aquinas_n rule_n that_o the_o image_n must_v be_v worship_v with_o the_o same_o worship_n which_o be_v due_a to_o the_o proto-type_n or_o that_o be_v who_o image_n it_o be_v which_o be_v such_o old_a

that_o to_o the_o cherubim_n when_o but_o four_o page_n before_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o ark_n be_v call_v god_n footstool_n and_o the_o cherubim_v his_o throne_n how_o then_o do_v david_n exhortation_n to_o worship_v the_o ark_n which_o be_v god_n footstool_n prove_v that_o all_o their_o worship_n must_v be_v direct_v to_o the_o cherubim_n which_o be_v his_o throne_n it_o be_v pity_n that_o great_a wit_n have_v but_o short_a memory_n and_o yet_o i_o fancy_n our_o author_n will_v have_v be_v much_o trouble_v to_o prove_v the_o ark_n to_o be_v mean_v by_o god_n footstool_n for_o the_o ark_n be_v in_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n which_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o heaven_n and_o neither_o the_o heaven_n nor_o any_o thing_n in_o it_o but_o the_o earth_n be_v in_o scripture_n call_v god_n footstool_n and_o the_o psalmist_n express_o apply_v it_o to_o zion_n and_o to_o the_o holy_a hill_n which_o i_o will_v not_o prove_v 9_o be_v not_o the_o ark._n and_o this_o i_o suppose_v be_v a_o sufficient_a confutation_n of_o his_o exposition_n of_o the_o word_n to_o bow_v down_o to_o or_o worship_v his_o footstool_n for_o i_o believe_v he_o do_v not_o think_v that_o mount_n zion_n or_o the_o holy_a hill_n be_v the_o object_n of_o worship_n or_o the_o symbol_n of_o god_n presence_n but_o there_o god_n be_v present_a and_o that_o be_v reason_n enough_o to_o worship_v at_o his_o footstool_n and_o at_o his_o holy_a hill_n as_o our_o english_a translation_n read_v it_o but_o now_o suppose_v the_o jew_n be_v to_o direct_v their_o worship_n towards_o the_o mercy-seat_n which_o be_v cover_v with_o the_o cherubim_n where_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o be_v present_a how_o be_v the_o cherubim_v concern_v in_o this_o worship_n the_o worship_n be_v pay_v only_o to_o god_n though_o direct_v to_o god_n as_o peculiar_o present_a at_o that_o place_n which_o be_v no_o more_o than_o to_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n and_o hand_n to_o heaven_n where_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n be_v when_o we_o pray_v to_o he_o i_o grant_v that_o bow_v to_o and_o bow_v towards_o any_o thing_n as_o the_o object_n of_o worship_n be_v the_o very_a same_o as_o this_o author_n observe_v and_o therefore_o have_v the_o jew_n either_o bow_v to_o or_o towards_o the_o cherubim_n as_o the_o object_n of_o their_o worship_n as_o the_o papist_n bow_v to_o or_o towards_o their_o image_n they_o have_v be_v equal_o guilty_a of_o idolatry_n and_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o second_o commandment_n but_o when_o bow_v to_o signify_v bow_v to_o a_o object_n of_o worship_n and_o bow_v towards_o signify_v bow_v to_o this_o object_n of_o worship_n only_o towards_o such_o a_o place_n where_o he_o be_v peculiar_o present_a this_o make_v a_o great_a difference_n and_o this_o be_v all_o the_o jew_n do_v at_o most_o if_o they_o do_v that_o they_o bow_v to_o god_n towards_o the_o mercy-seat_n where_o he_o dwell_v without_o any_o regard_n to_o the_o cherubim_n or_o mercy-seat_n as_o the_o object_n of_o worship_n which_o be_v as_o invisible_a to_o the_o jew_n then_o as_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n and_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n be_v now_o to_o we_o and_o we_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o those_o who_o lift_v up_o their_o eye_n and_o their_o hand_n to_o heaven_n when_o they_o pray_v to_o god_n worship_v the_o angel_n who_o encircle_v his_o throne_n because_o they_o know_v that_o the_o angel_n be_v there_o as_o say_v that_o the_o jew_n worship_v their_o invisible_a cherubim_n because_o they_o know_v that_o the_o cherubim_n be_v there_o for_o be_v there_o any_o necessity_n that_o the_o jew_n must_v worship_v whatever_o they_o know_v be_v in_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n because_o they_o worship_v god_n towards_o that_o place_n any_o more_o than_o there_o be_v that_o we_o must_v worship_v whatever_o we_o know_v to_o be_v in_o heaven_n when_o we_o direct_v our_o worship_n to_o god_n