the_o city_n it_o be_v now_o depart_v we_o have_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n yet_o in_o our_o land_n and_o may_v it_o be_v the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n to_o continue_v this_o glory_n among_o we_o

holy_a violence_n please_a and_o acceptable_a to_o god_n but_o i_o stand_v no_o more_o upon_o the_o word_n now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o thing_n they_o change_v their_o glory_n that_o be_v their_o god_n how_o may_v a_o people_n change_v their_o god_n they_o may_v change_v their_o god_n two_o way_n first_o when_o they_o forsake_v he_o and_o set_v up_o and_o worship_v some_o other_o god_n in_o his_o

commandment_n or_o second_o a_o people_n may_v change_v their_o god_n when_o they_o change_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n into_o a_o lie_n when_o they_o represent_v and_o worship_n god_n in_o a_o image_n when_o they_o represent_v god_n in_o a_o corporeal_a a_o visible_a a_o finite_a a_o circumscribe_v majesty_n this_o be_v to_o change_v a_o god_n this_o be_v against_o the_o second_o commandment_n and_o you_o must_v know_v that_o thus_o the_o people_n change_v their_o god_n here_o at_o this_o time_n for_o we_o do_v not_o think_v that_o they_o make_v this_o calf_n to_o be_v their_o god_n their_o sin_n be_v bad_a enough_o let_v not_o we_o make_v it_o worse_o than_o it_o be_v they_o have_v cast_v off_o now_o all_o religion_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n let_v not_o we_o think_v they_o have_v cast_v off_o sense_n and_o reason_n with_o it_o can_v we_o imagine_v that_o this_o people_n be_v such_o calf_n as_o to_o think_v that_o the_o calf_n that_o they_o themselves_o have_v make_v yesterday_o be_v the_o very_a god_n that_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o egyt_n three_o month_n before_o the_o calf_n be_v make_v never_o imagine_v that_o they_o take_v not_o this_o calf_n to_o be_v their_o god_n what_o then_o they_o take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o figurative_a sign_n of_o their_o god_n i_o know_v they_o call_v it_o their_o god_n these_o be_v the_o god_n that_o bring_v thou_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n or_o as_o it_o be_v in_o nehemiah_n chap._n 9_o verse_n 18._o this_o be_v thy_o god_n o_o israel_n that_o bring_v thou_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n but_o as_o this_o image_n be_v call_v a_o calf_n in_o my_o text_n they_o make_v a_o calf_n in_o horeb_n though_o it_o be_v no_o calf_n but_o the_o image_n of_o a_o calf_n so_o they_o call_v it_o their_o god_n but_o they_o do_v not_o think_v it_o to_o be_v their_o god_n they_o take_v it_o as_o a_o image_n of_o their_o god_n as_o a_o figurative_a sign_n of_o their_o god_n therefore_o aaron_n proclaim_v to_o morrow_n be_v a_o holy_a day_n to_o jehovah_n not_o to_o the_o calf_n but_o to_o jehovah_n who_o they_o worship_v in_o the_o calf_n i_o pray_v mark_v this_o rule_n that_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n be_v turn_v to_o a_o lie_n and_o god_n be_v change_v to_o the_o image_n that_o be_v worship_v though_o god_n himself_o and_o none_o but_o he_o be_v worship_v in_o that_o image_n i_o say_v god_n be_v change_v into_o that_o image_n that_o be_v worship_v for_o he_o though_o the_o true_a god_n and_o none_o but_o he_o be_v worship_v in_o that_o image_n here_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o the_o rule_n of_o divine_a worship_n be_v not_o the_o will_n of_o the_o worshipper_n but_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o be_v worship_v now_o it_o be_v never_o god_n will_v to_o be_v worship_v in_o a_o image_n take_v a_o similitude_n suppose_v a_o subject_n a_o vassal_n shall_v devise_v a_o honour_n of_o his_o own_o brain_n to_o his_o sovereign_n to_o his_o king_n

prince_n and_o a_o toad_n not_o to_o speak_v of_o that_o infinite_a inequality_n and_o distance_n that_o be_v between_o god_n and_o a_o mortal_a man_n there_o be_v a_o great_a distance_n even_o between_o a_o toad_n and_o a_o idol_n a_o great_a difference_n for_o the_o toad_n be_v the_o workmanship_n of_o god_n a_o idol_n as_o be_v a_o idol_n it_o be_v the_o workmanship_n of_o man_n a_o

