consequent_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o s._n paul_n and_o the_o whole_a church_n they_o may_v rest_v secure_a in_o the_o belief_n until_o the_o denier_n bring_v some_o clear_a place_n of_o holy_a

contain_v but_o only_o out_o of_o a_o faith_n in_o christ_n represent_v by_o that_o image_n that_o be_v believe_v christ_n worthy_a of_o all_o honour_n represent_v by_o this_o picture_n in_o manner_n as_o he_o visible_o once_o appear_v whence_o evident_a it_o be_v first_o that_o by_o such_o worship_n christ_n be_v immediate_o worship_v second_o that_o no_o honour_n due_a to_o god_n be_v transfer_v to_o a_o creature_n three_o that_o whatsoever_o honour_n exterior_a or_o interior_a tend_v towards_o the_o image_n be_v not_o for_o it_o nor_o rest_v there_o but_o by_o our_o faith_n and_o interior_a

christ_n himself_o and_o as_o s._n mary_n magdalen_n worship_v christ_n as_o a_o man_n out_o of_o belief_n of_o the_o divinity_n contain_v in_o he_o or_o rather_o as_o some_o worship_n their_o

ancient_a doctor_n and_o father_n second_o grant_v image_n the_o right_a translation_n how_o can_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o the_o same_o law_n be_v now_o in_o force_n more_o than_o the_o law_n of_o the_o saboth_n or_o circumcision_n i_o see_v not_o how_o these_o two_o doubt_n can_v be_v solue_v by_o clear_a scripture_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o repeal_v a_o ancient_o receive_v belief_n in_o a_o church_n 22._o moreover_o admit_v the_o word_n image_n and_o the_o law_n to_o stand_v it_o be_v manifest_v that_o place_n prove_v nothing_o against_o the_o worship_n of_o image_n as_o explicate_v before_o but_o only_o against_o idolatrous_a abuse_n of_o they_o 23._o first_o out_o of_o the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v that_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v inviolable_o keep_v by_o give_v divine_a worship_n to_o he_o and_o to_o no_o creature_n therefore_o in_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v say_v i_o be_o thy_o lord_n god_n thou_o shall_v have_v no_o other_o god_n but_o i_o and_o after_o he_o have_v command_v that_o no_o idol_n nor_o other_o likeness_n of_o any_o thing_n shall_v be_v make_v he_o add_v the_o cause_n for_o i_o be_o thy_o lord_n god_n a_o jealous_a god_n that_o be_v make_v not_o to_o thyself_o any_o idol_n or_o image_n for_o thy_o god_n for_o i_o be_o thy_o god_n where_o mark_n that_o particle_n for_o which_o give_v a_o reason_n why_o he_o do_v forbid_v image_n because_o he_o be_v their_o god_n and_o a_o ●ealous_a god_n which_o reason_n must_v suppose_v such_o a_o use_n of_o image_n as_o shall_v transfer_v god_n honour_n from_o he_o to_o they_o else_o that_o particle_n for_o be_v impertinent_a if_o due_a honour_n of_o image_n may_v consist_v with_o the_o honour_n due_a to_o god_n as_o that_o before_o declare_v do_v and_o i_o will_v show_v more_o hereafter_o 24._o second_o because_o if_o that_o command_n have_v force_v now_o against_o worship_v it_o be_v likewise_o of_o force_n against_o all_o make_n of_o image_n in_o so_o much_o that_o the_o very_a king_n coin_n must_v be_v prove_v unlawful_a but_o this_o be_v palpable_o absurd_a therefore_o also_o absurd_a that_o the_o law_n shall_v now_o be_v of_o force_n against_o all_o image_n worship_n the_o first_o proposition_n be_v manifest_a for_o what_o the_o law_n forbid_v to_o be_v worship_v it_o also_o forbid_v to_o be_v make_v or_o if_o it_o forbid_v they_o not_o to_o be_v

thou_o shall_v not_o make_v to_o thyself_o etc._n etc._n signify_v thou_o shall_v not_o make_v to_o worship_n intimate_v that_o the_o worship_n only_o and_o not_o the_o make_n of_o image_n be_v

it_o be_v manifest_a that_o that_o interpretation_n can_v have_v no_o ground_n in_o scripture_n unless_o we_o also_o say_v that_o when_o gen._n 3.4_o it_o be_v say_v adam_n and_o eve_n make_v

