Q. What kind of Images are here forbidden, to be worshipped?
Q. What kind of Images are heere forbidden, to bee worshipped?
A. All kinds, whether such as are made with mans hands, of which Isaiah speaketh, saying, One piece of wood 1is cast into the fire, and another of the same tree is made an Idol: or such as in themselves are the good creatures of God; as those which Hosea speaks of, saying, They worship their gold and silver. Yea, of whatsoever things it may be said, that they have eyes & see not, mouths and speak not, ears and hear not, noses and smell not, feet and go not; unto them is this worship forbidden to be performed. Although therefore the Papists worship not Jupiter, Mars, and such like Heathen Idols, but the holy Saints (as they say) in, and by their Images; yet by that, which hath been said, it appears, that even that worship of theirs, is impious and abominable Idolatry.
