But Learned, and Wise men think, that the invention hereof came first from the Heathens, and Infidels, that knew not God. Thus it is written in the Book of Wisdom: 1Vanitas hominum inuenit artes istas, ad tenationem animae, & decipulam insipientium. The Vanity of men first found out this Art, to the tentation of the s•ule, and to the deceiving of the unwise. S. Cyprian saith, Ad defunctorum vultus per Imaginem derinendos expressa sunt Simulachra. 2Inde posteris facta sunt sacta, quae primitùs fuerant assumpta solatia. Images were first drawn, thereby to keep the countenance of t•e dead in Remembrance.3 Upon occasion thereof things grew at length unto holiness, that at the first were taken only for solace. Therefore S. Ambrose saith, Gentes lignum adorant, 4tanquā Imaginem Dei. The Heathens worship Wood, as the Image of God. And Eregorius the Bishop of Neocesaria, Gentilitas inuentrix, & Caput est Imaginū. 5Heathennesse was the first d••ser, and Head of Images.
