and_o his_o word_n and_o minister_n be_v not_o so_o hot_a for_o the_o most_o part_n but_o that_o a_o few_o idle_a clamour_n and_o false_a accusation_n will_v quick_o cool_v it_o and_o then_o have_v

and_o frailty_n and_o in_o this_o regard_n as_o every_o one_o have_v more_o virtue_n and_o more_o godliness_n so_o he_o will_v more_o beware_v of_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v hurt_v he_o or_o infect_v he_o so_o much_o for_o the_o general_a in_o that_o he_o stand_v so_o large_o in_o forbid_v all_o manner_n of_o idol_n and_o all_o manner_n of_o worship_n show_v how_o apt_a we_o be_v to_o seek_v

learn_v from_o hence_o be_v that_o he_o that_o will_v avoid_v idolatry_n must_v avoid_v idol_n as_o in_o the_o corporal_a marriage_n those_o that_o will_v avoid_v adultery_n must_v avoid_v adulterer_n so_o in_o the_o spiritual_a marriage_n those_o that_o will_v keep_v themselves_o from_o idolatry_n must_v keep_v themselves_o from_o idol_n therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n himself_o 1._o john_n 5._o say_v babe_n beware_v of_o idol_n meet_v with_o a_o secret_a objection_n that_o may_v be_v make_v indeed_o i_o hate_v idolatry_n but_o yet_o to_o have_v idol_n to_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o god_n and_o to_o beautify_v the_o place_n that_o i_o trust_n be_v no_o such_o peril_n yes_o it_o be_v beware_v of_o idol_n if_o you_o will_v be_v free_v from_o idolatry_n put_v away_o all_o provokement_n and_o inducement_n to_o it_o now_o of_o these_o idol_n some_o be_v more_o damnable_o blasphemous_a &_o most_o direct_o against_o this_o commandment_n and_o those_o be_v such_o as_o be_v make_v to_o represent_v any_o of_o the_o three_o person_n in_o trinity_n the_o father_n son_n or_o holy_a ghost_n and_o these_o what_o ever_o pretence_n or_o purpose_n one_o have_v in_o set_v they_o up_o be_v simple_o evil_a therefore_o deut._n 4._o 12._o moses_n show_v the_o people_n that_o when_o god_n come_v purposely_o to_o show_v his_o power_n near_o unto_o they_o and_o to_o speak_v in_o their_o ear_n yet_o he_o show_v no_o image_n nor_o resemblance_n of_o himself_o but_o only_o they_o hear_v a_o voice_n and_o therefore_o in_o any_o case_n they_o shall_v not_o go_v about_o to_o make_v any_o image_n to_o represent_v god_n unto_o they_o so_o isai_n 40._o 18._o whereunto_o will_v you_o liken_v i_o what_o similitude_n will_v you_o make_v of_o i_o there_o he_o show_v the_o cause_n of_o make_v of_o image_n to_o resemble_v god_n be_v because_o we_o can_v conceive_v of_o he_o and_o his_o greatness_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v for_o if_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o all_o thing_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v compare_v to_o he_o they_o be_v not_o only_o nothing_o but_o less_o than_o nothing_o and_o therefore_o what_o thing_n can_v they_o find_v to_o set_v forth_o god_n magestie_n what_o

which_o be_v less_o than_o nothing_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o blasphemous_a debasement_n of_o his_o magestie_n and_o lift_v not_o up_o our_o heart_n unto_o he_o but_o draw_v down_o our_o heart_n from_o he_o to_o conceive_v carnal_o of_o he_o as_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o see_v if_o we_o shall_v see_v a_o man_n have_v snake_n and_o toad_n and_o adder_n in_o great_a account_n and_o

a_o great_a disgrace_n to_o the_o prince_n but_o now_o there_o be_v a_o thousand_o time_n more_o agreement_n betwixt_o the_o great_a prince_n and_o a_o toad_n then_o betwixt_o god_n and_o a_o idol_n for_o the_o toad_n be_v a_o creature_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o the_o prince_n but_o a_o idol_n be_v the_o work_n of_o man_n finger_n a_o toad_n have_v life_n and_o sense_n excellent_a gift_n and_o wherein_o it_o something_o resemble_v the_o prince_n but_o to_o set_v god_n out_o by_o any_o idol_n he_o that_o be_v infinite_a in_o wisdom_n by_o a_o senseless_a thing_n he_o to_o the_o workmanship_n

