What is the reason of this?
What is thereason of this?
(That Commandment forbiddeth Images) Because your superstitious worshippers of all men are strengthened by the tradition of their Fathers. Oh our Fathers did thus and thus, and shall we be wiser then our Fore-fathers? We have now a company of up-start men, and they will be wiser then their Ancestors. Because superstitious worshippers harden themselves so much in that way upon their Fathers, therefore it is, that in that very Commandment against making and worshipping of Images, God threateneth to visit the sin of the fathers upon the children, and in no other.
