the_o truth_n when_o it_o be_v expedient_a so_o to_o do_v augustine_n again_o and_o out_o of_o he_o the_o decree_n ecce_fw-la inquiunt_fw-la ut_fw-la dicit_fw-la propheta_fw-la recedite_fw-la &_o

do_v according_a to_o every_o man_n degree_n and_o person_n hereupon_o our_o church_n in_o hom._n 3._o against_o idol_n p._n 75._o thus_o conclude_v you_o have_v hear_v it_o evident_o prove_v in_o these_o homily_n against_o idolatry_n by_o god_n word_n the_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n ecclesiastical_a history_n reason_n &_o experience_n that_o image_n have_v be_v &_o be_v worship_v and_o so_o idolatry_n commit_v to_o they_o by_o infinite_a multitude_n to_o the_o great_a offence_n of_o god_n majesty_n and_o infinite_a danger_n of_o soul_n and_o that_o idolatry_n can_v possible_o be_v separate_v from_o image_n set_v up_o in_o church_n and_o temple_n gild_a and_o deck_v glorious_o and_o that_o therefore_o our_o image_n be_v indeed_o very_a idol_n and_o so_o all_o the_o prohibition_n law_n curse_n threaten_n of_o horrible_a plague_n aswell_o temporal_a as_o eternal_a contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n concern_v idol_n and_o the_o maker_n mainteyner_n and_o worshipper_n of_o they_o appertain_v also_o to_o our_o image_n set_v up_o in_o church_n and_o temple_n and_o to_o the_o maker_n mainteyner_n and_o worshipper_n of_o they_o and_o all_o those_o name_n of_o abomination_n which_o god_n word_n give_v to_o the_o idol_n of_o the_o gentile_n appertain_v also_o to_o our_o image_n set_v up_o in_o church_n and_o temple_n be_v idol_n like_v to_o they_o and_o have_v like_o idolatry_n commit_v to_o they_o and_o god_n own_o mouth_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n call_v they_o vanity_n lie_n deceit_n uncleanness_n filthiness_n dung_n mischief_n and_o abomination_n before_o the_o lord_n wherefore_o god_n most_o horrible_a wrath_n and_o our_o most_o dreadful_a danger_n can_v be_v avoid_v without_o the_o destruction_n and_o abolish_n of_o all_o such_o image_n and_o idol_n out_o of_o the_o church_n and_o temple_n of_o god_n which_o to_o accomplish_v god_n put_v into_o the_o mind_n of_o all_o christian_a prince_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n let_v we_o take_v heed_n and_o be_v wise_a o_o you_o belove_v of_o the_o lord_n and_o let_v we_o have_v no_o strange_a god_n etc._n etc._n so_o the_o homily_n of_o our_o church_n bishop_n jewel_n reply_v pa._n 517._o the_o best_a remedy_n in_o this_o behalf_n and_o most_o agreeable_a with_o god_n word_n be_v utter_o to_o abolish_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o ill_a so_o the_o godly_a king_n ezekias_n take_v down_o and_o brake_n in_o piece_n the_o brazen_a serpent_n notwithstanding_o moses_n himself_o by_o god_n special_a commandment_n have_v erect_v it_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v a_o express_a figure_n of_o christ_n hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n notwithstanding_o it_o have_v continue_v so_o many_o year_n notwithstanding_o god_n by_o it_o have_v wrought_v so_o many_o miracle_n so_o the_o godly_a bishop_n epiphanius_n rend_v in_o sunder_o a_o image_n paint_v in_o a_o cloth_n and_o say_v it_o be_v against_o god_n commandment_n a_o thing_n superstitious_a and_o unmeet_a for_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n notwithstanding_o it_o be_v the_o image_n of_o christ_n so_o the_o godly_a emperor_n theodosius_n make_v his_o proclamation_n over_o all_o his_o dominion_n in_o this_o sort_n signum_fw-la servatoris_fw-la nostri_fw-la quocunque_fw-la loco_fw-la reperitur_fw-la tolli_fw-la jubemus_fw-la we_o straight_o command_v that_o the_o image_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v take_v down_o in_o what_o

happen_v to_o be_v abuse_v by_o the_o people_n they_o be_v either_o notable_o alter_v or_o utter_o abolish_v neither_o do_v god_n through_o all_o his_o holy_a scripture_n any_o where_o condemn_v image-breaker_n but_o express_o and_o every_o where_o he_o condemn_v image-worshipper_n and_o image-maker_n yea_o he_o say_v they_o be_v snare_n to_o catch_v the_o ignorant_a he_o know_v the_o inclination_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v accurse_a be_v he_o that_o lead_v the_o blind_a out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o accurse_v be_v he_o that_o lay_v a_o stumble_a block_n to_o overthrow_v the_o blind_a so_o conclude_v the_o reverend_a and_o learned_a bishop_n jewel_n and_o all_o our_o church_n with_o he_o so_o all_o the_o holy_a prophet_n apostle_n martyr_n doctor_n and_o saint_n of_o god_n now_o triumphant_a in_o heaven_n who_o shall_v sit_v upon_o throne_n as_o assessor_n with_o our_o saviour_n christ_n and_o judge_v the_o world_n as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v in_o their_o book_n and_o monument_n which_o they_o have_v leave_v behind_o they_o to_o testify_v their_o mind_n do_v unanimous_o pronounce_v the_o like_a sentence_n unto_o we_o and_o if_o we_o can_v hear_v they_o speak_v in_o heaven_n we_o shall_v hear_v their_o voice_n as_o loud_o as_o thunder_n or_o trumpet_n proclaim_v that_o we_o must_v not_o imagine_v that_o they_o will_v speak_v otherwise_o in_o heaven_n than_o they_o do_v upon_o earth_n let_v i_o therefore_o conclude_v with_o that_o holy_a doctor_n s._n augustine_n and_o that_o most_o bless_a apostle_n s._n
