give_v they_o he_o teach_v they_o to_o address_v their_o prayer_n neither_o to_o saint_n nor_o angel_n but_o to_o god_n only_o our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n when_o st._n paul_n charge_v

deity_n for_o they_o acknowledge_v but_o one_o supreme_a god_n who_o make_v all_o the_o other_o god_n but_o either_o as_o sharer_n in_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n or_o mediator_n and_o

jesus_n christ_n our_o great_a mediator_n and_o advocate_n with_o god_n the_o father_n that_o be_v that_o we_o must_v worship_v none_o else_o and_o that_o none_o of_o the_o distinction_n which_o be_v

for_o either_o these_o distinction_n be_v know_v or_o they_o be_v not_o know_v when_o the_o apostle_n write_v this_o and_o in_o both_o case_n his_o silence_n be_v a_o argument_n against_o they_o if_o they_o be_v know_v he_o reject_v they_o and_o determine_v against_o they_o for_o he_o affirm_v absolute_o without_o the_o salvo_fw-la of_o any_o distinction_n that_o we_o have_v but_o one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n that_o be_v that_o we_o must_v worship_v no_o more_o if_o they_o be_v not_o know_v as_o it_o be_v likely_a they_o be_v not_o because_o the_o apostle_n take_v no_o notice_n of_o they_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a argument_n that_o these_o distinction_n be_v of_o no_o use_n unless_o they_o will_v say_v that_o st._n paul_n who_o be_v guide_v by_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n be_v ignorant_a of_o some_o very_a useful_a and_o material_a notion_n about_o the_o object_n of_o worship_n if_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o know_v these_o distinction_n it_o be_v evident_a they_o be_v of_o a_o late_a date_n and_o therefore_o can_v have_v no_o authority_n against_o a_o apostolical_a determination_n if_o he_o do_v not_o know_v they_o he_o can_v have_v no_o regard_n to_o they_o and_o therefore_o make_v no_o allowance_n for_o such_o exception_n nay_o the_o same_o apostle_n do_v not_o only_o give_v we_o such_o general_a rule_n as_o necessary_o exclude_v the_o worship_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n but_o do_v express_o condemn_v it_o and_o warn_v the_o christian_n against_o it_o he_o foretell_v of_o the_o apostasy_n of_o the_o latter_a day_n 1._o wherein_o some_o shall_v depart_v

some_o new_a inferior_a deity_n saint_n or_o angel_n or_o whatever_o they_o be_v as_o mediator_n and_o intercessor_n between_o god_n and_o man_n this_o be_v the_o true_a notion_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o daemon_n among_o the_o heathen_n time_n and_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o the_o time_n shall_v come_v when_o some_o christian_n for_o it_o be_v evident_a he_o speak_v here_o of_o the_o apostasy_n of_o christian_n shall_v fall_v into_o the_o same_o idolatry_n which_o be_v a_o exact_a prophecy_n of_o what_o we_o now_o see_v do_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n who_o have_v the_o same_o notion_n of_o their_o saint_n and_o angel_n and_o pay_v the_o same_o worship_n to_o they_o which_o the_o heathen_n former_o do_v to_o their_o daemon_n or_o inferior_a go_n 3._o and_o as_o a_o further_a confirmation_n of_o this_o i_o observe_v that_o the_o gospel_n of_o our_o saviour_n forbid_v idolatry_n without_o give_v we_o any_o new_a notion_n of_o idolatry_n and_o therefore_o it_o have_v make_v no_o alteration_n at_o all_o in_o this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o one_o god_n which_o moses_n so_o express_o command_v the_o jew_n to_o observe_v for_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v to_o the_o jew_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o gentile_n nay_o the_o jew_n have_v the_o first_o and_o most_o undoubted_a right_n to_o it_o as_o be_v the_o posterity_n of_o abraham_n to_o who_o the_o

the_o gospel_n do_v not_o in_o express_a term_n make_v a_o change_n and_o alteration_n of_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o since_o there_o be_v no_o such_o alteration_n make_v and_o yet_o the_o law_n against_o idolatry_n renew_v and_o confirm_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o gospel_n what_o can_v the_o jew_n understand_v else_o by_o idolatry_n but_o what_o be_v account_v idolatry_n by_o the_o

one_o for_o the_o jew_n and_o another_o for_o the_o gentile_n all_o christian_n whether_o jew_n or_o gentile_n must_v be_v under_o the_o obligation_n of_o the_o same_o law_n to_o worship_v only_o one_o god_n the_o notion_n of_o idolatry_n must_v alter_v as_o the_o object_n of_o religious_a worship_n do_v if_o we_o must_v worship_v one_o god_n and_o none_o beside_o he_o than_o it_o be_v
