The worshipping any Idolor image with the worship which is due to God Q. Do any act Idolatry A. Yes 1. Exod. 32. 2 King 18.4 Sr. Christopher Wyer against Popery p. 65. Homil. of Eng. against Idolatry B. Taylors disswasive Cap. 1. sect 8. Cap. 2. sect 12. The Heathens were very prone to it For which some of their Authors blame them 15 2. The Jews were guilty of it in their Molten Calf and Brazen Serpent 3. The Papists at this day practise it as much as the Heathens or Jews ever did Q. How prove you the Papists to be Idolaters A. 1. Their Images are of the same matter the Heathens or Jews were wood stone c. 2. They have the same form and shape eyes feet hands 3. The service to them the same unbaring the head bowing the body 4. their Pleas alike that they worship not the Image but what is represented by it 5. In the Papists adoration of the Cross of Christ they are guilty of cross Idolatry For the sign of the Cross or a Cross where ever seen being adored by them can be but a remembrance of that Cross on which Christ was crucified and their worship then must terminate in that thing represented to wit the Cross of Christ which is not a thing adorable but its adoration argues its actors guilty of gross Idolatry Q. Why are we disswaded from Idolatry A. Mat. 22.37 Acts 10.25 Rev. 22.9 1. All worship is due to God withall our heart mind strength might Soul and body And then no part is left to adore a Creature or worship an Image with 2. Saints and Angels are but Creatures who have refused our worship and will not be rivals with God in Heaven for his Honour 3. The worshipping any Creature pleads it in our esteem to be God 4. Exod. 32.1 John 4.24 Deut. 4.15 to 28. Calvin Instit lib. 1. sect 8. B. Ushers a swer to Jesuit p. 501. The rise of Idolatry was an unbelief of Gods being omnipresent men make Images because unless they see God alone with them they disbelieve his presence with them 5. God cannot be represented by any Image because he is a Spirit 6. Christ as our Saviour cannot be represented because as he was so he was God as well as man but his Deity cannot be pictured and as man only he was not our Saviour yet as man which only can be represented by any Image or picture It is nothing but a strong fancy can make us believe this is like Christ more then that picture since Scripture leaves him undescribed Polydore Virgil. See Bish Taylors disswasive Cap. 1. sect 9. Homil. of Engl. against Idolatry Then which Tract can nothing be better against the rise and progress of Romes Idolatry and the pictures of him are so various 7. Images of the Trinity expose the whole Trinity to scorn and derision is derided by the Heathens and esteemed folly to the Papists themselves 8. God is more lively represented by any living Creature then by a dead Image An Image must be an Image or likeness of something and if the Image of this thing represents God much more must that thing its self whereof this is the Image And so all Creatures when ever we behold them put us in mind of a Deity their Creator And as others so especially and most of allour selves who were created in Gods Image may remind us of God and may supersede the use of Images where ever we are we having a lively Image in our selves of Gods spirituality and Eternity c. 9. This Commandment expresly forbids Idolatry in all its kinds and what hath tendency to it as 1. The making any Idol or Image of any thing in heaven earth sea c. And 2. The bowing down or worshipping any of them so made 10. Image worship was not received in the Church of Christ for above 500 years and then opposed by many Councels and some Popes and was not observed as it is now till about 800 years since as a * B Pearson on Creed p. 38. Officium Beatae Mariae Licensed by Pope Pius 5. 1512. Reverend Prelate observes 11. The Papists seem sensible of their breach of this Commandment by their Image-worship and therefore that there might be no command against it they rase out the second Commandment nor do they keep it in their Catechism Q. What is the Sanction of this Commandment A. Isa 42.8 1. God is a jealous God who will not give his Honour to another 2. He will visit this sin not only on the person but the posterity of the Idolaters 3. He reserves mercy for thousands of them and theirs who serve him Q. Why are the posterity of the Idolaters punished as well as the Idolaters themselves A. 1. God declares this for many reasons as to engage the Parents to abstain from sin least they see themselves and children smart for it 2. To disswade children from treading in their Fathers steps least they thereby contract a double punishment 3. God threatens but Temporal punishments that by vissiting or correcting them with these both parents and children might be kept from sin Dr. Arrow-smiths Aphorisms Exercit. 5. sect 2 4 5. which will deprive both of all spiritual and temporal mercys hereafter 4. God evidenceth more mercy to encourage to duty

in the New Testament because it was so fully known in the Old that Children were within the Covenant and admitted to the Seal of it That Baptizing them is not a receiving them as Foreigners into the Church of Christ but a more Solemn manifesting them to be so and a witnessing they are Members of Christ who belonged to the Body of his Church before Ephes 2.12 13. H●l 8.6 There needed no new Command to promote an old Pract●●e which unless cont●●ued I see no great inducement can be offered to perswade a Jew to become Christian Wills against Danvers Second Part p. 36. None of their Priviledges are infringed but ours enlarged the Covenant is unrepealed and Baptism larger than Circumcision as including Females as well as Males as capable Subjects of it 14.

Gift of Holy Ghost 5. Graces 6. Glory 3. That these Benefits and this Death of Christ ought to be remembred Mat. 26.1 Cor. 11 24. Q. How is the Sacrament a Commemoration of Christs Death A. 1. The Bread and Wine set apart for the Use of the Sacrament denotes Christs separation for the Work of our Redemption the Breads breaking Christs Crucifying its eating our receiving Christ and our Union with him 2. The Wine shews Christs Blood distinct from his Body as shed for us The pouring out the Wine shews the shedding his Blood and our drinking it our applying Christs Blood to cleanse us from sin Q.

Gen. 17.10 Exod. 12 Funeral of Mass Brevint against Mass p. 57. Sacraments are spoken in a Figurative sense Circumcision is called the Covenant and the Paschal Lamb the Passover which were but signs of the Covenant And so this is my Body signifieth this is the sign of my Body and our Adversaries grant a Figurative Speech in the use of the Cup where it is said This Cup is the New Testament in my Blood of which the Blood of Christ signified by the Wine was a Seal 2. Transubstantiation against all our Senses We see feel smell taste Bread 3. Then is there no Sacrament because the Sign is destroyed 4. It s Institution i● in Remembrance of Christ which implies his Absence 5. It destroys Christs Humanity which cannot be in many places at once 6. It exposeth Christs Body to Rude Accidents our eating him Mice destroying him its moulding and corrupting against Psal 16.10 7. Then the Infidels eating the Bread shall be saved for all eating Christ shall 8. Their Pleas from John 6. unsound Christ spoke there Spiritually nor indeed was the Sacrament then Instituted but some time after a little before his Death 9. Either Christ is in the Sacrament or he is not If in it they Act horrid things to tear Christs Body with their Teeth and if he be not there they Act gross Idolatry in Worshipping a piece of Bread it is a madness to eat our God or adore what we eat in the Heathens account 16 10.
