a_o word_n a_o fine_a notion_n a_o pretty_a entertainment_n but_o no_o concern_v of_o religion_n or_o conscience_n 2._o that_o respect_n which_o be_v give_v to_o thing_n sacred_a consist_v in_o a_o decent_a regard_n of_o they_o and_o in_o use_v they_o after_o a_o different_a manner_n from_o other_o thing_n but_o worship_n be_v quite_o another_o thing_n viz._n a_o profess_v our_o subjection_n to_o the_o object_n of_o our_o adoration_n upon_o the_o score_n of_o his_o dominion_n and_o power_n over_o we_o as_o our_o superior_a and_o when_o either_o the_o nature_n of_o such_o adoration_n or_o the_o circumstance_n of_o it_o argue_v it_o to_o be_v religious_a it_o be_v then_o religious_a or_o divine_a worship_n peculiar_o belong_v to_o god_n because_o it_o be_v a_o token_n of_o our_o absolute_a subjection_n to_o he_o as_o have_v supreme_a and_o absolute_a sovereignty_n over_o all_o the_o great_a man_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v have_v this_o notion_n of_o

be_v not_o about_o word_n but_o thing_n and_o thing_n of_o very_a great_a concernment_n viz._n whether_o such_o action_n and_o gesture_n as_o be_v due_a to_o god_n and_o by_o the_o divine_a law_n be_v appropriate_v to_o god_n and_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o mankind_n be_v testification_n of_o god_n supreme_a and_o absolute_a dominion_n may_v be_v perform_v to_o and_o before_o a_o dumb_a image_n now_o this_o be_v that_o which_o we_o charge_v upon_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o there_o be_v hardly_o any_o external_a act_n of_o religious_a worship_n but_o what_o she_o perform_v to_o god_n and_o to_o image_n in_o common_a and_o that_o according_a to_o her_o doctrine_n image_n be_v true_o and_o proper_o to_o be_v worship_v with_o worship_n take_v in_o a_o strict_a sense_n and_o as_o it_o be_v distinguish_v from_o and_o signify_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o bare_a honour_n or_o respect_n or_o reverence_n for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o because_o it_o be_v a_o great_a controversy_n between_o my_o angry_a adversary_n and_o i_o i_o shall_v at_o present_a trouble_n he_o only_o with_o some_o ready_a observation_n out_o of_o my_o good_a friend_n and_o when_o he_o have_v answer_v they_o i_o promise_v faithful_o to_o furnish_v he_o with_o more_o these_o observation_n be_v 1._o concern_v the_o worship_n give_v by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o image_n in_o general_n 2._o

worship_n worship_n that_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n high_o than_o respect_n or_o reverence_n worship_n in_o a_o proper_a and_o strict_a sense_n worship_n that_o do_v consist_v not_o only_o in_o the_o external_n act_v of_o divine_a adoration_n but_o also_o in_o a_o inward_a affection_n which_o imply_v submission_n as_o cardinal_n lugo_n do_v confess_v this_o my_o learned_a author_n show_v to_o have_v be_v the_o thing_n intend_v both_o by_o the_o second_o council_n at_o nice_a and_o by_o the_o man_n at_o trent_n who_o appeal_v to_o that_o council_n that_o the_o most_o eminent_a divine_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n think_v so_o and_o according_o maintain_v it_o as_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n wherein_o all_o catholic_n agree_v that_o true_a and_o proper_a worship_n be_v to_o be_v give_v not_o only_o to_o the_o exemplar_n represent_v by_o image_n but_o also_o to_o the_o very_a image_n themselves_o as_o suarez_n bellarmine_n tannerus_n ysambertus_n and_o other_o do_v positive_o affirm_v and_o lest_o this_o shall_v be_v think_v to_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o a_o few_o private_a man_n only_o he_o further_o show_v that_o some_o great_a divine_n who_o be_v at_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n and_o can_v not_o but_o understand_v the_o sense_n of_o that_o council_n say_v the_o same_o thing_n for_o so_o dominicus_n soto_n determine_v that_o image_n be_v not_o intend_v by_o the_o church_n only_o for_o help_n to_o memory_n but_o for_o worship_n and_o whereas_o our_o discourser_n will_v make_v we_o believe_v that_o this_o worship_n be_v no_o more_o but_o that_o respect_n which_o be_v show_v to_o the_o bible_n etc._n etc._n soto_n do_v utter_o reject_v this_o for_o say_v he_o we_o do_v not_o worship_v the_o scripture_n or_o name_n of_o saint_n which_o call_v they_o to_o our_o mind_n but_o as_o to_o image_n we_o ought_v to_o think_v otherwise_o for_o they_o do_v not_o only_o