Lactantius likewise an old and learned writer in his book of the Origin of error, hath these words: God is above man, and is not placed beneath, but is to be sought in the highest region. Wherefore there is no doubt, but that no religion is in that place wheresoever any image is. For if religion stand in godly things (and there is no godliness but in heavenly things) then be images without religion. These be Lactantius 1words, who was above. xiii. hundred years ago, and within three hundred years after our saviour Christ.

Cirillus an old & holy doctor, upon the Gospel of Saint John hath these words: Many have left the creator, and have worshipped the creature, neither have they ben abashed to say unto a stock: thou art my father, & unto a stone: thou begottest me. For many, yea almost all (alas for sorrow) are fallen unto such folly, that they have given the glory of deity or God head, to things without sense or feeling.
