land_n and_o may_v it_o be_v the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n to_o continue_v this_o glory_n among_o we_o till_o jesus_n christ_n come_v in_o glory_n with_o all_o his_o saint_n but_o brethren_n do_v

when_o they_o change_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n into_o a_o lie_n when_o they_o represent_v and_o worship_n god_n in_o a_o image_n when_o they_o represent_v god_n in_o a_o corporeal_a a_o visible_a a_o

god_n here_o at_o this_o time_n for_o we_o do_v not_o think_v that_o they_o make_v this_o calf_n to_o be_v their_o god_n their_o sin_n be_v bad_a enough_o let_v not_o we_o make_v it_o worse_o than_o it_o be_v they_o have_v cast_v off_o now_o all_o religion_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n let_v not_o we_o think_v they_o have_v cast_v off_o sense_n and_o reason_n with_o it_o can_v we_o imagine_v that_o this_o people_n be_v such_o calf_n as_o to_o think_v that_o the_o calf_n that_o they_o themselves_o have_v make_v yesterday_o be_v the_o very_a god_n that_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o egyt_n three_o month_n before_o the_o calf_n be_v make_v never_o imagine_v that_o they_o take_v not_o this_o calf_n to_o be_v their_o god_n what_o then_o they_o take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o figurative_a sign_n of_o their_o god_n i_o know_v they_o call_v it_o their_o god_n these_o be_v the_o god_n that_o bring_v thou_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n or_o as_o it_o be_v in_o nehemiah_n chap._n 9_o verse_n 18._o this_o be_v thy_o god_n o_o israel_n that_o bring_v thou_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n but_o as_o this_o image_n be_v call_v a_o calf_n in_o my_o text_n they_o make_v a_o calf_n in_o horeb_n though_o it_o be_v no_o calf_n but_o the_o image_n of_o a_o calf_n so_o they_o call_v it_o their_o god_n but_o they_o do_v not_o think_v it_o to_o be_v their_o god_n they_o take_v it_o as_o a_o image_n of_o their_o god_n as_o a_o figurative_a sign_n of_o their_o god_n therefore_o aaron_n proclaim_v to_o morrow_n be_v a_o holy_a day_n to_o jehovah_n not_o to_o the_o calf_n but_o to_o

the_o image_n that_o be_v worship_v though_o god_n himself_o and_o none_o but_o he_o be_v worship_v in_o that_o image_n i_o say_v god_n be_v change_v into_o that_o image_n that_o be_v worship_v for_o he_o though_o the_o true_a god_n and_o none_o but_o he_o be_v worship_v in_o that_o image_n here_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o the_o rule_n of_o divine_a worship_n be_v not_o the_o will_n of_o the_o

and_o distance_n that_o be_v between_o god_n and_o a_o mortal_a man_n there_o be_v a_o great_a distance_n even_o between_o a_o toad_n and_o a_o idol_n a_o great_a difference_n for_o the_o toad_n be_v the_o workmanship_n of_o god_n a_o idol_n as_o be_v a_o idol_n it_o be_v the_o workmanship_n of_o man_n a_o toad_n it_o be_v a_o live_a creature_n it_o have_v sense_n and_o motion_n the_o image_n be_v a_o senseless_a block_n it_o have_v neither_o life_n nor_o motion_n therefore_o hear_v how_o it_o please_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n to_o call_v consecrate_v image_n he_o call_v
