that_o sovereignty_n which_o he_o have_v over_o the_o creature_n so_o it_o be_v equal_o impossible_a that_o another_o shall_v have_v the_o same_o homage_n honour_n and_o religious_a worship_n with_o the_o most_o high_a god_n without_o idolatry_n and_o yet_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o honour_v the_o son_n as_o we_o honour_v the_o father_n unless_o he_o be_v likewise_o the_o first_o cause_n the_o

their_o worship_n of_o christ_n be_v subordinate_a and_o direct_v through_o christ_n to_o god_n the_o father_n why_o then_o do_v they_o call_v the_o romanist_n idolater_n why_o do_v they_o not_o shake_v hand_n with_o bellarmine_n and_o kiss_v the_o pope_n toe_n who_o allow_v no_o other_o worship_n to_o the_o virgin_n mary_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o saint_n than_o they_o do_v to_o christ_n who_o they_o make_v altogether_o a_o creature_n neither_o will_v their_o simile_n of_o a_o king_n and_o his_o son_n or_o a_o favourite_n do_v here_o for_o a_o king_n may_v divest_v himself_o of_o his_o royal_a authority_n but_o it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o god_n he_o can_v but_o be_v the_o first_o cause_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o therefore_o the_o creature_n will_v be_v always_o bind_v to_o worship_v he_o as_o such_o now_o as_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o justice_n and_o truth_n of_o god_n to_o command_v we_o to_o worship_v he_o for_o the_o first_o cause_n for_o the_o creator_n who_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a creature_n so_o since_o we_o be_v oblige_v by_o scripture_n to_o pay_v the_o same_o homage_n faith_n and_o obedience_n to_o the_o son_n as_o to_o the_o father_n to_o honour_v the_o son_n as_o we_o honour_v the_o father_n we_o must_v conclude_v that_o the_o son_n as_o well_o as_o the_o father_n be_v the_o first_o cause_n the_o great_a creator_n the_o most_o high_a
