Clemens in his book to James brother of the 1Lord, saith: What can be so wicked or so unthankful, as to receive a benefit of God, and to give thanks therefore unto stocks and stones? Wherefore awake ye, & understand your health, for God hath need of no man, nor requireth any thing, nor can be hurt in any thing. But we be they which are either holpen or hurt, in that we be thankful to God, or unthankful.

Origenes in his book against Celsus, saith thus: Christian men and Jews, when they hear these words of the law (Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, & shalt not make any image) do not only abhor the Temples, altars, and images of the gods, but if need be, will rather dye then they should defile them selves with any impiety. And shortly after he saith: In the common wealth of the Jews, the carver of idols and image maker, was cast far of and forbidden, least they should have any occasion to make images, which might pluck certain foolish persons from God, and turn the eyes of their souls to the contemplation of ⟨p. 48⟩earthly things. And in an other place of the same book: It is not only (saith he) a mad and frantic part to worship images, but also once to dissemble or wink at it. And a man may know God and his only Son, and those which have had such honour given them by God, that they be called Gods: But it is not possible that any should by worshipping of images get any knowledge of God.