the_o determination_n of_o counsel_n and_o the_o long_a tradition_n of_o the_o church_n against_o image_n of_o every_o one_o a_o word_n and_o some_o few_o of_o many_o there_o be_v no_o point_n that_o

of_o christ_n the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o to_o be_v worship_v and_o otherwise_o then_o as_o it_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o the_o

of_o christ_n when_o it_o be_v worship_v be_v a_o idol_n for_o the_o word_n idolatry_n imply_v so_o much_o if_o it_o be_v a_o idol_n not_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n

show_v you_o the_o use_n of_o all_o these_o the_o two_o first_o point_n i_o have_v handle_v now_o i_o come_v to_o my_o three_o proposition_n and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o the_o idolater_n in_o worship_v a_o image_n change_v his_o glory_n into_o that_o image_n mark_v the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n they_o worship_v the_o melt_a image_n and_o in_o do_v that_o they_o change_v their_o glory_n but_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o i_o find_v the_o word_n read_v two_o way_n sometime_o his_o glory_n and_o sometime_o their_o glory_n they_o change_v their_o glory_n the_o greek_a septuagint_n read_v it_o the_o first_o way_n his_o glory_n if_o you_o take_v it_o so_o his_o glory_n that_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n than_o we_o must_v distinguish_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n now_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v twofold_a there_o be_v a_o absolute_a glory_n of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o relative_n glory_n of_o god_n the_o absolute_a glory_n of_o god_n be_v that_o same_o incomprehensible_a ineffable_a majesty_n of_o the_o deity_n dwell_v in_o light_n that_o no_o man_n can_v attain_v to_o this_o glory_n it_o please_v god_n in_o some_o measure_n to_o communicate_v to_o the_o creature_n to_o angel_n and_o to_o man_n in_o such_o a_o wise_a omnipotent_a manner_n as_o be_v convenient_a and_o possible_a for_o they_o to_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o this_o be_v the_o absolute_a glory_n of_o god_n this_o can_v be_v change_v no_o more_o than_o god_n himself_o can_n but_o now_o there_o be_v a_o relative_a glory_n of_o god_n that_o be_v that_o glory_n that_o man_n give_v to_o god_n in_o worship_v of_o he_o that_o glory_n may_v be_v change_v and_o thus_o the_o gentile_n change_v it_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v they_o change_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o incorruptible_a god_n to_o the_o sunilitude_n of_o corruptible_a man_n rom._n 1.23_o and_o thus_o the_o israelite_n here_o change_v his_o glory_n if_o you_o read_v the_o word_n so_o as_o the_o septuagint_n do_v they_o change_v his_o glory_n but_o i_o like_v not_o that_o read_n the_o other_o be_v better_a they_o change_v their_o glory_n their_o own_o glory_n what_o be_v that_o by_o their_o glory_n be_v mean_v god_n himself_o they_o change_v their_o glory_n that_o be_v they_o change_v their_o god_n you_o shall_v have_v a_o place_n of_o scripture_n that_o will_v make_v this_o plain_a to_o you_o jerem._n 2.11_o will_v any_o nation_n change_v their_o god_n say_v god_n by_o his_o prophet_n yet_o my_o people_n have_v change_v their_o glory_n that_o be_v they_o have_v change_v i_o that_o be_o their_o glory_n for_o that_o that_o will_v not_o profit_v let_v i_o observe_v somewhat_o out_o of_o the_o very_a word_n i_o think_v it_o be_v observable_a god_n may_v be_v call_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o people_n two_o way_n first_o as_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o their_o glory_n and_o then_o as_o he_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o their_o glory_n thus_o old_a simeon_n when_o he_o have_v christ_n in_o his_o arm_n he_o call_v he_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o people_n israel_n luke_n 2.32_o the_o lord_n be_v my_o glory_n say_v david_n and_o the_o lifter_n up_o of_o my_o head_n psal_n 3.4_o among_o many_o prerogative_n

it_o as_o some_o do_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o covenant_n god_n be_v their_o glory_n by_o covenant_n or_o else_o you_o may_v take_v it_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o miracle_n by_o which_o god_n bring_v they_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n or_o else_o you_o may_v take_v it_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o divine_a vision_n and_o revelation_n that_o god_n vouchsafe_v to_o they_o or_o which_o i_o take_v especial_o by_o the_o glory_n you_o may_v mean_v the_o ark_n which_o be_v the_o sign_n of_o god_n presence_n and_o therefore_o by_o the_o way_n phineas_n his_o daughter_n in-law_n when_o
