unto_o our_o good_a if_o moses_n shall_v have_v make_v any_o law_n against_o they_o which_o indeed_o he_o do_v not_o but_o only_o against_o heathen_a idol_n and_o if_o any_o one_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o have_v our_o christian_a representation_n to_o be_v abolish_v because_o he_o think_v and_o believe_v that_o moses_n forbid_v they_o than_o be_v that_o man_n say_v i_o bind_v to_o observe_v all_o the_o whole_a law_n of_o moses_n as_o it_o be_v literal_o express_v by_o he_o even_o to_o the_o least_o apex_n or_o iota_fw-la thereof_o for_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o legislator_n be_v the_o same_o in_o all_o h●s_v whole_a law_n must_v oblige_v equal_o in_o all_o its_o part_n and_o the_o distinction_n then_o between_o judicial_a moral_a and_o ceremonial_a law_n signify_v nothing_o see_v that_o moses_n his_o command_n be_v equal_o peremptory_a and_o press_v as_o strong_o in_o the_o one_o as_o in_o the_o other_o this_o be_v no_o imaginary_a opinion_n of_o my_o own_o but_o what_o reason_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n move_v st._n paul_n to_o aver_v as_o stout_o in_o the_o case_n of_o circumcision_n which_o be_v another_o of_o moses_n law_n as_o i_o do_v here_o i_o testify_v to_o every_o man_n say_v he_o who_o be_v circumcise_v that_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v true_a most_o certain_o true_a for_o by_o observe_v circumcision_n because_o it_o be_v command_v by_o moses_n he_o subject_n himself_o to_o the_o law_n and_o authority_n of_o moses_n as_o his_o prince_n and_o legislator_n and_o consequent_o be_v bind_v to_o observe_v he_o equal_o in_o all_o thing_n which_o he_o command_v with_o the_o same_o authority_n and_o will_n to_o be_v obey_v which_o be_v no_o less_o than_o all_o his_o whole_a law_n and_o curse_a be_v every_o one_o say_v the_o same_o apostle_n who_o be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o continue_v not_o in_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n to_o fulfil_v they_o although_o then_o it_o shall_v be_v grant_v that_o moses_n by_o his_o law_n prohibit_v all_o kind_n of_o figure_n and_o representation_n even_o those_o use_v by_o christian_n which_o he_o do_v not_o yet_o if_o our_o lord_n ratify_v it_o not_o it_o do_v not_o touch_v we_o at_o all_o and_o that_o he_o do_v not_o renew_v or_o ratify_v it_o be_v sufficient_o clear_a to_o protestant_n because_o no_o such_o law_n of_o he_o be_v find_v among_o the_o evangelist_n and_o unto_o catholic_n not_o less_o because_o there_o be_v neither_o gospel_n nor_o tradition_n for_o it_o and_o if_o all_o man_n will_v separate_v themselves_o from_o prejudice_n which_o blind_v and_o harden_v they_o in_o their_o conceit_n they_o may_v easy_o believe_v that_o neither_o christ_n immediate_a disciple_n nor_o any_o christian_n that_o succeed_v they_o after_o our_o lord_n departure_n will_v have_v either_o fear_v or_o hate_v the_o figure_n of_o our_o lord_n countenance_n if_o by_o chance_n they_o will_v have_v meet_v with_o it_o but_o if_o any_o one_o notwithstanding_o full_o persuade_v that_o moses_n make_v a_o law_n against_o all_o sort_n of_o image_n and_o representation_n shall_v upon_o that_o authority_n of_o his_o abolish_v we_o he_o be_v bind_v also_o upon_o the_o same_o authority_n to_o sacrifice_v a_o ox_n and_o observe_v all_o the_o whole_a law_n in_o all_o and_o every_o particular_a under_o the_o penalty_n of_o sin_n since_o therefore_o by_o the_o order_n of_o god_n and_o moses_n many_o grave_a thing_n be_v make_v representation_n and_o similitude_n both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n notwithstanding_o the_o say_a law_n as_o the_o serpent_n of_o brass_n which_o must_v either_o be_v make_v by_o melt_v or_o grave_v pomegranate_n lily_n and_o various_a suchlike_a thing_n both_o grave_v in_o stone_n and_o interweave_v in_o silk_n cherubin_n or_o angel_n in_o the_o propitiatory_a even_o in_o moses_n time_n and_o afterward_o more_o full_o and_o plentiful_o in_o solomon_n temple_n it_o be_v not_o rational_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o this_o law_n of_o his_o be_v intend_v only_o to_o keep_v those_o people_n close_o and_o constant_a to_o their_o own_o god_n and_o to_o their_o own_o religion_n which_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o idol_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o not_o for_o any_o purpose_n of_o keep_v abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n either_o out_o of_o their_o chamber_n hang_n or_o we_o i_o know_v the_o jew_n do_v urge_v this_o precept_n of_o