if_o so_o why_o i_o wonder_v shall_v it_o be_v a_o duty_n in_o their_o private_a family_n and_o none_o in_o the_o public_a congregation_n where_o their_o practice_n show_v that_o they_o think_v it_o

in_o the_o world_n beside_o that_o of_o nature_n and_o special_a revelation_n for_o abraham_n bow_v himself_o before_o god_n and_o the_o gentile_n in_o all_o part_n of_o the_o world_n do_v the_o

that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n so_o they_o oblige_v we_o to_o worship_v that_o god_n with_o all_o reverence_n and_o adoration_n imaginable_a and_o as_o many_o author_n build_v a_o argument_n upon_o the_o former_a to_o prove_v the_o existence_n of_o a_o deity_n so_o we_o may_v build_v as_o strong_a a_o argument_n on_o the_o latter_a to_o prove_v corporal_a adoration_n for_o the_o law_n of_o
