A97089	A brief answer to the many calumnies of Dr. Henry More, in his pretended Antidote against idolatry. Shewing that no prudent person can, upon any rational ground, be deterr'd from returning to the communion of St. Peter's chair, by any of the doctors best and strongest evidences to the contrary.

for_o if_o devil_n appear_v and_o assist_v witch_n and_o sorcerer_n upon_o their_o invocation_n shall_v we_o deny_v this_o to_o the_o saint_n in_o glory_n the_o saint_n be_v as_o the_o angel_n of_o

the_o intention_n of_o the_o devotionist_n then_o he_o suppose_v that_o neither_o of_o these_o way_n be_v maintainable_a he_o infer_v that_o by_o no_o mean_n can_v the_o honour_n do_v to_o the_o

ipso_fw-la facto_fw-la that_o he_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v a_o rational_a agent_n and_o therefore_o the_o doctor_n be_v disjunctive_a dilemma_n be_v very_o vain_a and_o defective_a to_o the_o first_o of_o the_o four_o proof_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o honour_n do_v to_o the_o image_n may_v be_v refer_v to_o the_o prototype_n though_o there_o be_v no_o personal_a similitude_n of_o figure_n betwixt_o the_o image_n and_o the_o person_n it_o represent_v for_o beside_o the_o similitude_n of_o figure_n there_o be_v another_o similitude_n which_o the_o doctor_n if_o he_o please_v may_v call_v a_o similitude_n of_o signification_n the_o image_n signify_v the_o dignity_n quality_n or_o other_o perfection_n of_o the_o prototype_n thus_o though_o there_o be_v no_o personal_a similitude_n of_o

honour_v god_n in_o his_o image_n and_o therefore_o if_o where_o there_o be_v no_o similitude_n of_o figure_n sure_o much_o more_o where_o there_o be_v a_o specifical_a similitude_n of_o figure_n the_o honour_n do_v to_o the_o image_n may_v be_v refer_v to_o the_o prototype_n as_o it_o happen_v in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o saint_n to_o the_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o case_n the_o doctor_n put_v be_v more_o than_o possible_a for_o it_o do_v actual_o so_o fall_v out_o in_o the_o image_n of_o the_o angel_n or_o cherubim_n over_o the_o ark_n which_o if_o we_o regard_v personal_a similitude_n of_o figure_n and_o feature_n be_v more_o like_o some_o material_a and_o terrestrial_a being_n than_o those_o incorporeal_a intelligence_n and_o yet_o the_o honour_n do_v to_o they_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o prototype_n whence_o it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v the_o similitude_n of_o signification_n more_o than_o the_o similitude_n of_o figure_n and_o feature_n which_o draw_v the_o honour_n after_o it_o my_o answer_n to_o the_o three_o be_v that_o our_o image_n pretend_v not_o to_o represent_v the_o saint_n as_o devest_v of_o their_o body_n but_o only_o according_a to_o their_o former_a state_n under_o the_o church_n militant_a with_o some_o additional_a mark_n of_o a_o crown_n or_o laurel_n or_o some_o such_o significative_a representative_n of_o their_o triumphant_a state_n in_o glory_n yet_o under_o favour_n why_o may_v not_o a_o image_n be_v like_o a_o separate_a soul_n as_o well_o as_o like_v a_o angel_n or_o cherubin_n if_o any_o one_o reply_n that_o according_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o late_a revive_a platonic_a philosophy_n angel_n have_v their_o body_n and_o why_o may_v not_o those_o body_n have_v their_o image_n such_o a_o replyer_n may_v please_v to_o reflect_v that_o beside_o that_o no_o one_o ever_o yet_o get_v a_o sight_n of_o those_o angelical_a body_n more_o the_o same_o principle_n allow_v unto_o soul_n separate_v and_o discharge_v from_o these_o gross_a terrestrial_a element_n the_o like_a aerial_a or_o aetherial_a vehicles_n with_o angel_n and_o therefore_o under_o
