moses_n thus_o 25.18_o exod._n 25.18_o and_o thou_o shall_v make_v two_o cherubim_n of_o gold_n of_o beat_a work_n shall_v thou_o make_v they_o in_o the_o two_o end_n of_o the_o mercy_n seat_n it_o

case_n to_o the_o second_o i_o grant_v that_o hezekiah_n break_v the_o brazen_a serpent_n image_n therefore_o must_v the_o image_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o saint_n be_v break_v i_o deny_v it_o

to_o be_v a_o occasion_n of_o idolatry_n and_o they_o burn_v incense_n to_o it_o so_o than_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v break_v but_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o saint_n can_v be_v occasion_n of_o that_o among_o christian_n for_o we_o retain_v the_o use_n of_o image_n only_o as_o they_o be_v the_o representation_n of_o he_o from_o who_o we_o have_v receive_v so_o great_a benefit_n and_o of_o those_o his_o bless_a servant_n who_o be_v to_o be_v our_o example_n to_o the_o three_o i_o grant_v to_o you_o that_o god_n be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n which_o that_o we_o may_v do_v the_o better_o we_o make_v use_v of_o image_n for_o they_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o our_o duty_n and_o call_v we_o to_o a_o remembrance_n of_o those_o benefit_n we_o have_v receive_v which_o can_v but_o inspire_v a_o devotion_n into_o a_o heart_n of_o stone_n and_o why_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v or_o wherein_o a_o spiritual_a worship_n shall_v be_v at_o all_o hinder_v by_o the_o sight_n of_o a_o image_n more_o than_o the_o operation_n of_o sacrament_n be_v take_v off_o by_o the_o sensible_a sign_n whereunder_o they_o lie_v and_o as_o under_o those_o visible_a sign_n we_o receive_v a_o invisible_a grace_n so_o be_v we_o lead_v by_o the_o visible_a image_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o saint_n to_o the_o true_a and_o spiritual_a worship_n of_o those_o thing_n invisible_a of_o which_o they_o be_v but_o the_o representation_n to_o the_o four_o i_o say_v there_o can_v be_v no_o danger_n at_o all_o of_o idolatry_n among_o christian_n for_o there_o be_v none_o so_o simple_a but_o know_v that_o the_o veneration_n that_o be_v use_v refer_v not_o at_o all_o to_o the_o image_n of_o wood_n stone_z or_o brass_n but_o to_o the_o prototype_n or_o person_n represent_v and_o that_o be_v enough_o to_o rectify_v their_o intention_n then_o for_o the_o danger_n of_o unclean_a thought_n there_o be_v care_n sufficient_o take_v by_o the_o church_n to_o inhibit_v painter_n and_o carver_n all_o manner_n of_o laciviousness_n or_o probable_a disposition_n towards_o it_o then_o as_o to_o your_o argument_n that_o you_o think_v be_v so_o strange_a and_o in_o your_o opinion_n carry_v horn_n with_o it_o you_o will_v find_v upon_o better_a examination_n that_o they_o be_v but_o a_o pair_n of_o ear_n you_o say_v either_o image_n be_v command_v or_o they_o be_v not_o if_o they_o be_v than_o we_o be_v to_o show_v it_o in_o scripture_n if_o they_o be_v not_o than_o you_o say_v it_o must_v follow_v that_o it_o must_v be_v a_o will_v worship_v or_o idolatry_n i_o answer_v some_o thing_n be_v command_v in_o scripture_n and_o yet_o not_o to_o be_v observe_v as_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n holy_a or_o sanctify_v it_o as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v as_o also_o the_o forbear_n of_o thing_n strangle_v and_o of_o blood_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v enough_o to_o satisfy_v any_o reasonable_a christian_a that_o the_o church_n have_v appoint_v image_n to_o be_v set_v up_o for_o the_o use_n of_o christian_n as_o i_o say_v for_o profitable_a and_o almost_o necessary_a expedient_n to_o their_o devotion_n so_o i_o return_v your_o horn_a argument_n upon_o yourself_o thus_o either_o to_o sanctify_v or_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n day_n that_o be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v command_v or_o it_o be_v not_o if_o it_o be_v let_v scripture_n be_v show_v for_o it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o than_o it_o be_v will_v worship_v a_o fond_a and_o a_o vain_a thing_n to_o do_v it_o and_o that_o i_o be_o sure_a none_o of_o your_o church_n will_v ever_o yield_v to_o that_o the_o use_n of_o image_n be_v lawful_a and_o profitable_a in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n i_o prove_v by_o scripture_n thus_o i_o must_v confess_v we_o have_v nothing_o express_v in_o the_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o it_o and_o the_o reason_n i_o conceive_v be_v the_o fierceness_n of_o the_o primitive_a