in_o heaven_n man_n i_o grant_v may_v worship_v a_o unseen_a object_n for_o so_o we_o all_o worship_n god_n who_o we_o do_v not_o and_o can_v see_v but_o it_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n still_o that_o the_o cherubim_n be_v not_o intend_v by_o god_n for_o the_o object_n of_o worship_n because_o they_o be_v conceal_v from_o the_o people_n sight_n for_o i_o believe_v the_o world_n never_o hear_v before_o of_o worship_v invisible_a image_n the_o original_a intention_n of_o image_n be_v to_o have_v a_o visible_a object_n of_o worship_n for_o a_o invisible_a image_n can_v affect_v we_o no_o more_o than_o a_o invisible_a god_n and_o if_o our_o author_n have_v consult_v all_o the_o patron_n of_o image-worship_n whether_o pagan_a or_o popish_a he_o will_v have_v find_v most_o of_o the_o reason_n they_o allege_v for_o this_o worship_n to_o depend_v on_o sight_n and_o therefore_o whatever_o he_o think_v be_v all_o lose_v when_o a_o man_n shut_v his_o eye_n a_o man_n who_o direct_v his_o worship_n to_o a_o image_n may_v be_v a_o idolater_n in_o the_o dark_a and_o with_o his_o eye_n shut_v but_o as_o blind_a as_o idolater_n be_v there_o never_o have_v be_v any_o image-worship_n have_v their_o image_n be_v as_o invisible_a as_o their_o god_n and_o therefore_o sight_n have_v more_o to_o do_v in_o this_o matter_n than_o our_o author_n be_v aware_a of_o but_o it_o seem_v the_o highpriest_n once_o a_o year_n do_v see_v these_o cherubim_n and_o adore_v and_o worship_v they_o but_o this_o be_v another_o mistake_n for_o the_o jew_n do_v believe_v that_o the_o highpriest_n never_o see_v the_o cherubim_n or_o mercy-seat_n even_o when_o he_o go_v once_o a_o year_n into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n and_o they_o have_v great_a reason_n for_o what_o they_o say_v since_o god_n express_o command_v that_o when_o he_o go_v into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n he_o shall_v take_v a_o censer_n full_a of_o burn_a coal_n of_o fire_n from_o off_o the_o altar_n before_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o hand_n full_a of_o sweet_a incense_n beat_v small_a and_o bring_v it_o within_o the_o veil_n and_o he_o shall_v put_v the_o incense_n upon_o the_o fire_n before_o the_o lord_n that_o the_o cloud_n of_o the_o incense_n may_v cover_v the_o mercy-seat_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o testimony_n that_o he_o die_v not_o 16._o levit._fw-la 12_o 13._o which_o show_v that_o the_o cherubim_n and_o mercy-seat_n be_v to_o be_v cover_v with_o a_o cloud_n of_o incense_n and_o to_o become_v as_o invisible_a to_o the_o highpriest_n within_o the_o veil_n as_o to_o the_o people_n without_o it_o but_o suppose_v the_o highpriest_n do_v see_v the_o cherubim_n when_o he_o enter_v within_o the_o veil_n i_o have_v one_o plain_a argument_n to_o prove_v that_o he_o do_v not_o worship_v they_o not_o only_o because_o no_o act_n of_o worship_n be_v command_v he_o when_o he_o go_v into_o the_o holy_a place_n but_o because_o as_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n be_v the_o figure_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o cherubim_v the_o type_n of_o angel_n who_o stand_v about_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n so_o the_o highpriest_n enter_v into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n be_v the_o type_n of_o christ_n ascend_v into_o heaven_n with_o his_o own_o blood_n and_o therefore_o the_o highpriest_n must_v do_v nothing_o in_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n but_o what_o be_v a_o proper_a figure_n and_o type_n of_o what_o christ_n do_v in_o heaven_n and_o then_o he_o must_v no_o more_o worship_v the_o cherubim_n which_o cover_v the_o mercy-seat_n or_o the_o typical_a throne_n of_o god_n than_o christ_n himself_o when_o he_o ascend_v to_o heaven_n be_v to_o worship_v the_o angel_n who_o stand_v about_o the_o throne_n so_o that_o notwithstanding_o god_n command_n to_o make_v two_o cherubim_n and_o to_o place_v they_o at_o the_o two_o end_n of_o the_o mercy-seat_n in_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n all_o image-worship_n be_v strict_o forbid_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o god_n have_v provide_v the_o most_o effectual_a remedy_n against_o it_o by_o the_o incarnation_n of_o his_o son_n mankind_n
