that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o in_o any_o the_o least_o measure_n for_o a_o image-worship_n as_o this_o discourser_n have_v the_o confidence_n to_o affirm_v pag._n 20._o and_o that_o in_o the_o account_n i_o send_v you_o i_o have_v not_o abuse_v my_o own_o church_n nor_o expose_v i_o own_o church_n nor_o injure_v my_o mother_n or_o any_o of_o my_o mother_n son_n which_o be_v the_o

vindication_n whereas_o i_o tell_v you_o 1._o that_o the_o first_o make_v of_o picture_n proceed_v partly_o from_o heretic_n the_o gnostic_n 2._o that_o it_o come_v chief_o from_o the_o fond_a

disgrace_v she_o who_o as_o he_o suppose_v be_v for_o picture_n and_o so_o by_o the_o consequence_n of_o my_o discourse_n must_v be_v for_o that_o which_o come_v from_o heretic_n and_o heathen_n that_o which_o be_v not_o primitive_a that_o which_o be_v repugnant_a to_o canon_n nay_o indeed_o that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o bible_n this_o be_v his_o charge_n against_o i_o pag._n 9_o &_o 10._o to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o what_o he_o suppose_v he_o have_v not_o prove_v nor_o be_v it_o true_a that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v fond_a of_o picture_n in_o church_n the_o contrary_n i_o be_o sure_a do_v plain_o appear_v nor_o have_v she_o allow_v of_o they_o as_o far_o as_o i_o know_v by_o any_o public_a act_n of_o she_o since_o the_o reformation_n second_o by_o look_v over_o the_o homily_n i_o mention_v against_o peril_n of_o idolatry_n by_o good_a luck_n i_o find_v those_o very_a particular_a argument_n which_o this_o discourser_n cavil_v at_o to_o be_v use_v and_o urge_v by_o our_o church_n herself_o the_o first_o pag._n 135_o and_o 137_o of_o the_o late_a oxford_n edition_n the_o second_o she_o allege_v at_o large_a pag._n 120._o the_o three_o she_o show_v at_o large_a throughout_o the_o second_o part_n of_o that_o homily_n the_o four_o she_o cite_v on_o her_o side_n pag._n 128._o and_o the_o five_o she_o urge_v and_o make_v a_o large_a use_n of_o pag._n 116_o 117._o so_o that_o if_o my_o angry_a adversary_n think_v fit_a to_o strike_v the_o second_o time_n he_o may_v think_v it_o reasonable_a for_o he_o to_o turn_v his_o hand_n from_o i_o upon_o our_o church_n who_o say_v the_o same_o thing_n let_v he_o strike_v at_o she_o if_o he_o please_v though_o i_o can_v tell_v he_o beforehand_o that_o such_o blow_n as_o his_o will_v do_v our_o church_n no_o harm_n let_v he_o do_v his_o worst_a for_o several_a leaf_n next_o follow_v he_o say_v nothing_o but_o what_o i_o have_v already_o consider_v but_o then_o pag._n 20._o he_o charge_v i_o for_o manage_v the_o controversy_n with_o the_o papist_n without_o ever_n state_v the_o question_n or_o declare_v what_o the_o papist_n hold_v unbecoming_a a_o scholar_n but_o he_o shall_v have_v consider_v that_o my_o business_n be_v not_o to_o enter_v into_o a_o casuistical_a dispute_n about_o the_o lawfulness_n or_o vnlawfulness_n of_o image-worship_n but_o to_o give_v a_o historical_a account_n of_o matter_n of_o fact_n upon_o a_o question_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o innovation_n or_o no_o and_o this_o be_v fair_o state_v nay_o as_o far_o as_o i_o perceive_v by_o my_o adversary_n invincible_o decide_v and_o i_o shall_v have_v thank_v he_o if_o instead_o of_o give_v i_o scold_v word_n and_o run_v off_o from_o the_o point_n he_o have_v fair_o consider_v and_o answer_v what_o i_o have_v write_v like_o a_o scholar_n and_o a_o ingenuous_a man_n that_o be_v not_o apt_a to_o be_v angry_a with_o any_o one_o for_o use_v book_n in_o the_o next_o page_n he_o ask_v