Thus we see what a sea of mischiefs the maintenance of images hath brought with it, what an horrible schism between the east and the west Church, what an hatred between one christian and another, councils against councils, church against church, christians against christians, princes against princes, rebellions, treasons, unnatural and most cruel murders, the daughter digging up and burning her father the Emperors body, the mother for love of idols most abominably murdering her own son being an Emperor, at the last, the tearing in sunder of Christendom and the empire into two pieces, till the Infidels, Saracens, and Turks, common enemies to both ⟨p. 96⟩parts have most cruelly vanquished, destroyed, and subdued the one part, the whole empire of Greece, Asia the less, Thrasia, Macedonia, Epirus, and many other great and goodly countries and provinces, and have won a great piece of the other empire, and put the whole in dreadful fear and most horrible danger. For it is not without a just and great cause to be dread, least as the Empire of Rome was even for the like cause of images and the worshipping of them torn in pieces and divided, as was for Idolatry the kingdom of Israel in old time divided: so like punishment, as for the like offence fell upon the Jews, will also light upon us: That is, least the cruel tyrant and enemy of our common wealth and religion the Turk, by Gods just vengeance, in likewise partly murder, & partly lead away into captivity us christians, as did the Assyrian and Babylonian kings murder and lead away the Israelites: and least the empire of Rome & christian religion be so utterly brought under foot, as was then the kingdom of Israel and true religion of God, whereunto the matter already (as I have declared) shrewdly inclineth on our part, the greater part of christendom within less then three hundred years space, being brought into captivity and most miserable thraldom under the Turk, and the noble empire of Greece clean everted. Whereas if the christians, divided by these image matters, had holden together, no Infidels and miscreants could thus have prevailed against christendom.

Thus we see what a sea of mischiefes the maintenaunce of images hath brought with it, what an horrible scisme betweene the east and the west Churche, what an hatred betwene one christian and another, councels agaynst councels, churche agaynst church, christians agaynst christians, princes against princes, rebellions, treasons, vnnaturall and most cruell murders, the daughter digging vp and burning her father the Emperours bodye, the mother for loue of idols most abominably murdering her owne sonne being an Emperour, at the last, the tearing in sunder of Christendome and the empire into two peeces, till the Infidels, Sarasens, and Turkes, common enemies to bothe
