image_n be_v not_o your_o power_n in_o reason_v be_v in_o something_o very_o like_o the_o godhead_n for_o it_o will_v be_v omnipotent_a then_o you_o discourse_n in_o this_o manner_n god_n be_v not_o like_a unto_o any_o similitude_n the_o art_n of_o man_n can_v devise_v therefore_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v worship_v by_o similitude_n if_o nothing_o can_v be_v like_o he_o and_o consequent_o nothing_o be_v a_o similitude_n sure_o you_o need_v not_o fear_v that_o worship_n which_o can_v never_o be_v since_o it_o suppose_v a_o thing_n which_o can_v never_o be_v but_o i_o suppose_v you_o mean_v by_o similitude_n image_n whether_o like_a or_o unlike_a and_o then_o pray_v how_o do_v it_o follow_v no_o image_n can_v be_v like_o he_o therefore_o no_o honour_n can_v redound_v to_o he_o that_o be_v no_o benefit_n to_o we_o by_o image_n to_o worship_v these_o image_n so_o as_o to_o believe_v they_o either_o him_z or_o like_o he_o which_o be_v the_o thing_n i_o conceive_v the_o apostle_n speak_v against_o we_o do_v abhor_v with_o the_o height_n of_o detestation_n but_o if_o they_o induce_v we_o to_o worship_v he_o often_o and_o more_o ardent_o than_o we_o shall_v without_o they_o how_o can_v it_o be_v but_o that_o to_o oppose_v they_o be_v to_o oppose_v his_o worship_n therefore_o no_o picture_n or_o representation_n of_o he_o be_v to_o be_v make_v beseech_v you_o sir_n what_o law_n be_v there_o against_o make_v picture_n which_o be_v not_o like_a sure_o you_o will_v be_v very_o severe_a to_o ill_a painter_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v the_o picture_n which_o be_v make_v of_o god_n be_v indeed_o no_o more_o than_o sign_n which_o present_v he_o to_o our_o memory_n and_o call_v picture_n of_o he_o with_o no_o more_o justice_n than_o a_o bush_n will_v be_v call_v the_o picture_n of_o wine_n for_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o picture_n consist_v in_o represent_v to_o the_o eye_n the_o same_o proportion_n colour_n and_o figure_n of_o part_n upa_a piece_n of_o cloth_n or_o wood_n which_o we_o see_v in_o the_o original_a i_o refer_v myself_o to_o your_o own_o candour_n to_o judge_v whether_o we_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o impiety_n of_o believe_v part_n or_o colour_n or_o any_o thing_n which_o the_o art_n of_o paint_v be_v able_a to_o reach_v to_o be_v in_o god_n for_o paint_v be_v only_o of_o body_n and_o those_o gross_a one_o too_o to_o express_v wind_n or_o those_o small_a part_n which_o affect_v the_o smell_n taste_n etc._n etc._n be_v beyond_o her_o sphere_n so_o that_o none_o who_o be_v in_o his_o sense_n can_v imagine_v we_o so_o damnable_o senseless_a as_o to_o believe_v it_o be_v in_o its_o power_n to_o frame_v any_o representation_n of_o god_n which_o with_o any_o propriety_n can_v be_v call_v a_o picture_n of_o he_o these_o which_o we_o have_v by_o custom_n warrant_v and_o perhaps_o begin_v by_o authority_n of_o scripture_n bring_v by_o the_o shape_n they_o represent_v the_o divinity_n into_o our_o memory_n and_o adoration_n of_o it_o not_o of_o the_o picture_n into_o our_o heart_n and_o except_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o remember_v and_o adore_v the_o deity_n i_o can_v imagine_v it_o shall_v be_v unlawful_a to_o use_v mean_n which_o conduce_v to_o that_o end_n by_o this_o i_o presume_v you_o already_o see_v the_o disparity_n of_o the_o comparison_n of_o picture_n to_o a_o toad_n but_o first_o what_o mean_v you_o by_o worship_v god_n in_o a_o shape_n if_o you_o mean_v that_o we_o hold_v either_o that_o shape_n to_o be_v his_o or_o he_o to_o be_v in_o it_o more_o than_o his_o ubiquity_n make_v he_o present_a to_o all_o thing_n you_o either_o mistake_v or_o wrong_v we_o and_o what_o else_o that_o expression_n shall_v signify_v i_o see_v not_o next_o what_o be_v there_o of_o common_a betwixt_o these_o
