Such as would this occasion of Idolatry to remain in the church by division of the commandments would pass over this second commandment which saythe: Non facies tibi sculptile, non adorabis ea, and make of the tenth commandment to commandments. But the text will not suffer it. For as the lord there for biddeth the inward lust and concupiscence of his neighbours house so doth he for bid the lust and concupiscence of his neighbours wife servant, Or daughter and all is but one commandment Exo. 20. read the text in the Hebrew and then it shall be more plain. The second commandment which the defenders of imagery neglect. ⟨image 31⟩For biddeth not only the outward reverence and honour but also by the same express commandment for biddeth to make any image they do injuries to the manifest text and there gloss is to be abhorred. And the plain text to be followed. The Kings majesty that dead is willed not only all his true subjects to have no familiarity with Cardinal pole, but also to refrain his company and not to have to do with him in any case and not without god and necessary consideration he that would: not with standing this command, of the king's majesty, have haunted Pole's company, and at the time of his accusation have said he was not with pole for friendship, nor familiarity to do him any honour but haunted his company with such other persons as meant no ill to the Kings majesty or his Realm doubtless this law should of ⟨image 32⟩right and equity condemn him (nether for friendship, nether other cause no man should use his company) Doubtless as the Kings majesty and every other prince knoweth it to be dangerous daily to suffer his subjects in the company of his traitorous Enemies so God knew right well what danger it was to suffer man his creature to have company with those idols and therefore said thou shalt nether worship them nor make them. All the princes of there the hath not had so many subjects betrayed and made traitors by there Enemies, as God hath lost souls by the means of images I make all the world judge that knoweth the truth. It is so childish an opinion to say that images may be suffered in the church so they be not honoured, that it needeth no probation at all the gentiles that Paul speaketh of, Roman. 1. knew right ⟨image 32⟩
