a_o lie_n or_o be_v make_v to_o believe_v it_o i_o confess_v it_o be_v hard_a on_o the_o one_o hand_n to_o believe_v that_o this_o story_n shall_v be_v so_o dextrous_o shuffle_v into_o nazianzen_n oration_n that_o the_o impostor_n be_v never_o discover_v yet_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n it_o be_v hard_a to_o believe_v that_o such_o a_o man_n as_o he_o shall_v lend_v his_o belief_n and_o his_o breath_n to_o so_o absurd_a a_o fable_n epiphanius_n also_o tell_v we_o of_o some_o arabian_a woman_n that_o worship_v the_o virgin_n mary_n collyrid_a epiph._n haeres_fw-la 79._o lib._n 3._o tom._n

this_o occasion_n be_v by_o no_o mean_n for_o the_o comfort_n of_o her_o worshipper_n let_v we_o say_v he_o put_v on_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n and_o beat_v down_o the_o madness_n of_o these_o woman_n i_o know_v it_o will_v be_v say_v that_o this_o reproof_n of_o those_o that_o sacrifice_v to_o the_o b._n virgin_n reach_v not_o those_o that_o do_v not_o sacrifice_v to_o she_o but_o worship_v she_o without_o sacrifice_n but_o i_o be_o sure_a epiphanius_n make_v no_o such_o distinction_n for_o say_v he_o who_o of_o the_o prophet_n ever_o allow_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v worship_v much_o less_o a_o woman_n if_o it_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o those_o time_n that_o the_o b._n virgin_n be_v more_o glorious_a than_o the_o cherubin_n and_o seraphim_n epiphanius_n do_v strange_o forget_v himself_o and_o the_o person_n he_o be_v speak_v of_o when_o he_o suppose_v a_o man_n may_v rather_o be_v make_v a_o object_n of_o religious_a worship_n than_o a_o woman_n though_o the_o b._n virgin_n for_o thus_o he_o go_v on_o though_o the_o virgin_n be_v a_o choose_a vessel_n she_o be_v yet_o but_o a_o woman_n the_o old_a error_n shall_v not_o reign_v among_o we_o to_o leave_v the_o live_a god_n and_o to_o worship_v thing_n that_o he_o have_v make_v for_o if_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v the_o angel_n to_o be_v adore_v how_o much_o less_o the_o daughter_n of_o joachim_n and_o anne_n who_o be_v bear_v to_o they_o as_o other_o mortal_n be_v bear_v etc._n etc._n of_o a_o father_n and_o a_o mother_n if_o the_o virgin_n have_v then_o be_v invocate_v with_o prayer_n and_o hymn_n be_v it_o to_o be_v think_v that_o epiphanius_n antidicom_o haer._n 78._o adu._n antidicom_o who_o in_o the_o forego_n discourse_n raise_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o virgin_n as_o high_a as_o truth_n will_v suffer_v he_o will_v not_o have_v say_v it_o there_o or_o distinguish_v it_o from_o sacrifice_n here_o he_o say_v indeed_o let_v mary_n be_v honour_v but_o let_v the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v adore_v but_o if_o it_o have_v be_v then_o as_o it_o be_v now_o epiphanius_n can_v not_o have_v avoid_v say_v let_v mary_n be_v worship_v with_o religious_a invocation_n indeed_o but_o let_v god_n only_o be_v worship_v with_o sacrifice_n but_o do_v he_o intimate_v any_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n nay_o he_o do_v as_o plain_o exclude_v all_o religious_a worship_n of_o she_o as_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o exclude_v a_o thing_n which_o have_v not_o then_o obtain_v in_o the_o church_n for_o say_v he_o god_n do_v not_o commit_v the_o power_n of_o baptise_v to_o mary_n or_o of_o bless_v his_o disciple_n or_o any_o authority_n upon_o earth_n this_o only_a he_o vouchsafe_v to_o she_o to_o be_v a_o sanctify_a creature_n and_o worthy_a to_o enter_v into_o his_o kingdom_n but_o if_o she_o have_v be_v then_o adore_v in_o any_o sort_n and_o epiphanius_n have_v approve_v it_o he_o be_v strange_o forgetful_a of_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o good_a writer_n not_o to_o mention_v it_o in_o this_o place_n at_o least_o where_o the_o plain_a rule_n of_o discourse_n oblige_v he_o and_o will_v have_v lead_v he_o to_o it_o all_o which_o make_v it_o evident_a that_o we_o be_v to_o take_v worship_n or_o adoration_n here_o in_o the_o proper_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n and_o not_o for_o visible_a sacrifice_n only_o and_o the_o whole_a place_n be_v the_o more_o unlucky_a to_o the_o worshipper_n of_o the_o b._n virgin_n because_o no_o comfort_n be_v to_o be_v have_v from_o that_o expression_n of_o 〈◊〉_d of_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d honour_v she_o which_o epiphanius_n require_v we_o shall_v do_v for_o that_o by_o this_o he_o do_v not_o mean_v any_o religious_a worship_n be_v i_o think_v reasonable_o plain_a from_o what_o he_o say_v concern_v

to_o eve_n in_o the_o roman_a church_n but_o i_o be_o confident_a epiphanius_n be_v a_o stranger_n to_o any_o such_o thing_n in_o his_o time_n so_o that_o if_o we_o examine_v these_o word_n of_o worship_v and_o honour_v as_o they_o stand_v in_o epiphanius_n never_o so_o long_o they_o will_v confess_v this_o and_o no_o more_o that_o we_o must_v think_v and_o speak_v very_o honourable_o of_o mary_n as_o be_v a_o most_o holy_a woman_n and_o the_o virgin_n mother_n of_o jesus_n but_o that_o we_o must_v at_o no_o hand_n adore_v she_o with_o any_o sort_n of_o invocation_n or_o religious_a

she_o be_v not_o yet_o to_o be_v honour_v so_o as_o to_o be_v worship_v by_o which_o we_o may_v judge_v of_o the_o modesty_n or_o understanding_n of_o he_o whoever_o he_o be_v that_o clap_v the_o
