God is Ens entium, All in all: an Idol is nothing in the world, saith the Apostle: now All and Nothing are most contrary. Idolatry quite takes away Faith, a fundamental part ⟨p. 28⟩of Christian religion: for an Idol is a thing visible,1 but Faith is of things invisible. The Idol is a false evidence of things seen, Faith is a true evidence of things not seen. Besides, God can defend himself, save his friends, plague his enemies:2 but Idols nec hostes absc•ndere possunt quasi dij, nec se abscondere quasi homines; they can neither revenge themselves on provokers, like gods; nor hide themselves from injurers, like men.

Besides, God can defend himselfe, saue his friends, plague his enemies:2 but Idols nec hostes absc•ndere possunt quasi dij, nec se abscondere quasi homines; they can neither reuenge themselus on prouokers, like gods; nor hide themselues from iniurers, like men.
