Whilst to Bulls Dogs and Cats th' Egyptians bowe They an egregious Hieroglyphick showe Of vaine Idolatry but little more Of reason then those Animals they adore For why should Man into whose soule his maker Hath heavenly light infus'd and made partaker Of his own image worship things that are Inferiour to himself in worth so farre Or worship God by Proxy dare to sett Of what we never saw the counterfett If ' gainst this we a remedy would finde Conserve these precepts graven in our minde Command 3. 42.
