An other reasoneth thus, Sicut audivimus, ita vidimus, As we have heard, so have we seen: Ergo, there must be Images, to look upon. An other saith, ¹Mirabilis Deus in Sanctis suis: God is marvellous in his Saints: Ergo,² the Church must be decked with Pictures. An other saith, No man lighteth a candle, and putteth it under a bushel: Ergo, Images must be set upon the Altar. Of all these, ³and other like Authorities Isidorus concludeth, Ergo, A Church is nothing worth, onles it be full freight with Images.
