the_o truth_n when_o it_o be_v expedient_a so_o to_o do_v augustine_n again_o and_o out_o of_o he_o the_o decree_n ecce_fw-la inquiunt_fw-la ut_fw-la dicit_fw-la propheta_fw-la recedite_fw-la &_o

these_o homily_n against_o idolatry_n by_o god_n word_n the_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n ecclesiastical_a history_n reason_n &_o experience_n that_o image_n have_v be_v &_o be_v worship_v and_o so_o idolatry_n commit_v to_o they_o by_o infinite_a multitude_n to_o the_o great_a offence_n of_o god_n majesty_n and_o infinite_a danger_n of_o soul_n and_o that_o idolatry_n can_v possible_o be_v separate_v from_o image_n set_v up_o in_o church_n and_o temple_n gild_a and_o deck_v glorious_o and_o that_o therefore_o our_o image_n be_v indeed_o very_a idol_n and_o so_o all_o the_o prohibition_n

god_n word_n give_v to_o the_o idol_n of_o the_o gentile_n appertain_v also_o to_o our_o image_n set_v up_o in_o church_n and_o temple_n be_v idol_n like_v to_o they_o and_o have_v like_o idolatry_n commit_v to_o they_o and_o god_n own_o mouth_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n call_v they_o vanity_n lie_n deceit_n uncleanness_n filthiness_n dung_n mischief_n and_o abomination_n before_o the_o lord_n wherefore_o god_n most_o horrible_a wrath_n and_o our_o most_o dreadful_a danger_n can_v be_v avoid_v without_o the_o destruction_n and_o abolish_n of_o all_o such_o image_n and_o idol_n out_o of_o the_o church_n and_o temple_n of_o god_n which_o to_o accomplish_v god_n put_v into_o the_o mind_n of_o all_o christian_a prince_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n let_v we_o take_v heed_n and_o be_v wise_a o_o you_o belove_v of_o the_o lord_n and_o let_v we_o have_v no_o strange_a god_n etc._n etc._n so_o the_o homily_n of_o our_o church_n bishop_n jewel_n reply_v pa._n 517._o the_o best_a remedy_n in_o this_o behalf_n and_o most_o agreeable_a with_o god_n word_n be_v utter_o to_o abolish_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o ill_a so_o the_o godly_a king_n ezekias_n take_v down_o and_o brake_n in_o piece_n the_o brazen_a serpent_n notwithstanding_o moses_n himself_o by_o god_n special_a commandment_n have_v erect_v it_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v a_o express_a figure_n of_o christ_n hang_v

notwithstanding_o it_o be_v the_o image_n of_o christ_n so_o the_o godly_a emperor_n theodosius_n make_v his_o proclamation_n over_o all_o his_o dominion_n in_o this_o sort_n signum_fw-la

doctor_n and_o saint_n of_o god_n now_o triumphant_a in_o heaven_n who_o shall_v sit_v upon_o throne_n as_o assessor_n with_o our_o saviour_n christ_n and_o judge_v the_o world_n as_o the_o
