10. One Argument is yet to be handled, either omitted, or (as the Rejoinder saith) put off unto another place, by the Defendant. The Argument standeth thus: The second Commandment forbiddeth to make unto our selves, the likeness of any thing whatsoever, ⟨p. 297⟩for religious use: as Bucer, Ivel, Fulke, Andrews and Bilson do interpret it.

The Rejoinder answereth, in general, that Religious use, by these fore-named Authors, is taken. 1. For worship to the Image: 2. Worship to God, by the Image: and not simply, that which may any ways confer to the furtherance of Religion.
