because_o as_o they_o say_v they_o worship_v not_o the_o image_n but_o god_n by_o it_o three_o because_o as_o they_o also_o say_v they_o receive_v the_o same_o manner_n of_o worship_v page_n see_v

by_o this_o first_o illusion_n that_o god_n in_o his_o just_a judgement_n have_v give_v they_o the_o spirit_n of_o slumber_a eye_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o see_v for_o notwithstanding_o their_o

of_o these_o worship_v their_o image_n for_o god_n but_o all_o of_o they_o acknowledge_v the_o true_a god_n last_o we_o answer_v they_o by_o the_o 17._o cap._n of_o the_o second_o book_n of_o king_n which_o condemn_v certain_a samaritan_n for_o idolater_n of_o who_o the_o text_n say_v they_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o serve_v their_o image_n also_o so_o that_o if_o our_o counterfeit_a catholic_n

no_o more_o take_v their_o image_n for_o god_n than_o dog_n do_v take_v paint_v fox_n and_o hare_n for_o fox_n and_o hare_n yet_o we_o see_v that_o even_o by_o their_o affect_a image_n and_o use_v they_o in_o the_o spiritual_a worship_n and_o service_n of_o god_n they_o be_v plain_o prove_v idolater_n 3_o and_o now_o whereas_o they_o say_v they_o no_o more_o take_v the_o image_n for_o god_n than_o dog_n do_v take_v paint_v fox_n and_o hare_n for_o those_o live_a creature_n that_o will_v we_o further_o try_v with_o they_o even_o by_o these_o two_o effect_n for_o whereas_o dog_n use_v neither_o to_o run_v nor_o to_o open_v their_o mouth_n upon_o those_o senseless_a picture_n they_o have_v accustomable_o use_v to_o gad_n unto_o they_o from_o town_n to_o town_n and_o from_o country_n
