A42751	A treatise against superstitious Jesv-worship wherein the true sense of Phil. 2, 9-10 is opened, and from thence is plainly shewed and by sundry arguments proved, that corporall bowing at the name Jesus, is neither commanded, grounded, or warranted thereupon ... / written especially for the benefit of weake seduced persons that have a zeale towards God, though not according to knowledge by Mascall Giles.

low_a courtesy_n at_o the_o sound_n of_o that_o name_n even_o almost_o to_o the_o ground_n ergo_o bowing_n at_o the_o name_n jesus_n be_v not_o require_v by_o the_o text_n *_o jesus_n whatsoever_o bow_v be_v require_v in_o the_o text_n be_v already_o begin_v by_o every_o creature_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v before_o but_o corporal_a bow_n at_o the_o name_n jesus_n be_v not_o practise_v in_o the_o

inequality_n of_o worship_n between_o the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v false_a but_o so_o to_o expound_v the_o text_n as_o beforementioned_a will_v infer_v a_o inequality_n of_o worship_n between_o the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n ergo_o it_o be_v a_o false_a exposition_n the_o major_n be_v plain_a because_o the_o three_o person_n be_v coequal_a aught_o to_o have_v a_o coequal_a worship_n agreeable_a to_o john_n 5._o 23._o every_o one_o must_v honour_v the_o son_n as_o they_o honour_v the_o father_n the_o minor_a be_v plain_a for_o they_o by_o their_o exposition_n of_o the_o say_a text_n of_o phil._n 2._o 9_o 10._o do_v infer_v a_o bow_n at_o one_o of_o the_o title_n of_o the_o son_n which_o they_o do_v not_o practise_v at_o the_o title_n of_o any_o other_o person_n the_o answer_n give_v to_o this_o reason_n be_v twofold_a first_o they_o affirm_v that_o they_o worship_v all_o alike_o in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n and_o that_o the_o word_n {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o translate_v even_o as_o in_o john_n 5._o 23._o do_v intend_v only_o a_o truenes_n of_o worship_n not_o every_o way_n a_o equal_a correspondency_n i_o reply_v that_o the_o person_n be_v equal_a must_v have_v a_o equal_a worship_n and_o the_o word_n {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o must_v be_v there_o take_v for_o the_o selfsame_a worship_n in_o likeness_n and_o kind_n because_o praise_v and_o glory_n and_o honour_n be_v due_a to_o god_n rom._n 11._o last_o if_o to_o god_n then_o to_o every_o person_n in_o trinity_n because_o every_o person_n be_v god_n we_o be_v to_o serve_v god_n with_o our_o body_n as_o well_o as_o with_o our_o soul_n outward_a honour_n be_v true_a honour_n as_o well_o as_o that_o which_o be_v inward_a if_o then_o all_o honour_n both_o outward_a and_o inward_a be_v to_o be_v do_v to_o god_n not_o any_o honour_n must_v be_v perform_v to_o one_o person_n that_o must_v not_o be_v perform_v to_o another_o therefore_o if_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o honour_v the_o son_n by_o bow_v at_o his_o name_n we_o be_v also_o bind_v to_o honour_v the_o father_n by_o bow_v to_o his_o but_o if_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v so_o to_o honour_v the_o father_n neither_o be_v we_o so_o bind_v to_o honour_v the_o son_n for_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o word_n {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o even_o as_o in_o john_n 5._o *_o ante_fw-la zanchius_n say_v thus_o even_o as_o they_o honour_v the_o father_n that_o be_v i_o say_v say_v he_o with_o the_o like_a selfsame_a honour_n plain_o wherewith_o all_o honour_n the_o father_n and_o a_o little_a before_o to_o who_o say_v he_o a_o equal_a 93._o yea_o every_o way_n the_o selfsame_a honour_n be_v due_a second_o they_o answer_v that_o they_o do_v not_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o three_o person_n for_o by_o bow_v at_o the_o name_n jesus_n they_o worship_v all_o the_o three_o person_n in_o one_o because_o they_o can_v be_v divide_v i_o reply_v though_o they_o can_v be_v divide_v yet_o they_o may_v be_v distinguish_v and_o that_o in_o their_o worship_n too_o else_o that_o place_n of_o john_n be_v to_o no_o purpose_n saint_n steven_n call_v upon_o christ_n personal_o and_o distinct_o act._n 7._o 59_o so_o do_v st_n paul_n upon_o the_o father_n ephes._n 3._o 14._o and_o the_o distinct_a name_n of_o each_o person_n do_v not_o personal_o denote_v the_o other_o person_n as_o when_o i_o say_v i_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n i_o do_v not_o in_o that_o article_n say_v i_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o son_n if_o then_o these_o man_n say_v that_o they_o honour_v every_o person_n alike_o personal_o at_o the_o name_n jesus_n which_o they_o must_v say_v if_o they_o say_v any_o thing_n they_o confound_v the_o person_n for_o the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n be_v not_o in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n nor_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n etc._n etc._n but_o the_o person_n be_v distinguish_v every_o person_n be_v in_o one_o divine_a essence_n and_o the_o whole_a essence_n in_o every_o person_n therefore_o the_o name_n jesus_n be_v a_o proper_a name_n to_o the_o second_o person_n and_o not_o the_o name_n of_o the_o first_o or_o three_o person_n can_v denominate_v but_o only_o the_o second_o person_n and_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o name_n above_o every_o name_n in_o the_o text_n be_v only_o proper_a to_o the_o second_o person_n because_o the_o second_o person_n only_o be_v humble_v therefore_o the_o second_o person_n only_o receive_v this_o name_n from_o whence_o i_o agrue_a look_v as_o the_o son_n be_v personal_o honour_v so_o must_v the_o father_n be_v but_o the_o son_n be_v personal_o honour_v by_o bow_v at_o his_o name_n ergo_o so_o must_v the_o father_n be_v or_o the_o father_n be_v not_o personal_o honour_v by_o bow_v at_o his_o name_n therefore_o the_o son_n must_v not_o be_v so_o honour_v i_o grant_v that_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o son_n be_v essential_o the_o honour_n of_o all_o the_o three_o person_n because_o every_o person_n be_v the_o self-same_a god_n according_a to_o joh._n 5._o 24._o but_o here_o the_o question_n be_v of_o the_o person_n not_o of_o the_o essence_n but_o let_v we_o reason_n from_o the_o essence_n it_o make_v against_o they_o they_o that_o honour_v the_o son_n as_o they_o honour_v the_o father_n must_v so_o honour_v the_o son_n in_o the_o father_n as_o they_o honour_v the_o father_n in_o the_o son_n but_o when_o they_o honour_v the_o son_n in_o the_o father_n they_o do_v not_o bow_v at_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n therefore_o when_o they_o honour_v the_o father_n in_o the_o son_n they_o must_v not_o bow_v at_o the_o name_n of_o the_o son_n for_o if_o they_o do_v how_o do_v they_o honour_v the_o son_n as_o they_o honour_v the_o father_n section_n x._o god_n will_v not_o require_v that_o duty_n of_o any_o of_o his_o creature_n to_o who_o he_o have_v not_o create_v power_n of_o performance_n i_o say_v create_v to_o prevent_v a_o objection_n but_o if_o corporal_a bow_n at_o the_o name_n jesus_n be_v

