very_a nose_n of_o wax_n you_o may_v turn_v it_o any_o way_n they_o tell_v we_o of_o our_o division_n among_o ourselves_o it_o be_v a_o wonder_n to_o see_v how_o they_o interferre_v and_o strike_v one_o on_o another_o in_o the_o point_n of_o worship_v of_o image_n it_o be_v hard_o to_o say_v what_o they_o teach_v but_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o thus_o much_o isolius_n the_o jesuit_n say_v this_o be_v the_o constant_a opinion_n of_o the_o divine_n of_o our_o church_n that_o image_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v with_o the_o same_o worship_n that_o be_v due_a to_o he_o who_o image_n it_o be_v this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o thomas_n of_o aquine_n who_o they_o make_v a_o saint_n this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o all_o his_o follower_n this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o nauclantus_n a_o bishop_n in_o italy_n upon_o roman_n 1._o we_o do_v not_o say_v he_o worship_n before_o a_o image_n as_o some_o man_n be_v wont_v casual_o to_o speak_v but_o we_o worship_v the_o image_n itself_o and_o that_o with_o the_o same_o worship_n that_o be_v due_a to_o he_o who_o image_n it_o be_v peter_n precavaria_n a_o great_a professor_n of_o divinity_n in_o spain_n say_v this_o doctrine_n be_v the_o only_a true_a and_o pious_a doctrine_n agreeable_a to_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n he_o allege_v nineteen_o of_o the_o special_a schoolman_n that_o all_o be_v of_o this_o opinion_n beside_o himself_o we_o take_v this_o then_o to_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o image_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v with_o the_o same_o worship_n that_o be_v due_a to_o he_o who_o image_n it_o be_v they_o that_o have_v travel_v into_o foreigne_a part_n have_v find_v that_o the_o practice_n of_o that_o church_n be_v as_o bad_a as_o these_o theorem_n confess_v by_o some_o of_o the_o modest_a sort_n of_o they_o that_o their_o people_n be_v grow_v to_o a_o kind_n of_o piety_n that_o do_v not_o differ_v much_o from_o impiety_n you_o will_v say_v it_o if_o you_o consider_v first_o the_o image_n itself_o then_o the_o worship_n that_o be_v give_v to_o that_o image_n and_o then_o the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o that_o worship_n consider_v first_o the_o image_n themselves_o what_o difference_n can_v you_o find_v in_o the_o image_n between_o the_o popish_a image_n and_o the_o image_n of_o the_o gentile_n look_v to_o the_o

popish_a image_n look_v to_o the_o outward_a form_n of_o their_o image_n they_o be_v the_o very_a same_o the_o gentile_n image_n be_v the_o work_n of_o man_n hand_n they_o have_v eye_n and_o can_v not_o see_v they_o have_v ear_n and_o can_v not_o hear_v they_o have_v mouth_n and_o can_v not_o speak_v they_o have_v hand_n and_o can_v not_o work_v they_o have_v foot_n and_o can_v not_o walk_v
