haue the selfe and the same GOD and Saluation in Chryste Iesus as appeareth by Adam Gen. Isaac Iacob and all others Therefore Chryste sayde vnto the Iewes Abraham was gladde to see my daies hee sawe it and reioyced And Saynte Paule bryngeth the Relygion of Chryste from the promyses made to Abraham Galat. 4. And to the Hebrewes hee ioyneth the Iewe and the Christyan togeather in one promyse and felowshyppe in Chryste Heb. 11. Christe being as saith S Peter the Corner stone Irenaeus also witnesseth the same in these words Siue d●bitatione igitur c. Pet. act 2. Therefore wtout all doubt or gainsaying the Apostle witnessing the same there is one the selfe same god which iudged those things of the Hebrewes and sifteth out the thinges of the Christians that now are Thys also affyrmeth Origen Origen hom en Esay 6. Eusebius also Augustine agree in the same In outward things in deede as Polityque gouernment Ceremonyes Eus hist eccl lib. 1. Ceremonyal Lawes and the outward partes of the Sacrament Aug. sup Ioh. hom 2● there is greate dyfference but in signification grace substance of Religyon Morrall preceptes and commaundeth there is no difference otherwise Christ Iesus S. Paule and the other Apostles had expounded and applied them vnto Christians in vayne then there being no difference in these respectes betweene the Iewes Christians when we see the Appostles apply the name Idole and the hauing or making of Images with the detestation as well vnto the Iew as vnto the Gentile Ier. 2. we maye well see and perceiue that the like application belongeth vnto vs. This shall you see in Ieremy Ezech. 16. Ezechiell Esay and S Paule and many other places It is lewde and wicked therefore to denye the application of the scripture by condemning the Idolatrie of the Iew and Gentiles vnto or agaynste the imagery of Christians in Religion Rom. 1. 2. Cor. 6. Now concerning the abusing of these wordes of S. Paule Scimus quod idolum nihil est in mundo 1. Cor. 8.2 Wee know that an Idole or Image is nothing in the World Whereby he denieth not the being of Idoles or Images in substance and fourm but in vse qualitie and power 1. Cor. 8. ver 4.5 and thereto hee addeth and that there is no other GOD but one for although there bee that are called Gods in Heauen and in earth as there bee manye Gods and manye Lordes yet vnto vs is oure GOD the Father of whome are all thinges and wee in him And our Lorde Iesus Christe by whome are all thinges and wee by him Esay 44. Rom. 1. The Gentiles and Idolaters pretended the representation of GOD who is incomprehensible by an Image made by man which cannot be and therefore to this ende or vse there is no Idole or Image they also pretended by theyr Imagerye manye and dyuerse Goddes whiche is also false and is not as Saynt Paule sayth They also pretended power vnto they re Idoles and that the thinges offered in the presence of their Images were sanctised and dedicated vnto GOD whiche is also false for Saynte Paule sayth Suche Offeringes are the Offeringes and Cuppe of Deuils and thus you maye see Saynte Paule denyeth not the being and forme of Idoles but the vse qualitye and power vnto them ascrybed by menne and vsing the wordes of Esaye who sayeth an Idole or Image is nothing it is vayn and vanitie it selfe Esay 44. Habac. 3. Habacuc sayeth They are Mendacia Leasinges Thus yee also see that the abusing of these wordes of Saynte Paule is as lewde and wicked And where Saynte Augustine is pretended to allowe of Images and the Matter of them to stande where they maye doe some good De verb. dom sup Math Serm. 6. as though this Father thoughte they mighte doe good heere is the Booke from whence that was pretended the place is cleane contrarye In his Sermon vppon the eyghth of Mathewe hee greatelye enueigheth agaynste Idoles saying they call vs the Enimyes of they re Idoles so God graunte and bring them into our power that they maye be broken as the reste are but this I warne you when they are not in your iurisdiction you doe it not for it is the propertie of euill menne and furious Circumcillions where they haue no iurisdiction to aduenture vppon them and desyre theyr owne Death they make vnprofytable haste You all that were latelye presente hearde what was reade When the Lande is gyuen you in possessyon Fyrste hee sayeth in possessyon and then hee telleth what you shall doe You shall breake downe they re Alters hewe downe their Groues and ouerthrowe they re Monumentes when you haue authoritie this shal you do where we haue no autority we do it not but where we haue authoritie we leaue it not vndone There be many pagans among vs that haue these abhommacions within their possessions what shall wee goe and breake them No lette vs remooue them fyrst out of their hartes and when they beecome Christians they will eyther desire vs to breake them or preuent vs in breaking them themselues And in the ende of that Sermon he sayth Wee preache agaynste Idoles and Images wee plucke them foorth of mens heartes wee are the persecutoures of Idoles we confesse it What are wee the reseruers of Idoles in deede I brake them not where wee cannot I doe it not where the Owner of the possession complayneth but where the Owner will haue it done I doe it with thankes and if I shall not doe it I am guiltie Thus far Augustine who is so far from bearing with imagery that he professeth him selfe a sharpe persecutour of Imagerye howe skylfullye and howe trulye yea how wyselye thys place of Augustine was aleaged for defence of the Roodeloft iudge you except the aleagers wyll affyrme this rood lofte to bee exempted from the Prynces iurisdictyon that hath accordyng to the wordes of God commaunded the ouerthrowe of all suche monumentes Nowe because I haue Augustine in myne handes and that openlye in the Churche and manye of you present it was boldelye and rashlye sayde Rom. 1. that there was as muche dyfference beetween the Sacramentes of cyrcumsition and baptisme as between a newe coate and an olde Collo 2.
