And do not some dote on Images with the Romanists, and others on Imaginations with Factionists, who fall into the heat of contention, the fire of Schism. |

Lactantius says in relation to Images, Dubium non est, quin religio nulla sit, ubicun { que } simulacrum est: Where-ever an Image is (meaning for Worship) there is no Religion; for it robs God of honour, who will not have his glory given to another, nor his praise to graven Images, promulgated by his own holy Law. The Greek Church speaks emphatically, We do not forbid Pictures, the Art is noble, NONLATINALPHABET — but their adoration and worship we detest, as forbidden by the Holy Ghost in holy Scripture, Hab. 2.18, 19. lest we should ignorantly adore Colours, Art, and the Creature instead of our Creator. They worship the Creature (saith S. Paul, Rom. 1.25.) NONLATINALPHABET, besides the Creator, so it should be read: if we worship any Creature besides God, worshipping so, as the worship of him becomes a part of Religion, is a direct Superstition; therefore it is good reason, that the Watchmen who stand upon the Lords Tower, and tell what of the night should decry the darkness of Idolatry and Superstitition, and warn the people, that they may neither be taken into the whirlpools of danger, nor carried down the stream of ungodliness; but walk in the ways of Scripture and Christianity, contending for that Faith which forbids all worship of Images. |
