Because

to
so
great
uncertainty

't

I
sure
this
was
St.
Austin's
constant
Judgment
,

up

done

assign

have
those
words

Those

divide

Table
into
so
that
is
one
Commandment
;

another
.
Yet
neither
of

because
this
the
Scripture
it self

But
to
me
,
it
seems
to
divide
them

those
which
belong
to
God
seem
to
insinuate
a
of

such
as

attentively

as

is

is
indeed

to

If

then
the

is
not

into

then
Christ

so
all
the

The

St.
argued
very

that
they
do
not
know
(
nesciunt
)
that
visible
sacrifices
are
the
signs
of
the
Invisible
Sacrifices
of
the
mind
;
like
as
the
words
we
speak
are
the
signs
of
things
.
For
as
when
we
pray
or
praise
,
we
direct
the
words
to
him
,
to
whom
we
offer
in
our
hearts
the
things
themselves
,
which
we
signify
by
them
:
so
when
we
sacrifice
,
we
know
that
the
visible
Sacrifice
is
to
be
offered
to
no
other
,
but
to
Him
whose
Invisible
Sacrifice
,
we
our selves
ought

And
upon
this
account
it
is
and
no
other
,
that
the
Devils
require
sacrifice
to
be
offered
to
them
,
because
they
know
it

Mr.
Thorndike
in

shows
his
unwillingness
to
free
the
that
the
Church
of
England
having
acknowledg'd
the
Church
of
Rome
,
a
true
Church
,
though
corrupt
,
ever
since
the
Reformation
,
he
is
oblig'd
so
to
interpret
the
Prayers
thereof
,
as
to
acknowledge
the
corruption
so
great
,
that
the
Prayers
which
it
alloweth
may
be
Idolatries
,
if
they
be
made
in
that
sense
,
which
they
may
properly
signify
;
but
not
that
they
are
necessarily
Idolatries
.
For
,
if
they
were
necessarily
Idolatries
,
then
were
the
Church

necessarily
no

being
