base_a flattery_n erect_v altar_n all_o be_v full_a of_o robbery_n nothing_o be_v see_v but_o sacrilege_n and_o usurpation_n of_o the_o divinity_n st._n paul_n in_o opposition_n to_o all_o these_o false_a god_n say_v that_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o god_n before_o ever_o he_o be_v know_v by_o man_n they_o be_v not_o man_n therefore_o that_o put_v he_o in_o the_o

man_n that_o be_v propitious_a to_o god_n because_o he_o can_v not_o become_v god_n till_o after_o it_o have_v please_v man_n to_o declare_v he_o such_o but_o the_o difference_n be_v glorious_a on_o
