See Calvin.
7. Calvin was alleged in his 52. Sermon on Deut. speaking thus: If we have any drop of good zeal in us, it must needs vex and grieve us, to see the marks and signs of Idolatry: and that we must to the utmost of our power, deface them. The Rejoinder answereth, that he spake this of proper instruments and monuments of Idolatry; and namely of Images. Which we willingly grant except he mean by proper such as never any beside Idolaters, either before, since, or at the same time, did use. And we add, that the Cross is more then a proper instrument of Idolatry: because it is an Idol: Neither hath either the Defend. or Rejoynd. denied, as yet, that it is an Idol. We add also, that mystical Ceremonies, are (in Calvins phrase) Images, either living, such as Gods institutions, or dead, as mens inventions. Inst. lib. 8. cap. 11. sect. 13. Add lastly, that seeing the Def. and Rej. have admitted historical Images, as of the same nature with other mystical Ceremonies (in the former Chapter) it is too late now to distinguish their natures.
