worship_n missapply_v in_o this_o text_n mat._n 4.10_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o this_o text_n command_v not_o that_o god_n only_o shall_v be_v worship_v because_o it_o say_v not_o thou_o shallte_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n only_o but_o though_o it_o have_v say_v so_o yet_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v not_o to_o forbid_v the_o exhibit_v of_o all_o kind_n of_o worship_n to_o any_o save_o god_n but_o only_o such_o worship_n as_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n alone_o and_o which_o without_o sacrilege_n and_o idolatry_n can_v be_v give_v to_o any_o but_o to_o god_n thus_o though_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o god_n only_o have_v immortality_n yet_o that_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o a_o most_o divine_a infinite_a 6.15_o and_o uncreated_a immortality_n proper_a to_o

immortality_n and_o goddess_n in_o the_o person_n which_o he_o worship_v and_o the_o other_o a_o creaded_a and_o finite_a thus_o in_o the_o text_n cite_v mat._n 4.10_o thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o

of_o joseph_n salute_v their_o brother_n when_o his_o brother_n have_v worship_v he_o and_o nothing_o more_o ordinary_a in_o holy_a hcripture_n then_o worship_v give_v to_o person_n in_o dignity_n

at_o h_o all_o be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o any_o save_o god_n plain_o contradict_v those_o and_o the_o like_a place_n of_o scripture_n so_o the_o roman_a catholic_a position_n that_o some_o kind_n of_o

to_o protestant_n notwithstanding_o thath_fw-mi text_n of_o mat._n 4.10_o which_o according_a to_o they_o must_v be_v understand_v to_o forbid_v only_o religious_a worship_n to_o any_o save_o god_n but_o because_o the_o common_a tenet_n of_o catholic_a doctor_n be_v that_o thing_n create_v may_v be_v worship_v with_o some_o kind_n of_o religious_a worship_n i_o will_v make_v it_o evident_a out_o of_o scripture_n that_o some_o religious_a worship_n have_v be_v and_o may_v be_v lawful_o exhibit_v to_o creature_n and_o so_o not_o to_o god_n only_o thus_o we_o read_v in_o the_o book_n of_o king_n that_o the_o captain_n of_o 50_o man_n worship_v elias_n the_o prophet_n 99.5_o and_o 50_o man_n together_o the_o prophet_n elizeus_fw-la and_o after_o the_o sunamite_n receive_v she_o reviue_v soon_o

thy_o foot_n now_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o these_o act_n of_o worship_n be_v religious_a and_o not_o mere_o civil_a we_o must_v know_v in_o general_a that_o worship_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o humiliation_n of_o ourselves_o in_o acknowledgement_n of_o some_o goodness_n and_o excellency_n in_o that_o which_o we_o worship_v so_o
