A51287	An appendix to the late antidote against idolatry Wherein the true and adequate notion or definition of idolatry is proposed. Most instances of idolatry in the Roman Church thereby examined. Sundry uses in the Church of England cleared. With some serious monitions touching spiritual idolatry thereunto annexed.	More, Henry, 1614-1687.	1673 (1673)	Wing M2642; ESTC R223783	31,890	68

or_o that_o suppose_v whether_o the_o body_n of_o a_o man_n or_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n and_o beside_o this_o not_o only_o the_o exterior_a reason_n but_o that_o which_o the_o greek_n call_v 〈◊〉_d

and_o reply_n but_o there_o be_v no_o contradiction_n at_o all_o to_o either_o sensation_n or_o common_a notion_n in_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o trinity_n only_o exterior_a reason_n and_o

take_v say_v they_o for_o a_o object_n of_o worship_n the_o understanding_n must_v affirm_v either_o true_o or_o false_o that_o it_o be_v there_o whither_o the_o worship_n be_v direct_v which_o

that_o which_o we_o call_v the_o sun_n and_o understand_v thereby_o a_o flammeous_a body_n devoid_a of_o sense_n and_o understanding_n that_o appear_v alike_o to_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o sun-worshipper_n and_o to_o we_o as_o the_o species_n appear_v the_o same_o to_o those_o that_o believe_v the_o bread_n transubstantiate_v and_o to_o they_o that_o believe_v it_o not_o be_v it_o

we_o all_o acknowledge_v they_o for_o all_o that_o to_o have_v be_v sun-worshipper_n and_o idolater_n wherefore_o use_v just_a weight_n and_o measure_n we_o must_v conclude_v the_o romanist_n bread-worshipper_n and_o idolater_n the_o bread_n not_o be_v transubstantiate_v since_o their_o worship_n then_o light_v upon_o bread_n instead_o of_o christ_n as_o the_o sun-worshipper_n upon_o the_o

who_o notwithstanding_o find_v himself_o the_o object_n of_o his_o stroke_n and_o wish_n he_o have_v not_o be_v there_o this_o idolatry_n i_o must_v confess_v be_v commit_v through_o mistake_n but_o

by_o virtue_n of_o which_o we_o demonstrative_o have_v show_v the_o sundry_a idolatry_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o their_o worship_v the_o image_n of_o christ_n in_o their_o worship_v and_o