i_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o protestant_n and_o catholic_n as_o he_o call_v they_o to_o have_v a_o interior_a respect_n honour_n and_o reverence_n for_o holy_a image_n how_o come_v it_o to_o be_v so_o unlawful_a and_o abominable_a for_o catholic_n to_o signify_v and_o express_v outward_o this_o same_o respect_n honour_n and_o reverence_n which_o be_v so_o commendable_a for_o all_o christian_n to_o have_v inward_o in_o their_o soul_n certain_o that_o honour_n and_o reverence_n which_o in_o the_o heart_n be_v christian_n can_v but_o be_v christian_a in_o the_o expression_n and_o it_o be_v very_o absurd_a to_o think_v a_o duty_n can_v become_v idolatry_n by_o profess_v it_o as_o to_o this_o 1._o i_o first_o observe_v a_o strange_a sort_n of_o climax_n for_o first_o he_o express_v it_o be_v lawful_a to_o have_v a_o interior_a respect_n for_o image_n then_o he_o grow_v a_o little_a and_o call_v it_o a_o commendable_a thing_n and_o at_o last_o he_o call_v it_o a_o duty_n whereas_o if_o we_o consider_v what_o he_o mean_v by_o respect_n honour_n and_o reverence_n it_o be_v neither_o duty_n nor_o commendable_a nor_o lawful_a as_o the_o case_n may_v stand_v to_o have_v it_o for_o picture_n and_o image_n nor_o a_o christian_a thing_n either_o in_o the_o heart_n or_o in_o the_o expression_n but_o second_o as_o to_o the_o point_n itself_o i_o must_v ingenuous_o and_o plain_o tell_v he_o that_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v what_o substantial_a and_o solid_a ground_n any_o man_n have_v to_o have_v a_o interior_a respect_n honour_n and_o reverence_n for_o picture_n as_o picture_n and_o as_o distinct_a thing_n from_o other_o furniture_n and_o garniture_n of_o a_o church_n where_o they_o be_v i_o be_o very_o confident_a that_o the_o ancient_a christian_n have_v no_o such_o interior_a respect_n but_o hatred_n rather_o and_o that_o not_o so_o much_o upon_o prudential_n consideration_n but_o upon_o necessary_a reason_n because_o such_o respect_n be_v think_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o god_n law._n 2._o but_o then_o if_o weak_a people_n will_v so_o far_o comply_v with_o their_o own_o nature_n as_o to_o suffer_v their_o affection_n to_o run_v out_o after_o these_o thing_n do_v it_o follow_v that_o they_o may_v express_v their_o affection_n as_o they_o please_v if_o the_o divine_a law_n require_v i_o not_o to_o bow_v down_o to_o a_o image_n or_o if_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o thing_n require_v i_o not_o to_o bow_v because_o such_o religious_a bowing_n be_v a_o token_n of_o my_o absolute_a subjection_n which_o be_v due_a to_o god_n alone_o be_o i_o not_o bind_v to_o think_v myself_o abridge_v of_o this_o my_o fond_o desire_a liberty_n i_o will_v put_v two_o case_n which_o be_v somewhat_o like_o the_o case_n my_o adversary_n put_v pag._n 14._o suppose_v i_o have_v a_o reverence_n and_o affection_n for_o the_o pope_n nuncio_n which_o i_o declare_v i_o have_v not_o will_v it_o be_v lawful_a for_o i_o in_o the_o construction_n of_o our_o law_n to_o kiss_v his_o hand_n upon_o my_o knee_n to_o serve_v he_o upon_o my_o knee_n to_o crave_v audience_n of_o he_o and_o to_o show_v he_o all_o the_o very_a same_o respect_n which_o i_o owe_v my_o natural_a prince_n will_v not_o this_o look_n like_o a_o breach_n of_o that_o allegiance_n which_o be_v due_a to_o the_o father_n of_o my_o country_n certain_o no_o judge_n ought_v to_o excuse_v my_o sin_n for_o be_v so_o disloyal_a nor_o will_v any_o prince_n pass_v i_o by_o uncensured_a for_o acknowledge_v a_o rival_n in_o his_o country_n or_o suppose_v my_o adversary_n be_v a_o marry_a man_n
