He trusteth, that men know the Image from the Saint. I ask M. More why God did hide Moses body & divers 1other. The Jews would have known that Moses had not been God, 2and that Moses bones had not been Moses. And they knew that the brazen serpent was not God, and that yt golden 3calves were not God, & that wood and stone were not God. But Sir there is ever a false imagination by. The world because they can not worship God in the spirit, to repent of evil and to love the law, and to believe that he will help at all need, therefore run they unto their own imaginations, and think that God for such service as they do to Images, will fulfil their worldly desires: for godly can they nought desire. Now God is a spirit and will be worshipped in his word 4only which is spiritual, and will have no bodily service. And the ceremonies of the old law he set up, to signify his word only, and to keep the people in mind of his testament. So that he which observeth any ceremony of any other purpose is an Idolater, that is, an Image server.

Now God is a spirite and wilbe worshipped in hys woorde
