Some religious worship which is more than civil, yet not that which is due to God, such Bellarmine giveth them for themselves properly, and calleth it [Greek or Hebrew]. 2. A divine worship due to what is typified, such many give to the Images of God and Christ, this they call [Greek or Hebrew], this Bellarmine giveth them not properly, but per accidens & prop•er aliud, though the first he maketh properly to terminate on the Image, yet Aquinas and his followers, Part 3.9. 25.3, 4. giveth the Images of Christ, of Mary, and of the Cross [Greek or Hebrew] properly so called.
