M. Harding doubteth not, to derive the first Invention of his Images from God him self, even as rightly, and with as good Faith, as he deriveth his Mass from Christ, and his Apostles: or his Holy Water from the Prophet Elisha: or the Cardinals hat from S. Hierome. Onles perhaps he will reason thus: God saith,1 •howe shalt not make unto thee self any graven Image, nor the Likeness of any thing: And, 2Accursed be the man, that maketh •n Image: And, Confounded be all they, that worship Images. 3Ergo, God commanded Images to be made. If he can avouch his Images by such warrants, then doubtless God him self was the first inventor of Images.
