which_o give_v to_o saint_n and_o image_n only_o such_o act_n of_o worship_n as_o by_o the_o common_a use_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n before_o luther_n be_v determine_v and_o

those_o act_n of_o worship_n be_v which_o the_o arian_n be_v charge_v with_o idolatry_n for_o give_v to_o christ_n suppose_v he_o a_o creature_n 2._o how_o far_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v liable_a to_o the_o same_o charge_n for_o the_o worship_n she_o give_v to_o saint_n and_o image_n 1._o for_o the_o act_n of_o worship_n which_o the_o arian_n be_v charge_v with_o idolatry_n in_o give_v to_o christ_n as_o a_o creature_n the_o strength_n of_o t._n g.'s_n answer_n lie_v in_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o they_o be_v give_v absolute_o to_o christ_n as_o a_o lesser_a god_n 2._o that_o they_o be_v such_o act_n which_o by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o church_n do_v signify_v proper_a divine_a worship_n 1._o let_v we_o consider_v whether_o the_o worship_n give_v to_o christ_n can_v be_v absolute_a upon_o their_o supposition_n that_o christ_n be_v a_o creature_n t._n g._n speak_v somewhat_o faint_o in_o this_o matter_n at_o first_o say_v only_o why_o may_v it_o not_o be_v absolute_a

external_a act_n of_o worship_n belong_v to_o all_o christian_n because_o this_o sacrifice_n belong_v to_o the_o priest_n only_o to_o offer_v p._n d._n and_o what_o answer_n do_v t._n g._n give_v to_o that_o r._n p._n he_o say_v that_o nothing_o be_v more_o notorious_a than_o that_o those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v bind_v on_o every_o sunday_n and_o holy_a day_n to_o hear_v mass._n p._n d._n to_o hear_v mass_n a_o very_a christian_a duty_n no_o doubt_n especial_o if_o they_o understand_v never_o a_o word_n of_o it_o 446._o and_o as_o diana_n say_v a_o man_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o hear_v a_o word_n that_o be_v say_v but_o what_o then_o r._n p._n by_o this_o external_a act_n he_o say_v 524._o they_o testify_v the_o unite_n their_o intention_n with_o the_o priest_n as_o the_o public_a officer_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o oblation_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n p._n d._n i_o have_v often_o hear_v of_o the_o skill_n you_o have_v of_o direct_v intention_n but_o i_o never_o know_v of_o this_o knack_n of_o unite_n intention_n before_o i_o know_v how_o necessary_a the_o priest_n intention_n be_v in_o your_o church_n but_o what_o if_o the_o people_n shall_v fail_v of_o unite_n their_o intention_n with_o he_o as_o they_o often_o think_v and_o talk_v of_o other_o thing_n at_o hear_v mass_n will_v it_o not_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n without_o the_o union_n of_o their_o

any_o power_n to_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n therefore_o the_o act_n of_o sacrifice_v belong_v only_o to_o the_o priest_n whether_o the_o people_n intention_n be_v unite_v or_o not_o if_o the_o people_n first_o offer_v that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v sacrifice_v to_o the_o priest_n and_o then_o he_o sacrifice_v it_o in_o their_o name_n as_o among_o the_o jew_n they_o may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o share_n in_o the_o sacrifice_n but_o when_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v suppose_v to_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n upon_o the_o priest_n word_n and_o he_o do_v not_o represent_v the_o people_n but_o christ_n in_o the_o act_n of_o sacrifice_v what_o do_v the_o people_n unite_n their_o intention_n signify_v to_o the_o sacrifice_n i_o pray_v tell_v i_o in_o who_o name_n do_v the_o priest_n pretend_v to_o the_o power_n of_o offer_v up_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n in_o sacrifice_n on_o the_o altar_n the_o people_n or_o christ_n r._n p._n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n doubtless_o for_o

it_o what_o do_v the_o unite_n the_o people_n intention_n with_o the_o priest_n signify_v as_o to_o the_o offer_v up_o the_o sacrifice_n you_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o the_o jew_n under_o the_o

in_o my_o mind_n your_o phrase_n of_o hear_v and_o see_v mass_n be_v much_o more_o proper_a if_o man_n be_v bind_v either_o to_o hear_v or_o see_v which_o your_o casuist_n say_v they_o be_v not_o

to_o talk_v of_o the_o people_n unite_n their_o intention_n with_o the_o priest_n in_o the_o oblation_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n the_o next_o step_n may_v be_v that_o the_o sacrifice_a may_v depend_v
