if_o such_o honour_n and_o worship_n be_v give_v to_o the_o paper_n and_o print_n of_o the_o bible_n as_o they_o give_v to_o image_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v think_v high_o offensive_a to_o god_n beside_o he_o that_o shall_v look_v upon_o this_o as_o conclusive_a that_o we_o may_v as_o well_o use_v these_o in_o god_n service_n as_o the_o writing_n of_o scripture_n may_v conclude_v by_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v as_o lawful_a for_o the_o jew_n to_o make_v image_n and_o set_v they_o up_o in_o their_o temple_n for_o god_n worship_n as_o to_o use_v the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n and_o prophet_n therein_o but_o why_o say_v he_o shall_v you_o be_v more_o scrupulous_a of_o make_v your_o prayer_n to_o christ_n before_o a_o image_n than_o before_o a_o

give_v no_o more_o respect_n to_o these_o than_o to_o the_o wall_n or_o pillar_n we_o kneel_v by_o but_o this_o i_o believe_v he_o dare_v not_o affirm_v in_o behalf_n of_o his_o church_n he_o further_o tell_v we_o it_o be_v superstition_n to_o fear_v that_o our_o devotion_n shall_v terminate_v in_o the_o image_n when_o we_o direct_v they_o to_o christ._n now_o i_o will_v willing_o know_v what_o it_o will_v terminate_v in_o if_o christ_n shall_v refuse_v to_o accept_v it_o and_o whether_o he_o can_v secure_v we_o that_o a_o intention_n to_o do_v this_o or_o that_o in_o honour_n to_o

be_v that_o he_o shall_v have_v the_o face_n to_o call_v it_o superstition_n for_o we_o to_o fear_v lest_o in_o honour_v image_n we_o shall_v have_v our_o heart_n draw_v from_o honour_v christ_n and_o fix_v they_o upon_o these_o he_o may_v as_o well_o have_v call_v it_o folly_n in_o god_n almighty_a to_o suffer_v image-worship_n to_o be_v the_o provocation_n of_o his_o jealousy_n for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o we_o to_o fear_v its_o draw_v off_o our_o heart_n from_o god_n there_o can_v be_v none_o for_o god_n to_o be_v jealous_a of_o we_o upon_o that_o score_n there_o will_v be_v some_o reason_n for_o his_o limit_v the_o commandment_n that_o forbid_v to_o make_v or_o bow_v down_o to_o image_n only_o to_o the_o do_v this_o in_o the_o spirit_n of_o pagan_n believe_v they_o

bear_v above_o the_o common_a error_n of_o mankind_n and_o declare_v that_o they_o do_v not_o worship_v the_o image_n but_o use_v they_o only_o to_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o god_n do_v indeed_o notwithstanding_o their_o declaration_n to_o the_o contrary_a put_v their_o trust_n in_o the_o image_n themselves_o but_o till_o then_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o the_o scripture_n call_v the_o pagan_n worshipper_n of_o stock_n and_o stone_n though_o they_o declare_v otherwise_o of_o themselves_o we_o can_v account_v those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o little_o better_a whilst_o some_o of_o less_o understanding_n have_v be_v know_v to_o place_v a_o trust_n and_o confidence_n in_o the_o image_n they_o use_v and_o the_o more_o intelligent_a though_o profess_v

in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o have_v before_o observe_v that_o it_o be_v the_o multitude_n of_o they_o that_o make_v they_o so_o dangerous_a because_o they_o be_v hereby_o apt_a to_o take_v up_o the_o great_a part_n of_o religion_n and_o draw_v man_n off_o from_o the_o spiritual_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o those_o that_o spend_v too_o great_a a_o zeal_n upon_o they_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o all_o the_o service_n they_o need_v pay_v to_o god_n and_o thereupon_o neglect_v the_o principal_a duty_n of_o religion_n whereas_o he_o will_v have_v it_o a_o calumny_n

the_o pastor_n explain_v to_o they_o some_o part_n of_o the_o mystery_n this_o very_a reason_n prove_v that_o the_o whole_a service_n of_o god_n ought_v to_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o vulgar_a
