Idols.
Idol in Greek signifies a resemblance or representation, and differs not from Image in Latin: both at first taken in a good sense: but the corruption of times hath bred a corruption of words; and Idol is now only taken for the Image of a false god. Every Idol is an Image, but every Image is not an Idol: but every Image made and used for religious purposes, is an Idol. The Images of God are Idols; wherewith Popery abounds. An old man, sitting in a chair, with a triple Crown on his head, and Pontifical robes on his back, a Dove hanging at his beard, and a Crucifix in his arms; is their Image of the Trinity. This Picture sometime serves them for a god in their Churches, ⟨p. 20⟩and sometime for a sign at their tap-houses: so that it is a common saying in many of their Cities, Such a Gentleman lies at the Trinity, and his servants at Gods head. This they seem to do, as if they would in some sort requite their Maker: because God made man according to his Image, therefore they, by way of recompense, will make God according to mans Image. But this certainly they durst not do, without putting the second Commandment out of their Catechisms, and the whole Decalogue out of their Consciences.