persecution_n which_o will_v hardly_o permit_v the_o person_n of_o christian_n to_o meet_v much_o less_o to_o adorn_v their_o meeting_n place_n with_o image_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o and_o yet_o we_o have_v it_o by_o universal_a tradition_n that_o the_o use_n of_o image_n be_v apostolical_a and_o that_o we_o have_v our_o authority_n for_o the_o use_n of_o they_o from_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o then_o we_o have_v in_o our_o ecclesiastical_a history_n as_o how_o our_o saviour_n send_v his_o picture_n to_o abagarus_n king_n of_o the_o edessen_v which_o be_v yet_o as_o i_o be_o inform_v preserve_v and_o to_o be_v see_v at_o genoa_n then_o we_o have_v again_o in_o the_o same_o story_n that_o our_o saviour_n himself_o impress_v the_o picture_n of_o his_o countenance_n upon_o a_o piece_n of_o linen_n cloth_n which_o he_o give_v to_o veronica_n by_o the_o virtue_n of_o which_o picture_n the_o emperor_n tiberius_n be_v recover_v from_o a_o dangerous_a disease_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n cesar_n will_v have_v decree_v to_o christ_n divine_a honour_n then_o again_o we_o have_v in_o history_n and_o clear_a tradition_n that_o s._n luke_n the_o evangelist_n do_v draw_v the_o picture_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n which_o be_v for_o many_o age_n preserve_v in_o great_a veneration_n and_o to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o painter_n 22_o mark_v 22_o carver_n or_o engraver_n in_o that_o age_n be_v most_o extreme_o false_a for_o we_o find_v our_o saviour_n ask_v in_o the_o gospel_n who_o image_n and_o superscription_n be_v this_o but_o all_o this_o i_o must_v pass_v by_o because_o we_o have_v resolve_v to_o insist_v only_o upon_o scripture_n and_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n we_o find_v enough_o first_o we_o find_v in_o exodus_fw-la as_o a_o foresay_a 25.18_o exod._n 25.18_o and_o thou_o shall_v make_v two_o cherubim_n of_o gold_n of_o beat_a work_n shall_v thou_o make_v they_o in_o the_o two_o end_n of_o the_o mercy-seat_n 21.8_o numb_a 21.8_o then_o we_o find_v the_o lord_n say_v to_o moses_n make_v thou_o a_o fiery_a serpent_n and_o set_v it_o upon_o a_o pole_n and_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o every_o one_o that_o be_v bite_v when_o he_o look_v upon_o it_o be_v shall_v live_v and_o moses_n do_v so_o and_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a cure_n to_o they_o now_o this_o brazen_a serpent_n be_v the_o figure_n or_o type_n of_o christ_n hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n for_o as_o they_o that_o be_v bite_v by_o the_o fiery_a serpent_n be_v cure_v by_o look_v upon_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n so_o all_o they_o that_o be_v bite_v by_o the_o devil_n be_v cure_v by_o a_o faithful_a look_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n crucify_a as_o we_o find_v in_o the_o gospel_n of_o s._n john_n from_o whence_o i_o think_v i_o may_v conclude_v the_o figure_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v of_o less_o value_n than_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v figure_v as_o moses_n who_o be_v likewise_o the_o figure_n of_o christ_n be_v of_o much_o less_o value_n than_o christ_n himself_o the_o paschal_n lamb_n less_o to_o be_v esteem_v then_o our_o eucharist_n and_o circumcision_n than_o baptism_n if_o then_o the_o image_n of_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n be_v honour_v as_o we_o know_v it_o be_v how_o much_o more_o ought_v the_o image_n of_o christ_n be_v honour_v nay_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o serpent_n have_v not_o be_v honour_v at_o all_o but_o as_o it_o be_v the_o figure_n or_o shadow_n of_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n nor_o have_v it_o cure_v those_o that_o be_v bite_v by_o the_o fiery_a serpent_n but_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n who_o cure_v still_o
6.6_o micah_n 6.6_o by_o pretend_a good_a work_n in_o this_o pathetical_a expostulation_n wherewith_o shall_v i_o come_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o bow_v myself_o before_o the_o high_a god_n shall_v

follow_v necessary_o that_o the_o other_o member_n must_v be_v leave_v destitute_a of_o spirit_n and_o be_v render_v incapable_a of_o perform_v their_o office_n but_o be_v open_a all_o will_v be_v

by_o way_n of_o dependency_n upon_o the_o pope_n who_o be_v as_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o from_o council_n which_o be_v safe_a and_o secure_a from_o all_o danger_n of_o error_n and_o
