¶ The second part of the Homily against peril of Idolatry.
¶ The seconde part of the Homilee agaynst perill of Idolatrie.
You have heard (well beloved) in the first part of this Homily, the doctrine of the word of God against idols & images, against idolatry and worshipping of images, taken out of the scriptures of the old Testament & the new, and confirmed by the examples as well of the Apostles, as of our Saviour Christ him self. Now although our Saviour Christ taketh not, or needeth not any testimony of men, and that which is once confirmed by the certainty of his eternal trueth, hath no more need of the confirmation of mans doctrine and writings, then the bright sun at noon tide hath need ⟨p. 46⟩of the light of a little candle to put away darkness, and to increase his light: yet for your further contentation, it shall in this second part be declared (as in the beginning of the first part was promised) that this trueth and doctrine concerning the forbidding of images and worshipping of them, taken out of the holy Scriptures aswell of the old Testament as the new, was believed and taught of the old holy fathers and most ancient learned Doctors, and received in the old primitive Church, which was most uncorrupt and pure. And this declaration shall be made out of the said holy Doctors own writings, and out of the ancient histories ecclesiastical to the same belonging.

Nowe although our Sauiour Christe taketh not, or needeth not anye testimonie of men, and that whiche is once confirmed by the certaintie of his eternall trueth, hath no more neede of the confirmation of mans doctrine and wrytinges, then the bryght sunne at noone tyde hath neede
