Quia ob eandem causam apud nos in pretio ac honore sunt Sacra Biblia, itemque Festa Paschatis, Pentecosts, Nativitatis, & Passionis Christi. What higher account is here made of Images then to be active Objects of Worship? for even whiles it is said, that the Honour done to the Image, resulteth to him whose Image it is, there is no Honour ascribed to the Image, as a Passive Object: but they who honour an Image for this respect, and with this meaning, have it only for an Active Object which represents and calls to their mind the first sampler, as the eArchbishop of Spalato also observeth. Neither the Papists only, but some also of the very Heathen Idolaters, fNorunt in Imaginibus nihil Deitatis inesse, meras autem esse rerum absentium repraesentationes, &c. And what if neither Heathens, nor Papists had been of this Opinion, that Images are but Active Objects of worship? yet I have before observed, that the B. himself acknowledgeth, it were Idolatry to set before us an Image, as the Active Object of our Adoration: though the worship should be abstracted from the Image.
