christ_n saying_n this_o be_v my_o body_n and_o thereupon_o out_o of_o this_o persuasion_n of_o my_o heart_n do_v give_v divine_a worship_n unto_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o i_o suppose_v to_o be_v veil_a in_o the_o figure_n of_o bread_n this_o be_v now_o no_o idolatry_n in_o i_o if_o indeed_o the_o bread_n itself_o do_v still_o remain_v for_o in_o the_o act_n of_o my_o understanding_n i_o worship_v not_o any_o bread_n but_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n alone_o i_o answer_v thy_o false_a opinion_n do_v not_o excuse_v thy_o idolatrous_a act_n for_o if_o a_o misguide_a opinion_n can_v simple_o defend_v thou_o in_o this_o case_n than_o the_o pagan_n be_v no_o idolater_n when_o some_o in_o rude_a ignorance_n worship_v stock_n and_o stone_n suppose_v the_o idol_n to_o be_v a_o very_a god_n or_o at_o the_o least_o they_o who_o be_v more_o acute_a and_o learned_a do_v conceive_v that_o the_o deity_n do_v dwell_v and_o inhabit_v therein_o as_o olympius_n a_o philosopher_n do_v instruct_v the_o people_n sozom._n l._n 7._o c._n 15._o and_o therefore_o according_a to_o their_o persuasion_n they_o also_o commit_v not_o idolatry_n in_o the_o prostitution_n of_o their_o body_n unto_o statue_n and_o image_n which_o have_v a_o powerful_a force_n to_o inchant_v the_o mind_n again_o whereas_o some_o may_v perhaps_o imagine_v that_o if_o this_o be_v a_o act_n of_o idolatry_n in_o the_o papist_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o material_a idolatry_n rather_o than_o a_o formal_a because_o there_o be_v such_o a_o christ_n and_o there_o be_v such_o a_o body_n to_o which_o divine_a worship_n be_v due_a though_o this_o body_n be_v not_o thus_o substantial_o in_o the_o sacrament_n where_o they_o adore_v it_o i_o answer_v that_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o saint_n augustine_n the_o israelite_n do_v thus_o adore_v the_o golden_a calf_n not_o take_v it_o to_o be_v god_n but_o that_o god_n be_v present_a in_o it_o yet_o their_o action_n be_v idolatry_n and_o so_o be_v this_o in_o the_o papist_n even_o formal_a idolatry_n because_o though_o there_o be_v a_o deity_n to_o be_v worship_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v worship_v in_o this_o matter_n nor_o manner_n and_o so_o though_o there_o be_v a_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v to_o be_v worship_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o in_o this_o place_n not_o under_o these_o accident_n under_o which_o and_o with_o which_o there_o be_v bread_n still_o and_o therefore_o no_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v worship_v there_o and_o consequent_o this_o popish_a worship_n though_o it_o be_v intentional_o do_v to_o christ_n body_n yet_o it_o be_v real_o do_v to_o the_o very_a bread_n since_o bread_n be_v there_o and_o the_o body_n be_v not_o there_o if_o any_o man_n reply_n and_o say_v when_o christ_n himself_o converse_v hereupon_o the_o earth_n and_o may_v then_o true_o receive_v divine_a adoration_n in_o his_o humane_a nature_n suppose_v that_o a_o stranger_n have_v worship_v saint_n john_n in_o stead_n of_o christ_n be_v this_o idolatry_n when_o only_o the_o party_n be_v mistake_v john_n for_o christ_n and_o the_o error_n be_v only_o in_o the_o application_n of_o the_o worship_n unto_o the_o particular_a subject_n there_o be_v then_o a_o christ_n to_o be_v worship_v thus_o though_o john_n be_v not_o that_o christ_n this_o be_v not_o idolatry_n or_o if_o it_o be_v any_o it_o be_v material_a it_o be_v not_o formal_a i_o answer_v that_o this_o idolatry_n