XXVI. Ib. [That either it was a sin to put Pictures in the Geneva Bibles, and a sin to have our Dutch Chimney bricks which contain all the history of the Gospel, or any other Image of Christ crucified wherever, or once to see such a Picture; or else it is a sin to have any holy affection stirred up in our hearts by seeing it: so that though all things are sanctified and pure to the pure, and I may excite holy affections when I see but a worm or flower, or any creature, or a house, or any work of man, yea when I see the sins of the wicked, I may stir up thankfulness for grace; yet if I see in a Chimney piece, or a Geneva Bible, or else-where, the Image of Christ crucified, it is a sin to excite holy affections thereupon; Though the twenty one Cases which I have named as unlawful to use an Image in, be every one observed (as the Cases of danger, scandal and all the rest.)
