that_o the_o image_n be_v proper_o only_o for_o the_o people_n as_o the_o council_n do_v intimate_v and_o the_o people_n almost_o always_o abuse_v they_o as_o the_o most_o sincere_a person_n do_v confess_v the_o image_n therefore_o be_v proper_o only_a for_o those_o who_o abuse_v they_o as_o to_o what_o concern_v relic_n it_o will_v only_o be_v needful_a to_o apply_v hereto_o what_o have_v be_v speak_v in_o general_a and_o in_o particular_a touch_v the_o object_n of_o religious_a worship_n and_o touch_v the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n and_o the_o veneration_n that_o be_v give_v to_o image_n for_o as_o to_o the_o doctrine_n we_o have_v almost_o the_o same_o reason_n against_o all_o these_o different_a object_n of_o worship_n and_o as_o to_o the_o practice_n all_o the_o world_n know_v that_o there_o be_v yet_o far_o great_a abuse_n commit_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o all_o that_o they_o call_v relic_n of_o saint_n than_o in_o that_o of_o image_n what_o we_o have_v in_o particular_a touch_v relic_n may_v be_v reduce_v unto_o two_o principal_a head_n the_o first_o that_o neither_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n nor_o the_o catechism_n nor_o the_o bishop_n of_o condom_n say_v that_o relic_n have_v no_o virtue_n nor_o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o place_n confidence_n in_o they_o as_o they_o all_o do_v say_v of_o image_n sanct._n ibid._n the_o havoc_n sanct._n etc._n etc._n de_fw-la cultu_fw-la sanct._n on_o the_o contrary_a the_o council_n teach_v that_o god_n confer_v very_o great_a grace_n by_o mean_n of_o relic_n and_o the_o catechism_n speak_v strong_a and_o more_o open_o that_o god_n make_v use_v of_o they_o to_o heal_v the_o lame_a and_o the_o blind_a to_o raise_v the_o dead_a and_o to_o exorcise_v devil_n and_o to_o drive_v they_o out_o of_o the_o body_n of_o live_a man_n by_o which_o passage_n the_o council_n and_o the_o catechism_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n recommend_v the_o worship_n of_o relic_n above_o that_o of_o image_n for_o the_o virtue_n which_o they_o will_v have_v believe_v to_o be_v in_o relic_n and_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n themselves_z in_o some_o measure_n overthrow_n the_o principal_a reason_n which_o they_o allege_v to_o justify_v the_o worship_n of_o image_n which_o be_v that_o they_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o virtue_n in_o they_o as_o for_o the_o bishop_n of_o condom_n he_o shelter_n himself_o from_o all_o these_o difficulty_n in_o not_o say_v whether_o there_o be_v or_o be_v not_o any_o virtue_n in_o relic_n and_o here_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n which_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v touch_v relic_n in_o particular_a that_o the_o bishop_n of_o condom_n seem_v not_o to_o consider_v they_o but_o as_o mark_n of_o reverence_n and_o affection_n which_o be_v bear_v for_o the_o person_n we_o love_v and_o honour_n from_o whence_o he_o draw_v this_o consequence_n that_o if_o god_n 38._o p._n 36_o 37_o &_o 38._o all_o jealous_a as_o he_o be_v of_o the_o love_n of_o man_n do_v not_o look_v upon_o we_o as_o if_o we_o divide_v betwixt_o he_o and_o the_o creature_n when_o we_o love_v our_o neighbour_n for_o his_o sake_n the_o same_o god_n howsoever_o jealous_a of_o the_o respect_n of_o believer_n do_v not_o behold_v they_o as_o if_o they_o divide_v the_o worship_n which_o they_o owe_v unto_o he_o alone_o when_o they_o honour_v for_o the_o respect_n which_o they_o bear_v unto_o he_o those_o who_o he_o himself_o have_v honour_v and_o in_o the_o end_n he_o conclude_v that_o these_o outward_a mark_n of_o reverence_n not_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a the_o church_n may_v extend_v more_o or_o less_o these_o exterior_a practice_n according_a to_o the_o diversity_n of_o time_n and_o place_n not_o desire_v that_o her_o child_n shall_v be_v servile_o subject_a unto_o visible_a thing_n all_o the_o world_n may_v see_v how_o this_o discourse_n be_v turn_v and_o sweeten_v and_o how_o it_o seem_v to_o open_v a_o way_n to_o some_o reformation_n but_o if_o these_o opinion_n be_v sincere_a and_o

that_o thereby_o their_o heart_n cleave_v unto_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v before_o their_o eye_n they_o become_v more_o negligent_a of_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o have_v recourse_n to_o

the_o very_a term_n for_o as_o for_o we_o it_o be_v our_o unmovable_a foundation_n that_o god_n alone_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o regilion_n and_o that_o there_o ought_v not_o to_o

christ_n and_o which_o be_v not_o thing_n inanimate_a or_o the_o dead_a part_n of_o live_a member_n as_o be_v the_o relic_n for_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n for_o which_o the_o council_n will_v have_v man_n to_o have_v a_o veneration_n for_o they_o but_o who_o do_v not_o know_v that_o even_o in_o this_o love_n for_o our_o neighbour_n there_o may_v be_v a_o excess_n and_o that_o god_n may_v be_v

the_o worship_n of_o saint_n of_o relic_n and_o of_o image_n if_o the_o bishop_n of_o condom_n will_v do_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v sincere_a and_o solid_a if_o he_o will_v cure_v the_o disease_n

a_o good_a part_n of_o what_o we_o condemn_v
those_o which_o he_o have_v already_o accomplish_v for_o our_o salvation_n wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o if_o he_o give_v unto_o every_o one_o of_o we_o the_o proper_a

he_o offer_v they_o as_o a_o sacrifice_n and_o a_o little_a afterward_o he_o add_v our_o adversary_n have_v very_o well_o see_v that_o simple_a figure_n and_o simple_a sign_n of_o the_o body_n and_o

will_v not_o be_v accuse_v to_o deny_v this_o real_a participation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o their_o sacrament_n behold_v here_o the_o reason_n that_o he_o say_v have_v force_v we_o to_o approach_v unto_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o christian_n be_v then_o either_o very_o ingrateful_a or_o very_o difficult_a to_o be_v content_v if_o they_o be_v not_o satisfy_v that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v

the_o remission_n of_o their_o sin_n the_o opinion_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n add_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v present_a be_v very_o far_o from_o better_a set_v forth_o his_o death_n
