The noble and Godly Emperors Valens and Theodosius made a law,1 that no man should make or cause to be made any Image of our Saviour Christ, neither by painting, nor by graving, nor yet by any other way, but that wheresoever any such Image should be found, it should utterly be taken away and destroyed. And whosoever would attempt to do contrary to this their act, they appointed certain grievous punishments to be executed upon the transgressors and breakers thereof, as a law grounded both upon the word of God, and upon the decrees and constitutions of the most worthy ancient Emperors and reverend bishops. Petrus Crinitus. Lib. 9. de honestae disciplina.
