marca_n have_v be_v force_v to_o acknowledge_v this_o be_v what_o i_o think_v may_v be_v observe_v concern_v this_o gothick_n liturgy_n which_o be_v use_v among_o the_o visigoths_a and_o which_o

of_o make_v they_o more_o uniform_a with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n gregory_n vii_o the_o undertake_v to_o suppress_v the_o gothick_n liturgy_n which_o be_v not_o less_o but_o rather_o more_o

only_o consider_v careful_o the_o position_n of_o charlemagne_n against_o several_a opinion_n which_o have_v since_o prevail_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n 1._o in_o his_o preface_n he_o express_o reject_v tradition_n when_o he_o say_v that_o as_o for_o themselves_o they_o be_v content_a with_o prophetical_a evangelical_n and_o apostolic_a write_n 84._o 2._o he_o maintain_v that_o we_o be_v

of_o opposition_n to_o translation_n and_o the_o vulgar_a latin_a in_o particular_a 3._o he_o lay_v it_o down_o for_o a_o rule_n that_o god_n alone_o be_v the_o lawful_a object_n of_o religious_a worship_n 32._o it_o be_v no_o small_a error_n to_o serve_v any_o thing_n with_o religious_a worship_n beside_o he_o who_o say_v thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o he_o only_o shall_v thou_o serve_v and_o he_o repeat_v this_o afterward_o neither_o do_v we_o read_v that_o any_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v beside_o god_n 184._o because_o it_o be_v write_v thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o he_o only_o shall_v thou_o serve_v 4._o will_v we_o know_v his_o opinion_n concern_v the_o worship_n which_o at_o this_o day_n be_v give_v to_o angel_n and_o saint_n we_o may_v find_v it_o lib._n 1._o cap._n 9_o p._n 69._o moreover_o say_v he_o for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o see_v that_o john_n in_o the_o revelation_n be_v restrain_v by_o the_o angel_n from_o worship_v he_o and_o that_o peter_n the_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n forbid_v the_o worship_n of_o the_o centurion_n and_o that_o the_o choose_a vessel_n together_o with_o barnabas_n with_o a_o strong_a opposition_n reject_v the_o adoration_n of_o the_o lycaonian_o we_o be_v without_o doubt_n to_o conclude_v from_o these_o example_n that_o adoration_n which_o only_o belong_v to_o god_n who_o alone_o be_v to_o be_v worship_v and_o alone_o to_o be_v serve_v be_v not_o to_o be_v render_v to_o any_o creature_n whatsoever_o except_o only_o by_o way_n of_o salutation_n 227._o to_o express_v our_o humility_n so_o afterward_o the_o gospel-rule_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n which_o be_v sometime_o recommend_v to_o we_o in_o the_o word_n of_o our_o lord_n himself_o and_o sometime_o by_o example_n sometime_o be_v represent_v to_o we_o by_o oracle_n either_o more_o obscure_a or_o more_o plain_a and_o open_a sometime_o be_v teach_v in_o plain_a and_o othertime_n in_o figurative_a expression_n reject_v the_o adoration_n of_o all_o other_o thing_n whatsoever_o save_v only_o the_o adoration_n whereby_o we_o mutual_o salute_v one_o another_o enjoin_v the_o adoration_n of_o god_n alone_o 228_o and_o again_o neither_o man_n nor_o angel_n be_v in_o the_o least_o to_o be_v adore_v save_v only_o by_o that_o adoration_n which_o be_v give_v to_o express_v our_o charity_n and_o as_o a_o salutation_n 5._o he_o distinguish_v very_o well_o between_o the_o honour_n we_o give_v to_o saint_n and_o that_o which_o we_o render_v to_o god_n when_o he_o say_v god_n alone_o be_v to_o be_v worship_v 218._o god_n alone_o be_v to_o be_v adore_v god_n alone_o be_v to_o be_v glorify_v of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v by_o the_o prophet_n the_o name_n of_o he_o alone_o be_v exalt_v and_o to_o the_o saint_n who_o have_v triumph_v over_o the_o devil_n do_v reign_n with_o he_o veneration_n be_v to_o be_v render_v either_o because_o they_o have_v fight_v courageous_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n or_o because_o they_o be_v know_v to_o assist_v it_o with_o their_o continual_a patronage_n and_o intercession_n so_o

that_o he_o receive_v the_o eucharist_n but_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o any_o adoration_n that_o he_o pay_v at_o his_o receive_n it_o 2._o we_o be_v to_o observe_v that_o in_o this_o
