that_o they_o will_v not_o make_v use_n of_o image_n but_o to_o raise_v their_o mind_n towards_o heaven_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v there_o honour_n jesus_n christ_n or_o his_o saint_n and_o in_o the_o saint_n god_n himself_o who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o sanctity_n and_o grace_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n we_o ought_v to_o understand_v that_o honour_n which_o we_o pay_v to_o relic_n after_o the_o example_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o if_o our_o adversary_n will_v but_o consider_v that_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o body_n of_o saint_n as_o have_v be_v victimes_o offer_v

which_o renew_v in_o we_o his_o remembrance_n if_o they_o do_v but_o conceive_v that_o honour_n have_v the_o like_a progression_n see_v honour_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o love_n mix_v with_o

that_o if_o god_n as_o jealous_a as_o he_o be_v of_o the_o love_n of_o man_n do_v not_o look_v upon_o we_o as_o divide_v ourselves_o betwixt_o he_o and_o creature_n when_o we_o love_v our_o
