_o conscience_n may_v miss_v in_o legal_a circumstance_n yet_o it_o be_v

possible_a i_o may_v have_v thought_n of_o god_n several_a representation_n of_o himself_o as_o by_o moses_n by_o the_o man_n christ_n by_o his_o apostle_n which_o be_v to_o worship_v he_o for_o his_o

my_o worship_n be_v not_o at_o all_o time_n subtilise_v in_o my_o imagination_n and_o memory_n therefore_o though_o i_o shall_v admit_v to_o the_o gentleman_n that_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v essential_o place_v in_o the_o thought_n it_o do_v not_o thence_o follow_v as_o he_o will_v have_v it_o though_o illogical_o that_o different_a thought_n must_v make_v different_a worship_n for_o there_o be_v always_o a_o identity_n of_o worship_n both_o natural_a and_o ground_v upon_o reveal_v truth_n and_o if_o internal_a worship_n be_v no_o more_o than_o conceive_v of_o all_o way_n
