more_o famous_a than_o any_o prophet_n yet_o will_v not_o have_v he_o god_n and_o therefore_o worship_n god_n out_o of_o the_o trinity_n and_o so_o worship_v a_o idol_n second_o of_o the_o jew_n who_o though_o he_o acknowledge_v the_o true_a god_n yet_o he_o neither_o acknowledge_v nor_o worship_v he_o in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o worship_v a_o idol_n for_o joh._n 4.23_o and_o 24._o christ_n

according_a to_o their_o doctrine_n he_o be_v not_o so_o because_o for_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n they_o hold_v that_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o sinful_a man_n be_v sufficient_a to_o satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n and_o for_o his_o mercy_n they_o make_v that_o imperfect_a in_o that_o they_o make_v a_o supply_n to_o god_n mercy_n by_o man_n merit_n for_o if_o god_n mercy_n be_v not_o every_o

first_o in_o that_o they_o rob_v christ_n of_o his_o manhood_n by_o teach_v that_o he_o be_v not_o in_o heaven_n local_o but_o in_o all_o place_n where_o the_o mass_n be_v offer_v second_o they_o

take_v the_o crown_n off_o christ_n head_n and_o give_v it_o to_o the_o pope_n for_o his_o priestly_a office_n which_o consist_v in_o satisfaction_n and_o intercession_n they_o likewise_o abuse_v christ_n 1._o of_o his_o satisfaction_n because_o they_o join_v with_o it_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o man_n in_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n 2._o of_o his_o intercession_n in_o that_o they_o join_v the_o virgin_n marie_n a_o intercessor_n for_o they_o in_o heaven_n thus_o they_o degrade_v he_o of_o his_o office_n and_o so_o make_v he_o no_o christ_n now_o if_o they_o deny_v christ_n than_o the_o faith_n 1._o joh._n 2.23_o and_o that_o religion_n that_o deny_v the_o faith_n be_v no_o true_a religion_n but_o atheism_n in_o judgement_n the_o second_o degree_n of_o atheism_n in_o judgement_n be_v when_o man_n place_v some_o creature_n in_o the_o room_n of_o the_o true_a god_n thus_o the_o gentile_n worship_v the_o sun_n moon_n and_o star_n in_o the_o room_n of_o the_o true_a god_n the_o three_o degree_n in_o judgement_n be_v when_o a_o man_n hold_v and_o profess_v no_o god_n at_o all_o the_o high_a and_o most_o notorious_a degree_n of_o all_o these_o be_v not_o worthy_a the_o

be_v no_o god_n now_o by_o the_o way_n let_v every_o one_o of_o we_o examine_v ourselves_o whether_o we_o have_v any_o of_o these_o thought_n and_o imagination_n every_o one_o will_v say_v i_o never_o