least_o occasion_n to_o break_v out_o from_o keep_v of_o they_o as_o we_o may_v mark_v here_o first_o he_o say_v thou_o shall_v make_v to_o thyself_o no_o image_n no_o may_v some_o carnal_a man_n say_v indeed_o we_o will_v make_v no_o image_n of_o any_o earthly_a thing_n for_o these_o can_v set_v out_o god_n well_o enough_o but_o for_o heavenly_a thing_n those_o be_v more_o excellent_a therefore_o to_o prevent_v this_o god_n shut_v out_o all_o excuse_n &_o say_v that_o no_o man_n must_v make_v the_o image_n of_o any_o thing_n in_o heaven_n or_o in_o earth_n or_o in_o the_o sea_n or_o in_o any_o place_n whatsoever_o but_o yet_o flesh_n will_v shift_v and_o say_v indeed_o it_o be_v true_a we_o must_v make_v no_o resemblance_n or_o image_n or_o piece_n of_o a_o image_n of_o any_o thing_n but_o this_o be_v mean_v that_o it_o must_v not_o be_v do_v to_o that_o intent_n to_o give_v any_o divine_a worship_n to_o the_o image_n itself_o and_o to_o honour_v that_o as_o god_n but_o we_o may_v make_v these_o image_n to_o help_v we_o in_o worship_v god_n nay_o say_v god_n thou_o shall_v not_o bow_v down_o nor_o worship_v they_o i_o neither_o give_v they_o the_o great_a

commandment_n leave_v it_o then_o the_o grievous_a threaten_n that_o god_n use_v to_o affright_v man_n from_o it_o show_n that_o they_o be_v easy_a &_o willing_a to_o be_v draw_v unto_o it_o and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o strange_a promise_n and_o inclination_n in_o every_o man_n nature_n to_o this_o sin_n of_o false_a worship_n so_o in_o deut._n 7._o 25._o 26._o god_n labour_v with_o the_o

of_o the_o plate_n or_o meddle_v with_o it_o for_o if_o they_o do_v it_o will_v ensnare_v they_o it_o will_v make_v they_o remember_v the_o idol_n &_o from_o remember_v fall_n to_o like_n and_o at_o

the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n for_o for_o all_o the_o world_n else_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o false_a worship_n &_o the_o whole_a earth_n be_v overwhelm_v with_o a_o sea_n of_o idolatry_n but_o these_o israelite_n be_v but_o a_o while_n among_o the_o egyptian_n and_o we_o see_v how_o soon_o they_o be_v infect_v with_o their_o disease_n but_o when_o god_n have_v pull_v they_o out_o of_o that_o hell_n of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v so_o full_o stuff_v with_o all_o such_o abomination_n &_o bring_v they_o into_o the_o wilderness_n where_o they_o be_v alone_o &_o no_o people_n else_o to_o provoke_v they_o to_o it_o yet_o when_o moses_n that_o restrain_v they_o be_v away_o but_o forty_o day_n than_o they_o take_v liberty_n and_o the_o lust_n that_o have_v be_v smother_v by_o his_o

when_o david_n &_o solomon_n have_v reign_v one_o will_v have_v think_v that_o in_o that_o space_n all_o relic_n and_o remembrance_n of_o idolatry_n have_v be_v quite_o banish_v &_o sweep_v away_o so_o that_o no_o man_n shall_v ever_o have_v persuade_v they_o to_o fall_v to_o worship_v calf_n again_o but_o no_o soon_o have_v jeroboam_fw-la part_v with_o the_o house_n of_o david_n and_o set_v up_o two_o calf_n but_o without_o any_o stay_n the_o whole_a ten_o tribe_n general_o become_v worshipper_n of_o calf_n so_o that_o the_o two_o calf_n which_o he_o set_v up_o can_v do_v more_o harm_n
