adoration_n before_o a_o image_n be_v will-worship_n and_o although_o it_o have_v no_o other_o evil_n in_o it_o but_o this_o one_o it_o behove_v to_o be_v by_o interpretation_n as_o they_o use_v to_o speak_v or_o by_o consequent_a idolatry_n for_o whosoever_o appoint_v of_o his_o own_o head_n a_o new_a manner_n or_o mean_a of_o divine_a worship_n by_o consequence_n also_o appoint_v a_o other_o god_n which_o he_o think_v delyte_v in_o that_o form_n of_o worship_n the_o other_o evil_a be_v that_o adoration_n before_o a_o image_n be_v proper_o and_o formable_a idolatry_n because_o thereby_o religious_a worship_n be_v render_v unto_o another_o then_o unto_o god_n and_o in_o some_o measure_n and_o degree_n the_o image_n be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n which_o be_v clear_v at_o large_a by_o the_o divine_n of_o the_o reform_a kirk_n now_o in_o our_o adoration_n before_o the_o bread_n we_o be_v free_a of_o the_o former_a of_o the_o two_o evil_n because_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o mean_a of_o worship_n authorize_v by_o god_n but_o we_o can_v possible_o be_v free_a of_o the_o other_o evil_n because_o the_o adoration_n before_o the_o bread_n and_o before_o a_o image_n be_v altogether_o a_o like_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o participation_n of_o divine_a worship_n they_o who_o be_v enemy_n to_o image_n say_v vasquez_n in_o his_o 2_o book_n of_o adorat_fw-la disp_n 8._o c._n 13._o and_o use_v image_n only_o for_o history_n and_o remembrance_n do_v not_o bow_v their_o knee_n nor_o prostrate_v themselves_o before_o they_o for_o so_o they_o

he_o must_v have_v the_o cross_n for_o the_o object_n of_o adoration_n although_o image_n be_v mean_n of_o worship_n ordain_v of_o god_n such_o as_o the_o sacrament_n be_v yet_o be_v it_o not_o lawful_a to_o adore_v before_o they_o and_o the_o argument_n whereby_o our_o divine_n prove_v the_o worship_n of_o image_n to_o be_v idolatry_n aim_v not_o at_o this_o point_n to_o show_v that_o image_n be_v not_o lawful_a mean_n of_o worship_n for_o that_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o prove_v that_o worship_n before_o image_n be_v will-worship_n but_o they_o labour_v for_o this_o that_o the_o papist_n while_o they_o adore_v before_o image_n they_o give_v that_o unto_o the_o creature_n which_o be_v proper_a unto_o god_n &_o the_o papist_n in_o this_o question_n use_v not_o this_o defence_n that_o image_n be_v lawful_a mean_n of_o worship_n but_o that_o the_o worship_n of_o image_n be_v relative_a and_o resolve_v upon_o the_o pattern_n who_o image_n they_o be_v 4._o that_o we_o may_v have_v a_o further_a insight_n in_o this_o truth_n we_o must_v learn_v as_o in_o other_o part_n of_o divine_a worship_n so_o in_o our_o adoration_n before_o the_o bread_n to_o distinguish_v betwixt_o that_o which_o be_v internal_a in_o the_o mind_n and_o that_o which_o be_v external_a in_o the_o sense_n and_o gesture_n of_o the_o body_n or_o as_o the_o schoolman_n speak_v betwixt_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoration_n which_o they_o make_v the_o inward_a affection_n of_o subject_v ourselves_o to_o that_o which_o we_o adore_v and_o the_o external_a mark_n or_o sign_n of_o adoration_n which_o they_o also_o call_v the_o material_a part_n of_o adoration_n for_o suppose_v it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o whole_a thought_n and_o affection_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v take_v up_o and_o
