they_o be_v special_a good_a to_o give_v instruction_n and_o also_o towards_o the_o quicken_n of_o devotion_n yet_o because_o we_o have_v already_o towards_o the_o vindication_n of_o the_o second_o commandment_n make_v particular_a answer_n unto_o those_o allegation_n we_o will_v whole_o for_o this_o time_n confine_v ourselves_o unto_o those_o two_o premise_v 1_o to_o the_o first_o of_o they_o then_o which_o plead_v how_o great_o they_o adorn_v and_o beautify_v church_n we_o answer_v first_o that_o in_o the_o prophecy_n of_o isaiah_n the_o lord_n say_v thus_o a_o 30.22_o you_o shall_v defile_v the_o cover_n of_o thy_o grave_a image_n of_o silver_n and_o the_o ornament_n of_o thy_o melt_a image_n of_o gold_n thou_o shall_v cast_v they_o away_o as_o a_o menstruous_a cloth_n thou_o shall_v say_v unto_o they_o get_v thou_o hence_o and_o in_o the_o prophecy_n of_o ezechiel_n we_o read_v thus_o b_o 20._o as_o for_o the_o beauty_n of_o his_o ornament_n he_o set_v it_o in_o majesty_n but_o they_o have_v make_v the_o image_n of_o their_o abomination_n and_o of_o their_o detestable_a thing_n therein_o second_o it_o be_v a_o necessary_a condition_n in_o a_o ornament_n that_o it_o be_v without_o scandal_n but_o image_n in_o church_n be_v not_o without_o scandal_n therefore_o image_n in_o church_n be_v no_o ornament_n touch_v the_o ground_n of_o this_o our_o argument_n namely_o that_o ornament_n must_v not_o be_v scandalous_a it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o the_o general_a rule_n of_o justice_n do_v require_v for_o life_n must_v always_o be_v prefer_v before_o beauty_n as_o c_o 6._o life_n be_v more_o worth_a than_o meat_n and_o the_o body_n than_o raiment_n whereupon_o it_o fair_o follow_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o endanger_z life_n especial_o the_o spiritual_a life_n must_v rather_o be_v forbear_v then_o the_o thing_n which_o serve_v only_o for_o beauty_n and_o ornament_n procure_v therewith_o yea_o the_o apostle_n esteem_v it_o a_o d_o 〈…〉_z warn_v of_o charity_n if_o a_o man_n have_v not_o rather_o sometime_o part_n with_o his_o food_n then_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o another_o man_n sin_n now_o that_o image_n be_v scandalous_a thing_n in_o church_n it_o be_v many_o way_n apparent_a for_o first_o there_o be_v a_o unreasonable_a proneness_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n to_o sin_n by_o image_n even_o to_o the_o bow_n down_o unto_o they_o and_o commit_v spiritual_a fornication_n with_o they_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o set_n up_o such_o kind_n of_o sight_n in_o those_o kind_n of_o place_n where_o person_n that_o be_v spiritual_o incontinent_a be_v allow_v yea_o and_o bind_v to_o repair_v will_v prove_v a_o palpable_a incensement_n and_o provocation_n thereunto_o especial_o when_o as_o such_o kind_n of_o pollution_n be_v apt_a to_o be_v commit_v through_o the_o mere_a aspect_n of_o the_o outward_a eye_n and_o that_o without_o the_o privity_n or_o knowledge_n of_o the_o near_a slander_n by_o sure_o if_o incontinent_a person_n shall_v be_v invite_v unto_o such_o kind_n of_o house_n as_o have_v every_o corner_n stuff_v with_o baggage_n for_o such_o purpose_n and_o such_o also_o as_o be_v not_o able_a to_o say_v they_o nay_o for_o such_o kind_n of_o thing_n wear_v sure_o be_v image_n be_v it_o not_o a_o most_o ready_a way_n to_o provoke_v such_o kind_n of_o iniquity_n second_o we_o read_v in_o the_o prophet_n ezechiel_n that_o when_o e_o etc._o the_o people_n of_o israel_n do_v see_v the_o image_n of_o the_o chaldaean_n portray_v up●●_n the_o city_n wall_n gird_v with_o gir●les_n about_o their_o loin_n exceed_o ●_z die_v attire_n like_o prince_n etc._n etc._n ●●ey_v enter_v into_o the_o bed_n of_o love_n with_o they_o and_o therefore_o when_o our_o people_n shall_v see_v the_o image_n not_o of_o infidel_n and_o profane_a person_n but_o of_o most_o holy_a saint_n in_o like_o manner_n portray_v and_o that_o not_o up●n_n common_a wall_n but_o upon_o he_o wall_v and_o most_o eminent_a place_n of_o holy_a temple_n be_v it_o not_o to_o be_v fear_v that_o spiritual_a dotage_n will_v ensue_v thereupon_o even_o to_o the_o enter_n into_o the_o bed_n of_o love_n with_o they_o for_o admit_v that_o the_o dotage_n of_o those_o israelite_n which_o the_o prophet_n report_n of_o be_v not_o upon_o the_o image_n but_o upon_o the_o person_n which_o those_o image_n do_v represent_v yet_o when_o such_o person_n be_v once_o dead_a or_o so_o far_o distant_a as_o that_o their_o lover●_n can_v not_o enjoy_v they_o will_v not_o the_o dotage_n in_o the_o end_n rather_o double_a itself_o
