Again I enquire what those words mean: The same Ceremony which is in present use sacred, may be forth with by the change of the object become civill: ¹The people bowing down worshipped God and the King, the Ceremony was materially the same, but objectively different. These expressions need a comment: If by materially the same, he mean the natural action is the same, its true, but that is nothing to this purpose. Let him tell us, whether there is a peculiar specification of those actions in themselves, before they ⟨p. 63⟩come at the object: Since the object supposeth the being of the thing in its kind, before it can be an adjunct to it: If there be the same specific and formal nature of the action, then that bowing being civill when it is performed to a man, why might not John have tendered the like to an Angel, and the angel received it, in that he might have done it, as to a fellow servant of higher honour and account, and the angel needed to have feared religious worship, for he being known once to be a creature, the change of the object would have altered the worship: But the angel it seems was of another opinion, then the Rej. and conceived that it was religious worship before it came to him, and would not have been civill worship if the object had been changed.
