1Object. 3. Solomon by the commandment of God set up Images of Cherubins, Lyons, Oxen, Palm-trees, &c. Therefore Images may be tolerated also in our Temples. Ans. The examples are unlike. §12The figures and resemblances of divers things and living creatures, as Oxen, Lions, Palm-trees, Cherubins, and such like, painted in the Temple of Solomon, were warranted by the word of God, and by his special commandment. But the word of God is flat against those Images which the Papists have in their Churches. §23The Images which were painted in Solomons Temple, were such as could not easily be drawn by any man into a superstitious abuse. But the Images of God, and of the Saints, not only may easily be used to superstition, but (alas) have been a long time hitherto the cause of too too filthy and shameful Idolatry in Popery. §34God had this cause for which he would have those Images to be painted in the Temple, that namely, they should be types of spiritual things. But this cause is now taken away by Christ. Therefore our Images cannot be patronised by this example: rather we are to obey the general commandment, whereby we are forbidden to set up such Images, which, or in such a place where they may be a scandal to the members, or enemies of the Church.
