certain_a objection_n of_o the_o papist_n 1_o we_o worship_v not_o the_o jmage_n but_o god_n of_o who_o those_o be_v sign_n and_o token_n wherefore_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o image_n shall_v be_v abolish_v and_o take_v out_o of_o church_n answer_n it_o be_v impiety_n to_o place_n and_o ordain_v such_o sign_n as_o whereby_o god_n neither_o can_v be_v true_o signify_v neither_o at_o all_o aught_o to_o be_v signify_v and_o albeit_o they_o be_v such_o sign_n as_o whereby_o god_n may_v be_v true_o signify_v yet_o be_v it_o not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o any_o creature_n to_o ordain_v or_o

because_o they_o swerve_v so_o far_o and_o carry_v we_o with_o they_o from_o god_n at_o their_o figure_n and_o shape_n be_v unlike_a god_n &_o so_o consequent_o they_o cause_v we_o also_o to_o lie_v of_o god_n if_o then_o we_o will_v not_o lie_v of_o god_n we_o must_v needs_o neither_o make_v nor_o have_v any_o image_n or_o grave_a semblance_n for_o as_o jeremie_n say_v 10.8_o the_o stock_n be_v
