of_o their_o worship_n namely_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o worshipper_n who_o have_v communion_n with_o he_o and_o if_o it_o be_v here_o object_v this_o be_v mean_v of_o none_o but_o the_o idol_n

if_o we_o will_v worship_v god_n it_o must_v be_v tender_v up_o to_o he_o in_o his_o own_o house_n and_o by_o his_o own_o rule_n and_o ordinance_n or_o else_o it_o be_v not_o he_o neither_o do_v he_o
