13 But Images ought not to be set in the Churches (no not those that are historical truly) as is proved by two arguments drawn from the unprofitableness and uncomeliness thereof. Augustin saith that images do more avail to bow down an unhappy soul by this that they have mouths,1 eyes, ears, and feet, then to amend it by this that they neither speak nor see, nor hear nor go:2 and therefore John willed us to beware not only of worshipping of Images, but only of images themselves.