proposition_n be_v true_a to_o wit_n that_o this_o be_v absurd_a it_o follow_v evident_o that_o it_o be_v also_o absurd_a to_o say_v that_o the_o law_n be_v now_o i●_n force_n against_o image_n worship_n 25._o a_o three_o and_o chief_a reason_n be_v because_o we_o have_v clear_a warrant_n out_o of_o holy_a scripture_n both_o for_o the_o make_n &_o worship_v of_o image_n the_o same_o lawmaker_n command_v cherubim_n over_o the_o ark_n exod._n 25._o and_o a_o serpent_n of_o brass_n num._n 21._o cherubim_n lyon_n reg_n 6.7_o to_o be_v make_v how_o can_v this_o stand_v with_o a_o total_a prohibtion_n of_o image_n that_o ark_n represent_v god_n not_o so_o proper_o as_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n represent_v christ_n yet_o david_n teach_v we_o adore_v the_o footstool_n of_o our_o lord_n for_o he_o be_v holy_a which_o he_o say_v not_o out_o of_o any_o command_n there_o ever_o be_v of_o adore_v the_o ark_n since_o there_o be_v none_o but_o only_o out_o of_o consideration_n that_o it_o represent_v in_o some_o sort_n the_o majesty_n of_o god_n josuac_n 7._o fell_a prostrate_a before_o the_o ark_n where_o i_o see_v not_o what_o he_o do_v more_o or_o less_o than_o be_v

22._o jos_n 5.14_o and_o else_o where_o how_o the_o holy_a prophet_n adore_v god_n in_o image_n or_o in_o angel_n represent_v his_o person_n prostrate_v themselves_o before_o they_o and_o though_o their_o intention_n be_v direct_v to_o god_n yet_o their_o outward_a worship_n be_v direct_v to_o those_o sensible_a apparition_n or_o image_n represent_v god_n to_o their_o imagination_n wherein_o they_o conceive_v god_n as_o represent_v and_o these_o image_n represent_v god_n moral_o one_o object_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o it_o happen_v in_o the_o honour_n of_o image_n and_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o figurative_a communion_n or_o as_o all_o civil_a nation_n do_v when_o they_o honour_v the_o chair_n of_o state_n or_o presence_n chamber_n of_o a_o king_n without_o wrong_n to_o christ_n or_o to_o the_o king_n 26._o these_o three_o argument_n do_v manifest_o show_v that_o whether_o in_o the_o commandment_n we_o read_v idol_n or_o image_n by_o it_o nothing_o can_v be_v prove_v against_o the_o declare_a manner_n of_o worship_v image_n unless_o we_o will_v prove_v a_o contradiction_n in_o holy_a scripture_n moreover_o since_o it_o be_v clear_o prove_v by_o those_o example_n and_o practice_n take_v out_o of_o holy_a scripture_n that_o in_o such_o worship_n there_o be_v no_o sign_n of_o dishonour_n to_o god_n it_o be_v doubtless_o more_o secure_a with_o the_o common_a

be_v also_o manifest_a since_o the_o scripture_n bring_v be_v not_o clear_a for_o condemnation_n of_o image-worship_n therefore_o not_o sufficient_a to_o cry_v down_o a_o ancient_a practice_n prove_v by_o sound_a text_n of_o scripture_n which_o can_v never_o be_v reconcile_v with_o those_o word_n of_o the_o law_n unless_o where_o image_n be_v read_v we_o read_v idol_n which_o word_n signify_v a_o command_n that_o no_o creature_n shall_v be_v make_v nor_o worship_v as_o god_n this_o use_n of_o image_n declare_v be_v justify_v both_o in_o respect_n of_o make_v and_o worship_v by_o other_o text_n of_o scripture_n without_o any_o contradiction_n to_o those_o word_n of_o the_o law_n when_o the_o contrary_a without_o any_o necessity_n compel_v a_o man_n to_o deny_v clear_a reason_n and_o scripture_n 28._o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o since_o idolatry_n have_v be_v begin_v and_o maintain_v by_o image_n and_o since_o man_n be_v prone_a to_o forget_v god_n and_o apply_v themselves_o whole_o to_o corporal_a object_n the_o secure_a way_n be_v to_o abandon_v image_n at_o the_o least_o in_o church_n this_o be_v speak_v without_o reason_n or_o law_n without_o law_n for_o there_o can_v be_v none_o bring_v since_o not_o image_n but_o idol_n be_v the_o beginning_n and_o maintain_v of_o idolatry_n image_n i_o have_v prove_v warrantable_a in_o holy_a scripture_n without_o reason_n for_o whereas_o a_o idol_n represent_v nothing_o beside_o itself_o and_o so_o be_v worship_v a_o image_n represent_v a_o true_a thing_n therefore_o move_v a_o man_n to_o a_o reverence_n proportionable_a to_o the_o object_n represent_v whence_o in_o reason_n a_o idol_n occasion_v idolatry_n not_o represent_v any_o further_a object_n whither_o our_o thought_n and_o honour_n may_v be_v transfer_v when_o contrariwise_o a_o image_n of_o a_o true_a object_n necessary_o draw_v our_o mind_n and_o reverence_n to_o some_o thing_n beside_o itself_o so_o that_o ask_v any_o simple_a believer_n whether_o he_o
