temple_n when_o they_o will_v adore_v god_n the_o east_n and_o temple_n serve_v for_o a_o determination_n of_o their_o action_n whereby_o their_o adoration_n be_v know_v to_o be_v to_o god_n so_o

especial_o of_o the_o same_o saint_n they_o m._n as_o for_o simple_a reverence_n it_o be_v a_o barbarousness_n and_o want_n of_o common_a sense_n to_o deny_v they_o that_o if_o you_o admit_v the_o use_n of_o they_o for_o if_o they_o be_v use_v for_o a_o religious_a end_n they_o be_v belong_v to_o god_n and_o holy_a and_o therefore_o to_o be_v treat_v with_o respect_n try_v but_o any_o that_o deny_v this_o in_o somewhat_o they_o esteem_v holy_a and_o you_o shall_v find_v nature_n teach_v they_o the_o same_o good_a manner_n and_o it_o be_v a_o mear_z shortness_n of_o discourse_n to_o disallow_v that_o to_o picture_n which_o themselves_o grant_v to_o other_o thing_n for_o example_n to_o church_n a_o bible_n and_o such_o like_a now_o the_o reason_n of_o prefer_v one_o picture_n

for_o saint_n or_o holy_a person_n be_v all_o either_o in_o pain_n or_o pleasure_n you_o see_v how_o those_o who_o be_v say_v communicate_v with_o the_o other_o two_o by_o pray_v to_o the_o saint_n
