The second kind of honour is divine or religious worship, when we give such honour to another, that thereby we do ascribe divinity & divine power unto it, acknowledging thereby that it is some divine thing above ⟨p. 116⟩all creatures. And this we do first, when we ascribe the godhead to it, and make it God: secondly, when we ascribe Gods attributes to it, as omnipotency, providence, &c. thirdly, when we acknowledge it to be the creator and maker of all things: fourthly, when we acknowledge it to be the giver of those good things we enjoy, and the defender of us from evil.
The second kind of honour is diuine or religious worship, when we giue such honor to another, that thereby we do ascribe diuinitie & diuine power vnto it, acknowledging thereby that it is some diuine thing aboue ⟨p. 116⟩all creatures. And this we do first, when we ascribe the godhead to it, and make it God: secondly, when we ascribe Gods attributes to it, as omnipotencie, prouidence, &c. thirdly, whē we acknowledge it to be the creator and maker of all things: fourthly, when we acknowledge it to be the giuer of those good things we enioy, and the defender of vs from euill.
This divine worship is either inward in the heart, or outward in the body. Inward divine worship is when a man gives his heart to any thing, by believing in it, by loving of it, and rejoicing in it above all other creatures; and that because it hath in it the god-head, or divine nature, or is God, because it hath the attributes of God, because it is the Creator and defender of all things, or else because it gives us all good things, and keepeth us from all evil.
This diuine worship is either inward in the heart, or outward in the body. Inward diuine worship is whē a man giues his heart to any thing, by beleeuing in it, by louing of it, and reioycing in it aboue all other creatures; and that because it hath in it the god-head, or diuine nature, or is God, because it hath the attributes of God, because it is the Creator and defender of all things, or else because it giues vs all good things, and keepeth vs from all euill.
