it_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o to_o make_v a_o image_n not_o in_o the_o way_n of_o religion_n to_o worship_n god_n by_o it_o enough_o of_o that_o first_o point_n let_v i_o come_v to_o a_o second_o i_o

the_o idolater_n in_o worship_v a_o image_n turn_v his_o glory_n to_o the_o likeness_n of_o that_o image_n four_o that_o the_o worship_v of_o image_n as_o it_o be_v teach_v and_o practise_v in_o the_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 similitude_n of_o corruptible_a man_n rom._n 1._o 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._o 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._o 32._o the_o lord_n be_v my_o glory_n say_v david_n
