Reason and Argument than these Papists have done Truth will Conquer The Romish Church likewise obliges all those in its Communion to Worship Images the Idolatrous practice of the Heathen World and that with the same worship which is given to him whose Image it is and that I think is far enough so that the Worship may be terminated in the Image If this be not Idolatry I know not what can be such And yet that nothing might be wanting in their Worship to make up the measure of iniquity They deny That God alone is to be worshipped I suppose they mean he must have sharers with him in that Honour for otherwise it cannot be sence I am sure however it is Blasphemy Image Worship is Contrary to Scripture Exod 20. 4 5. Hence do the Papists often leave the Second Commandment out of their Catechisms as in Vaux's Catechism Ledesma's Catechism Officium B. Mariae Pii 5. Pont. jussu editum Antwerp A. D. 1590.

Imagines adorare omnibus modis devita Moreover the Church of Rome would oblige us to adore the Consecrated Host or Bread in the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper and with the same Worship which is due to the true God Which by the Confession of some of their Learned Men is an Idolatry if Transubstantiation cannot be made out which if it can we ought no more to believe our own Eyes more stupid than the sottish Heathens were guilty of Though this practice is so far from being Ancient That elevation of the Host accompanied with the ringing of a Bell at the consecration thereof that all who heard it might kneel and joyn their hands in adoring the Host was instituted but about An. Dom. 1240. The Fathers were so far from worshipping the Host that some of them are sharp in reproving those who reserved the Reliques of it as appears by Clement's Epistle to S. Iames Origen in Levit. Hom. 5. and by the 11th Council at Toledo c. 14. And in Ierusalem they us'd to burn the remainders thereof Hesychius in Levit. l. 2. c. 8.

Imag. Quantum veteris initio Ecclesiae ab omni imaginum adoratione abhorruêrunt declarat unus Origenes And That for the first four Ages after Christ there was little or no use of Images in the Temples or Oratories of the Christians is Confess'd By Petavius Dogmat.

OUR Church contends for and embraces that faith which was once delivered to the Saints and admits and professes that same which all true Christians have made the badge of their Holy Profession which is briefly comprehended in the Apostles Creed and explain'd in those others call'd the Nicene and Athanasian which may be prov'd by the Scriptures and have been approved by the Universal Church by the Decrees of the first General Councils and Writings of the Fathers The Popish Church especially that part of it which is called the Court of Rome obtrudes and imposes new Articles of Faith making the Bishop of Rome the Infallible Judge and Arbitrator of all Doctrines enjoyning an implicit faith and blind obedience to his Dictates wherein we must renounce our very Reason so that if he call that white which we see to be black we are to say so since he hath as they say the power of making new Creeds Contrary to Scripture Gal. 1. 8 9.
