i_o doubt_v whether_o it_o can_v be_v make_v good_a by_o history_n that_o the_o israelite_n in_o general_a who_o many_o time_n be_v notorious_a idolater_n in_o the_o holy_a land_n continue_v always_o true_a worshipper_n in_o the_o land_n of_o idolater_n i_o can_v say_v more_o but_o i_o will_v contract_v myself_o because_o i_o reserve_v myself_o for_o somewhat_o else_o but_o what_o if_o this_o idolatry_n be_v but_o a_o conceit_n of_o interpreter_n some_o interpreter_n and_o upon_o better_a examination_n prove_v no_o such_o matter_n first_o for_o the_o word_n image_n it_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o original_a word_n matseba_fw-la may_v as_o well_o be_v translate_v a_o altar_n and_o so_o indeed_o it_o be_v by_o the_o old_a latin_a and_o greek_a interp_v or_o pillar_n intend_v for_o a_o sacred_a memorial_n as_o gen._n 28._o 18._o es._n 19_o 19_o where_o altar_n and_o pillar_n seem_v to_o stand_v for_o one_o thing_n both_o dedicate_v to_o the_o true_a god_n and_o be_v it_o not_o much_o more_o probable_a that_o sacrifice_n and_o a_o altar_n shall_v be_v join_v then_o sacrifice_n and_o image_n so_o here_o be_v no_o idolatry_n in_o these_o word_n there_o be_v more_o difficulty_n about_o the_o teraphim_n because_o we_o have_v not_o as_o be_v object_v a_o precedent_n in_o scripture_n where_o teraphim_n be_v take_v in_o good_a sense_n for_o any_o part_n of_o god_n service_n or_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v then_o lawful_a and_o in_o use_n if_o it_o be_v grant_v yet_o we_o do_v not_o want_v example_n in_o scripture_n of_o other_o word_n which_o be_v take_v in_o some_o one_o place_n or_o other_o in_o a_o different_a sense_n from_o their_o usual_a signification_n i_o can_v instance_n in_o many_o such_o word_n if_o i_o think_v either_o time_n or_o place_n seasonable_a in_o some_o place_n it_o be_v translate_v idol_n as_o gen._n 31._o in_o some_o idolatry_n as_o 1_o sam_n 15._o 23_o in_o some_o image_n as_o 1_o sam._n 19_o more_o than_o once_o where_o best_a interpreter_n by_o image_n understand_v a_o ordinary_a statue_n or_o man_n picture_n not_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v unlawful_a or_o idolatrous_a and_o why_o not_o here_o also_o teraphim_n be_v join_v with_o other_o good_a word_n in_o a_o good_a sense_n but_o what_o use_v of_o picture_n or_o image_n in_o god_n service_n or_o to_o religious_a use_n st._n jerome_n will_v tell_v we_o both_o for_o

general_o acknowledge_v the_o best_a and_o safe_a way_n what_o be_v here_o more_o large_o and_o full_o set_v out_o that_o be_v by_o more_o particular_n 2_o chron._n 15._o 3._o be_v thus_o comprise_v but_o here_o by_o the_o praeterit_fw-la historical_o in_o my_o text_n by_o the_o future_a as_o a_o prophecy_n of_o the_o same_o people_n but_o not_o of_o the_o same_o man_n for_o the_o child_n of_o

without_o a_o law_n their_o desolation_n the_o restitution_n follow_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n but_o when_o they_o in_o their_o trouble_n do_v turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n etc._n etc._n the_o difference_n be_v great_a as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o word_n in_o the_o second_o verse_n no_o messiah_n no_o king_n david_n here_o but_o only_o a_o restitution_n in_o general_a but_o in_o the_o first_o verse_n there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o the_o same_o thing_n in_o effect_n be_v intend_v in_o both_o place_n here_o more_o concise_o as_o i_o say_v before_o in_o my_o text_n more_o full_o set_v out_o to_o wit_n that_o the_o israelite_n have_v be_v in_o chronicle_n shall_v be_v in_o the_o prophet_n without_o any_o public_a worship_n of_o the_o true_a god_n so_o now_o the_o text_n be_v clear_a and_o the_o word_n acquit_v of_o all_o superstition_n and_o idolatry_n a_o easy_a mistake_n though_o in_o the_o true_a nature_n or_o formalis_fw-la ratio_fw-la of_o true_a religion_n and_o idolatry_n there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n yet_o in_o outward_a appearance_n they_o may_v come_v so_o near_o sometime_o that_o a_o man_n have_v need_v much_o

pass_v any_o judgement_n deut._n 13._o 12_o 13_o 14._o then_o shall_v thou_o inquire_v and_o make_v search_v and_o ask_v diligent_o and_o behold_v if_o it_o be_v truth_n and_o the_o thing_n certain_a

so_o much_o affinity_n sometime_o external_o between_o true_a and_o false_a worship_n the_o jew_n once_o mistake_v their_o brethren_n the_o reubenite_n and_o they_o have_v like_o to_o have_v make_v
