the_o synagogue_n the_o corinthian_n have_v the_o woman_n veil_n in_o the_o congregation_n to_o signify_v subjection_n judas_n and_o the_o kiss_n of_o peace_n to_o signify_v love_n other_o christian_n

why_o then_o say_v they_o have_v we_o cast_v out_o all_o the_o significant_a ceremony_n of_o popery_n object_n not_o for_o their_o significancy_n bare_o sol._n but_o for_o their_o weight_n and_o

they_o have_v have_v such_o as_o we_o and_o have_v still_o yet_o we_o be_v our_o own_o and_o be_v never_o they_o in_o special_a fire_n and_o water_n be_v contrary_a yet_o they_o agree_v in_o their_o

they_o we_o read_v of_o sacrifice_n offer_v to_o devil_n 10._o yet_o some_o of_o this_o be_v sell_v in_o shambles_n and_o some_o the_o heathen_n make_v feast_n of_o it_o be_v all_o the_o same_o

they_o bless_v a_o idol_n it_o be_v idolatry_n but_o if_o they_o buy_v part_n of_o that_o flesh_n in_o the_o shambles_n and_o eat_v it_o or_o go_v to_o their_o private_a feast_n when_o they_o eat_v of_o it_o for_o aught_o they_o know_v without_o reference_n to_o the_o idol_n then_o say_v paul_n eat_v make_v no_o question_n for_o conscience_n sake_n so_o say_v we_o of_o our_o cross_n surplice_n kneel_v they_o be_v ordinance_n before_o idolator_n abuse_v they_o if_o they_o take_v they_o and_o bless_v a_o idol_n with_o they_o be_v it_o upon_o their_o own_o pate_n but_o if_o we_o be_v invite_v to_o they_o in_o a_o better_a use_n and_o not_o know_v nor_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o suspect_v any_o lurk_a idolatry_n why_o shall_v we_o make_v so_o many_o needless_a question_n about_o the_o use_n of_o they_o put_v case_n such_o as_o they_o be_v pertain_v to_o idolater_n so_o do_v goliahs_n sword_n yet_o david_n lay_v it_o up_o in_o a_o holy_a place_n for_o better_a use_n so_o do_v bow_v belong_v to_o baal_n prostrate_v the_o whole_a body_n to_o idol_n 23.24_o kiss_v to_o the_o calf_n kiss_v the_o hand_n to_o the_o host_n of_o heaven_n 2.8_o lift_v up_o the_o eye_n stretch_v forth_o both_o hand_n shout_a for_o joy_n sit_v or_o lie_v along_o upon_o the_o ground_n or_o on_o a_o carpet_n to_o idol_n yet_o all_o these_o we_o may_v use_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o true_a god_n so_o for_o our_o ceremony_n such_o as_o they_o be_v pertain_v to_o idolater_n but_o be_v not_o idolatrous_a of_o themselves_o the_o cross_n be_v use_v as_o a_o sign_n of_o profession_n before_o