be_v none_o of_o god_n injunction_n the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o argument_n can_v be_v deny_v without_o blasphemy_n by_o impute_v cruelty_n to_o almighty_a god_n the_o second_o part_n be_v also_o very_o plain_a for_o what_o power_n have_v mere_a sensitive_a and_o insensitive_a creature_n to_o bow_v at_o the_o name_n jesus_n as_o sheep_n and_o ox_n stone_n and_o mineral_n tree_n and_o plant_n which_o neither_o have_v knee_n to_o bow_v ear_n to_o hear_v heart_n to_o understand_v when_o jesus_n be_v name_v what_o shall_v not_o these_o be_v subject_a to_o christ_n till_o jesus_n be_v name_v or_o shall_v it_o be_v great_a then_o than_o at_o another_o time_n how_o senseless_a will_v this_o be_v the_o true_a bow_n which_o be_v the_o bow_n of_o subjection_n as_o i_o have_v show_v be_v

ancient_a and_o modern_a confess_v also_o by_o the_o champion_n for_o bow_v at_o the_o name_n jesus_n as_o *_o 10._o bishop_n andrew_n and_o *_o 48._o mr_n page_n who_o in_o his_o treatise_n of_o justification_n of_o bowing_n understand_v the_o text_n of_o the_o general_a subjection_n of_o all_o creature_n to_o christ_n at_o the_o great_a day_n of_o judgement_n and_o be_v forward_o to_o allege_v many_o author_n for_o it_o as_o theophilact_fw-mi anselm_n aquinas_n illyricus_n hunnius_n and_o hyperius_fw-la salmeron_n zanchius_n and_o estius_n and_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o can_v cite_v twice_o as_o many_o more_o if_o he_o please_v the_o major_a therefore_o be_v undeniable_a for_o the_o minor_a i_o never_o read_v any_o yet_o in_o print_n to_o affirm_v that_o we_o shall_v all_o bow_n at_o the_o name_n jesus_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n master_n page_n indeed_o coast_v towards_o it_o but_o speak_v not_o out_o plain_o for_o thus_o he_o answer_v the_o argument_n take_v from_o

verify_v of_o some_o knee_n now_o i_o agree_v with_o he_o in_o this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o present_a equity_n of_o the_o text_n i_o consent_v to_o mr_n calvin_n who_o say_v that_o though_o the_o

at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n therefore_o we_o must_v declare_v our_o subjection_n by_o bow_v at_o the_o name_n jesus_n be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o affirm_v because_o servant_n must_v be_v subject_a to_o their_o master_n that_o they_o must_v show_v their_o subjection_n by_o bow_v at_o their_o master_n name_n or_o because_o wife_n must_v be_v subject_a to_o their_o husband_n therefore_o they_o must_v make_v a_o curtsy_n at_o the_o name_n of_o their_o husband_n but_o if_o master_n page_n will_v speak_v to_o the_o purpose_n he_o must_v say_v thus_o because_o all_o creature_n shall_v declare_v their_o subjection_n by_o bow_v at_o the_o name_n jesus_n at_o the_o last_o day_n according_o we_o must_v now_o witness_v our_o subjection_n this_o inference_n be_v right_a if_o he_o can_v prove_v his_o ground_n but_o that_o lie_v upon_o the_o proof_n of_o necessity_n our_o present_a bow_n must_v be_v according_a to_o the_o future_a the_o part_n must_v be_v according_a to_o the_o whole_a the_o perfect_a bow_n must_v regulate_v the_o imperfect_a therefore_o if_o bow_v at_o the_o name_n jesus_n shall_v not_o be_v perform_v at_o that_o day_n it_o concern_v none_o so_o to_o bow_v now_o some_o to_o who_o i_o have_v put_v this_o argument_n and_o find_v it_o too_o hot_a for_o they_o stand_v to_o it_o to_o affirm_v that_o bow_n at_o the_o name_n jesus_n shall_v be_v fulfil_v at_o
