fit_a to_o add_v one_o very_o fit_a passage_n of_o 1._o chron._n 29._o v._o 20._o all_o the_o assemble_v bow_v themselves_o down_o and_o worship_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o king_n exterious_o the_o bow_n be_v both_o alike_o to_o thc_a ground_n but_o the_o inward_a act_n make_v this_o bow_v as_o do_v to_o the_o king_n to_o be_v civil_a honour_n only_a and_o the_o like_o bow_v as_o do_v to_o god_n to_o be_v divine_a honour_n or_o worship_n and_o true_a adoration_n in_o the_o most_o rigorous_a sense_n it_o be_v very_o strange_a to_o observe_v how_o cunning_o your_o bibles_n still_o avoid_v the_o word_n adore_v even_o when_o it_o be_v apply_v to_o god_n which_o seem_v so_o often_o omit_v by_o they_o because_o the_o same_o word_n signify_v to_o adore_v be_v so_o often_o apply_v to_o creature_n you_o can_v then_o blame_v we_o if_o when_o we_o reverence_v saint_n or_o pray_v to_o they_o we_o bow_v kneel_z or_o prostrate_v ourselves_o to_o the_o ground_n even_o seven_o time_n for_o if_o civil_a worship_n for_o this_o word_n the_o last_o text_n have_v may_v pass_v so_o far_o without_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o honour_n why_o may_v not_o a_o inferior_a religious_a worship_n do_v the_o like_a 5._o but_o of_o this_o adore_v for_o religious_a worship_n we_o have_v clear_a scripture_n josue_n c._n 5._o be_v tell_v by_o a_o angel_n that_o this_o angel_n be_v but_o a_o captain_n of_o the_o host_n of_o our_o lord_n joshua_n fall_v on_o his_o face_n to_o the_o earth_n and_o do_v worship_n v._o 14._o behold_v before_o we_o have_v worship_n give_v by_o the_o people_n to_o the_o king_n here_o we_o have_v worship_n do_v to_o a_o angel_n know_v to_o be_v a_o angel_n by_o and_o by_o in_o the_o apocalypse_v we_o shall_v see_v this_o very_a word_n of_o worship_n to_o signify_v the_o reverence_n which_o be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o god_n now_o i_o go_v on_o and_o i_o observe_v that_o the_o angel_n be_v not_o only_o willing_a to_o admit_v of_o this_o honour_n but_o command_v he_o also_o to_o show_v reverence_n to_o the_o very_a place_n make_v holy_a by_o his_o presence_n loose_v say_v he_o thy_o shoe_n from_o thy_o foot_n for_o the_o place_n wherein_o thou_o do_v stand_v be_v holy_a if_o any_o reply_n that_o we_o may_v with_o religious_a worship_n adore_v angel_n as_o josue_n do_v but_o not_o saint_n behold_v the_o scripture_n show_v this_o religious_a worship_n or_o adoration_n due_a to_o spiritual_a excellency_n to_o be_v laudable_o give_v even_o to_o those_o who_o excel_v in_o sanctity_n even_o in_o this_o world_n so_o 1_o king_n 18.7_o abdias_n governor_n of_o