moses_n very_o eager_o against_o christian_n ever_o since_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n be_v reject_v by_o they_o who_o image_n and_o figure_n they_o can_v abide_v to_o see_v but_o we_o must_v have_v patience_n with_o all_o man_n §_o 9_o moses_n say_v he_o ground_v this_o law_n of_o he_o upon_o a_o reason_n unchangeable_a namely_o that_o god_n infinite_a and_o incomprehensible_a deity_n can_v be_v represent_v o_o profound_a invention_n this_o be_v such_o a_o law_n and_o ground_n of_o a_o law_n as_o be_v never_o before_o thought_n of_o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o make_v a_o law_n must_v be_v this_o a_o impossibility_n of_o break_v it_o they_o must_v not_o make_v any_o representation_n of_o god_n because_o god_n can_v be_v represent_v and_o the_o same_o motive_n or_o reason_n will_v be_v equal_o proper_a for_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o commandment_n they_o must_v keep_v the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o week_n a_o holy_a day_n the_o reason_n and_o motive_n because_o there_o be_v not_o a_o eight_o day_n to_o keep_v holy_a and_o sanctify_v they_o must_v honour_v their_o parent_n the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o this_o because_o none_o of_o the_o whole_a camp_n have_v any_o father_n or_o mother_n alive_a to_o dishonour_v they_o must_v not_o kill_v the_o motive_n and_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o be_v all_o shot-free_a and_o so_o firm_o enchant_v that_o none_o can_v hurt_v they_o they_o must_v not_o commit_v adultery_n the_o ground_n and_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v never_o a_o woman_n in_o the_o camp_n which_o any_o man_n though_o provoke_v with_o the_o high_a lust_n can_v pessible_o come_v near_a or_o touch_v with_o a_o pair_n of_o tongue_n they_o must_v not_o steal_v the_o great_a cause_n thereof_o be_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o in_o the_o camp_n for_o any_o man_n to_o take_v away_o thus_o the_o doctor_n imagine_v moses_n to_o forbid_v any_o representation_n of_o god_n because_o god_n can_v be_v represent_v and_o such_o another_o discreet_a monsieur_n be_v he_o who_o solemn_o command_v his_o bowyer_n not_o to_o make_v he_o any_o shaft_n at_o all_o of_o a_o pig_n ta●le_a and_o he_o gravel●_n give_v he_o the_o reason_n for_o it_o because_o quoth_v he_o of_o a_o pig_n tail_n no_o shaft_n can_v be_v make_v truth_n be_v moses_n never_o think_v of_o any_o such_o law_n nor_o any_o such_o reason_n of_o it_o much_o less_o but_o provide_v for_o the_o security_n of_o the_o hebrew_n religion_n that_o it_o may_v remain_v unchangeable_a and_o firm_a in_o the_o mid_n of_o those_o many_o nation_n round_o about_o they_o who_o worship_v false_a god_n and_o idol_n as_o moses_n very_o frequent_o interpret_v himself_o and_o all_o the_o prophet_n after_o he_o therefore_o say_v god_n by_o moses_n thou_o sh●lt_v have_v no_o other_o god_n but_o i_o thou_o shall_v not_o make_v to_o thyself_o any_o figure_n as_o the_o gentill_n do_v nor_o worship_v they_o for_o i_o be_o a_o jealous_a god_n and_o will_v have_v no_o intermingle_v of_o devilish_a idolatry_n with_o my_o service_n and_o all_o the_o reason_n give_v by_o moses_n be_v god_n jealousy_n not_o endure_v any_o divine_a worship_n but_o his_o own_o this_o be_v the_o very_a truth_n and_o all_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o business_n which_o this_o doctor_n will_v turn_v another_o way_n thereby_o to_o make_v moses_n seem_v as_o simple_a a_o ma●_n as_o himself_o and_o those_o idol_n forbid_v by_o moses_n do_v so_o involve_v a_o opposition_n to_o the_o true_a god_n and_o his_o divine_a worship_n that_o people_n can_v not_o possible_o betake_v themselves_o to_o one_o but_o they_o must_v leave_v the_o other_o therefore_o do_v moses_n forbid_v both_o other_o god_n beside_o their_o own_o one_o god_n and_o all_o idol_n together_o which_o be_v by_o ancient_a christian_n very_o rational_o and_o wise_o reckon_v all_o one_o and_o the_o same_o commandment_n whereof_o no_o less_o a_o man_n than_o st._n austin_n himself_o be_v witness_v but_o the_o memory_n of_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o j●cob_n can_v bring_v no_o such_o danger_n with_o they_o and_o that_o be_v our_o care_n for_o we_o be_v not_o in_o danger_n of_o lose_v the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n by_o keep_v the_o image_n of_o he_o our_o crucify_a lord_n among_o we_o or_o forsake_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n by_o retain_v their_o portraiture_n before_o our_o eye_n