be_v indeed_o pure_o material_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o mistake_a subject_n since_o christ_n be_v then_o upon_o the_o earth_n and_o be_v capable_a of_o this_o divine_a worship_n in_o his_o humane_a nature_n wherein_o he_o then_o live_v here_o and_o wherein_o afterward_o he_o do_v suffer_v and_o die_v here_o and_o this_o be_v not_o formal_a since_o there_o be_v such_o a_o christ_n and_o be_v then_o so_o to_o be_v worship_v in_o the_o carnal_a presence_n of_o his_o real_a body_n but_o this_o suppose_a case_n differ_v very_o much_o from_o the_o popish_a adoration_n because_o christ_n body_n be_v never_o real_o present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n according_a to_o their_o feign_a conversion_n of_o the_o bread_n into_o it_o there_o be_v no_o such_o presence_n teach_v by_o he_o there_o be_v none_o such_o believe_v by_o the_o ancient_a church_n but_o he_o be_v corporal_o in_o heaven_n he_o reign_v there_o he_o remain_v there_o and_o by_o local_a motion_n he_o shall_v from_o thence_o descend_v visible_o at_o the_o last_o day_n therefore_o since_o there_o be_v no_o such_o corporal_a presence_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o papist_n conceive_v in_o the_o sacrament_n but_o this_o be_v fiction_n of_o their_o own_o a_o false_a opinion_n of_o their_o own_o without_o the_o warrant_n of_o christ_n word_n nay_o against_o the_o warrant_n of_o the_o same_o i_o conclude_v that_o their_o adoration_n of_o christ_n body_n there_o which_o be_v not_o there_o be_v idolatry_n clear_a and_o gross_a idolatry_n material_o because_o christ_n body_n be_v not_o there_o but_o bread_n alone_o and_o formal_o because_o they_o have_v not_o his_o word_n for_o their_o warrant_n that_o there_o be_v ever_o any_o such_o presence_n at_o all_o but_o they_o have_v false_o foolish_o blasphemous_o devise_v this_o presence_n out_o of_o their_o own_o brain_n and_o so_o adore_v the_o work_n of_o their_o own_o invention_n which_o conceit_n be_v total_o erroneous_a in_o matter_n which_o be_v not_o there_o present_a and_o in_o form_n which_o be_v never_o prescribe_v unto_o they_o for_o any_o such_o presence_n it_o leave_v they_o to_o be_v total_o idolatrous_a both_o material_o and_o formal_o pure_a idolater_n without_o all_o possibility_n of_o defence_n where_o be_v now_o the_o reconciler_n of_o light_n and_o darkness_n that_o can_v reconcile_v a_o protestant_n with_o a_o papist_n in_o this_o high_a and_o important_a mystery_n wherein_o if_o papist_n err_v they_o err_v as_o intolerable_a idolater_n worship_v a_o breaden_a god_n if_o protestant_n err_v they_o be_v blasphemer_n heretic_n and_o unsufferable_a wretch_n to_o traduce_v the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n &_o the_o practice_n of_o his_o church_n one_o of_o these_o two_o inference_n must_v necessary_o ensue_v and_o which_o be_v true_a i_o need_v not_o say_v where_o the_o conscience_n of_o every_o auditor_n can_v ease_v i_o of_o that_o pain_n wherefore_o i_o proceed_v unto_o the_o other_o instance_n which_o i_o will_v handle_v more_o succinct_o for_o that_o this_o be_v a_o capital_a point_n unto_o which_o therefore_o i_o have_v assign_v the_o first_o place_n in_o this_o dispute_n the_o second_o instance_n then_o concern_v their_o adoration_n of_o image_n as_o they_o call_v they_o but_o idol_n as_o they_o use_v they_o unto_o which_o they_o ascribe_v the_o very_a same_o worship_n which_o be_v due_a unto_o the_o thing_n itself_o of_o dulia_n unto_o the_o image_n of_o saint_n peter_n of_o hyperdulia_fw-la unto_o the_o image_n of_o the_o