raise_v our_o mind_n to_o worship_v those_o who_o be_v represent_v by_o they_o sed_fw-la easdem_fw-la ipsas_fw-la debemus_fw-la adorare_fw-la but_o we_o ought_v to_o worship_v the_o image_n themselves_o so_o likewise_o naclantus_fw-la another_o great_a man_n at_o trent_n tell_v the_o world_n that_o it_o be_v a_o needless_a caution_n for_o any_o to_o say_v that_o they_o worship_n before_o the_o image_n say_v &_o adorare_fw-la imaginem_fw-la sine_fw-la quo_fw-la volueris_fw-la scrupulo_fw-la but_o man_n may_v say_v it_o roundly_o and_o without_o any_o scruple_n that_o they_o worship_v the_o image_n with_o these_o ambrose_n catharinus_n agree_v too_o that_o true_a and_o real_a worship_n be_v require_v to_o be_v give_v to_o image_n and_o conclude_v that_o image_n be_v not_o mere_o for_o instruction_n or_o memory_n exciting_a devotion_n but_o that_o they_o be_v set_v up_o proper_o for_o worship_n therefore_o if_o any_o man_n ask_v another_o be_v image_n to_o be_v worship_v let_v he_o say_v he_o answer_v without_o any_o fear_n they_o be_v because_o image_n be_v set_v apart_o by_o the_o inspiration_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o such_o a_o sacred_a use_n do_v obtain_v such_o a_o degree_n of_o sanctification_n that_o whoever_o violate_v they_o be_v guilty_a of_o sacrilege_n and_o treason_n against_o the_o divine_a majesty_n because_o god_n himself_o be_v most_o true_o believe_v to_o be_v present_a in_o they_o after_o a_o particular_a manner_n and_o he_o show_v his_o power_n and_o presence_n by_o they_o use_v they_o often_o for_o oracle_n etc._n etc._n if_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o convince_v my_o adversary_n of_o the_o vanity_n of_o his_o pretence_n there_o be_v one_o observation_n more_o which_o deserve_v his_o consideration_n viz._n that_o whereas_o some_o of_o the_o roman_a church_n as_o durandus_fw-la holkot_n and_o other_o teach_v that_o image_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v worship_v with_o the_o same_o worship_n with_o the_o thing_n represent_v but_o be_v say_v to_o be_v worship_v improper_o and_o abusive_o because_o at_o their_o presence_n man_n do_v call_v to_o mind_v the_o object_n represent_v by_o they_o which_o be_v worship_v before_o the_o image_n but_o not_o proper_o the_o image_n themselves_o this_o opinion_n be_v look_v upon_o as_o heretical_a and_o therefore_o suarez_n and_o many_o other_o eminent_a man_n dispute_v hot_o against_o that_o opinion_n as_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o catholic_n faith_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n which_o be_v that_o a_o image_n be_v not_o only_o the_o occasion_n or_o sign_n exciting_a man_n to_o worship_v the_o thing_n represent_v but_o even_o the_o material_a object_n to_o which_o the_o act_n of_o worship_n and_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o worshipper_n be_v to_o be_v direct_v and_o carry_v and_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v worship_v with_o the_o same_o worship_n with_o the_o exemplar_n itself_o and_o certain_o ariaga_n be_v in_o the_o right_n when_o urge_v this_o to_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o church_n he_o use_v this_o strong_a argument_n to_o prove_v it_o because_o it_o be_v not_o credible_a that_o if_o this_o have_v be_v all_o the_o council_n have_v determine_v viz._n that_o image_n be_v not_o the_o object_n of_o worship_n but_o only_o the_o occasion_n and_o mean_n exciting_a man_n to_o worship_v the_o exemplar_n they_o shall_v never_o think_v of_o such_o a_o easy_a way_n to_o satisfy_v dissenter_n as_o the_o declare_v of_o this_o will_v have_v be_v but_o say_v he_o the_o controversy_n lie_v in_o another_o point_n namely_o that_o image_n do_v not_o deserve_v immediate_a worship_n and_o then_o he_o conclude_v that_o when_o the_o father_n condemn_v those_o for_o heretic_n who_o deny_v that_o worship_n they_o do_v not_o determine_v that_o image_n may_v be_v use_v as_o a_o condition_n of_o worship_n but_o that_o true_a and_o real_a worship_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o they_o 2._o concern_v that_o worship_n which_o be_v give_v to_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n in_o particular_a it_o be_v notorious_a that_o according_a to_o the_o common_a receive_v doctrine_n of_o the_o romanist_n not_o only_o inferior_a religious_a worship_n but_o that_o which_o they_o call_v latria_n mean_v supreme_a divine_a sovereign_a worship_n proper_o due_a to_o god_n