and_o remonstrate_v unto_o they_o respective_o in_o every_o image_n the_o very_a same_o no_o lesser_a nor_o other_o they_o give_v unto_o the_o image_n thereof_o with_o the_o same_o reverence_n of_o

in_o their_o conceit_n distinct_o unto_o peter_n mary_n and_o christ_n himself_o and_o their_o reason_n be_v because_o with_o one_o act_n of_o understanding_n they_o assume_v the_o image_n and_o the_o thing_n itself_o into_o their_o apprehension_n there_o unite_n they_o in_o one_o notice_n and_o in_o one_o worship_n o_o subtility_n which_o as_o the_o poor_a ignorant_a people_n can_v reach_v unto_o seldom_o or_o never_o practise_v according_a to_o this_o rule_n so_o the_o more_o ancient_a papist_n do_v not_o attain_v unto_o it_o in_o former_a age_n when_o image_n be_v repute_v historical_a

itself_o they_o be_v ascend_v unto_o such_o a_o speculation_n by_o their_o witty_a foolery_n that_o christ_n and_o his_o image_n have_v one_o and_o the_o same_o worship_n from_o a_o papist_n in_o his_o soul_n and_o body_n why_o then_o do_v epiphanius_n deface_v a_o image_n for_o fear_n of_o idolatry_n if_o this_o be_v none_o why_o do_v serenus_n bishop_n of_o massilia_n break_v the_o image_n
in_o this_o chapter_n according_a to_o the_o vision_n offer_v unto_o he_o do_v only_o compare_v rome_n with_o babylon_n that_o famous_a city_n of_o chaldaea_n the_o last_o seat_n of_o the_o first_o monarchy_n and_o compare_v it_o with_o babylon_n not_o only_o in_o the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n 21.9_o here_o repeat_v in_o my_o text_n and_o reinforce_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n by_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n 51.8_o but_o by_o many_o other_o sentence_n and_o passage_n exemplify_v as_o it_o be_v out_o of_o those_o prophet_n and_o translate_v into_o this_o place_n i_o proceed_v therefore_o now_o according_a to_o my_o design_n to_o show_v you_o the_o resemblance_n not_o all_o but_o some_o betwixt_o that_o babylon_n in_o asia_n and_o this_o in_o europe_n the_o first_o be_v so_o in_o a_o literal_a name_n the_o second_o in_o a_o mystical_a sense_n whereby_o we_o shall_v easy_o perceive_v that_o rome_n do_v true_o communicate_v with_o she_o in_o the_o similitude_n of_o her_o name_n because_o she_o do_v apt_o resemble_v she_o in_o the_o quality_n of_o her_o sin_n according_a to_o that_o excellent_a rule_n of_o tertullian_n in_o this_o behalf_n scriptura_fw-la divina_fw-la utitur_fw-la translatione_fw-la nominum_fw-la ex_fw-la comparatione_fw-la criminum_fw-la the_o scripture_n do_v use_v a_o similitude_n of_o name_n from_o the_o

of_o the_o roman_a city_n be_v therefore_o great_a proud_a in_o her_o empire_n and_o a_o persecutor_n of_o the_o saint_n this_o be_v the_o comparison_n in_o three_o point_n as_o you_o hear_v which_o tertullian_n frame_v betwixt_o babylon_n in_o chaldaea_n and_o the_o city_n of_o rome_n but_o either_o rome_n in_o that_o ethnicall_a state_n be_v not_o this_o babylon_n of_o which_o saint_n john_n do_v speak_v or_o at_o the_o least_o it_o be_v babylon_n afterward_o in_o another_o estate_n as_o the_o jesuit_n confess_v we_o must_v now_o inquire_v what_o be_v the_o crime_n of_o rome_n as_o she_o be_v babylon_n in_o latter_a time_n and_o how_o the_o similitude_n therein_o do_v stand_v betwixt_o that_o literal_a babylon_n in_o the_o east_n and_o this_o mystical_a babylon_n in_o the_o west_n and_o now_o because_o we_o live_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o event_n of_o thing_n and_o see_v that_o by_o experience_n in_o rome_n which_o tertullian_n can_v not_o foresee_v in_o his_o judgement_n nothing_o be_v less_o to_o be_v suspect_v in_o his_o day_n then_o that_o the_o pope_n shall_v invade_v the_o imperial_a seat_n and_o that_o papal_a rome_n shall_v be_v spiritual_a babylon_n and_o therefore_o look_v bare_o into_o the_o prophecy_n can_v not_o compare_v it_o with_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o time_n as_o we_o may_v do_v this_o be_v the_o true_a and_o proper_a mean_n to_o expound_v all_o obscure_a prophecy_n as_o irenaeus_n do_v well_o observe_v lib._n 4._o c._n 43._o therefore_o i_o will_v proceed_v a_o little_a beyond_o the_o two_o crime_n of_o pride_n and_o cruelty_n which_o

in_o papal_a rome_n the_o point_n then_o of_o comparison_n betwixt_o these_o two_o be_v many_o for_o now_o plenty_n itself_o have_v make_v i_o poor_a i_o will_v select_v five_o at_o this_o time_n which_o also_o i_o shall_v rather_o brief_o note_v then_o copious_o discuss_v the_o first_o comparison_n betwixt_o literal_a babylon_n and_o papal_a rome_n the_o first_o point_n wherein_o this_o

of_o the_o world_n this_o sin_n of_o idolatry_n be_v a_o regnant_a sin_n in_o ecclesiastical_a rome_n which_o be_v thence_o commend_v and_o command_v unto_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o god_n and_o
