Epist. Ded. 1. yea, Altars too, of which he writes thus in his 3. Sermon upon Ionah, before King Edward 6. An. 1551. p. 81. If questio… now be asked, in there then no Sacrifices left to b… done of Christian people? yea truely …ut none other then such as ought to be done without Altars: and they be of 3. sorts: The first is the sacrifices of thankes-giving. Psal. 51. 17, 19. Amos 4.5. Heb, 13.15. Hos. 14 2. The 2. is benevolence and liberality to the poore, Mich. 6.8. 1 Cor. 16.1, 2, 2 Cor. 8.19. Hebr. 13.16. The third kinde of sacrifice is the mortifying of our owne bodies, and to dye from sinne. Rom. 12.1. Matth. …1. Luk. 14. If we study not daily to offer these sacrifices to God, we be no Christian men. Seeing Christian men have no other sacrifices then these, which may and ought to be done without Altars, there should among Christians be no Altars. And therefore is was not without the great wisedome & knowledge of God, that Christ, his Apostles and the Primitive Church lacked Altars, for they knew that the use of Altars then was taken away. It were well then that it might please the Magistrates to turne the Altars into Tables, according to the first institution of Christ, to take away the false perswasion of the people they have of sacrifices to be done upon the Altars. For as long as the Altars remaine, both the ignorant people, and the ignorant and evill perswaded Priest will dreame alway…s of sa…rifice. Therefore were it best that the Magistrates remove all the monuments and tokens of Idolatry and superstition. Then should the true Religion of God sooner take place, &c. & Sermon 8. f. 150. A great shame it is for a Noble King, Emperor or Magistrate contrary to Gods Word to detaine or keepe from the Devill or his ministers, any of their goods or treasure, as the Candles, Images, Crosses, Vestm…s, Altars; for if they be kept in the Church as things ind…ffe…ent, at lengt… they w…ll be maintained as things necessary. And doe not wee see his words prove true? Against the making of Gods Image and s…ffring or erecting Im…ges in Churches. pag 902. m. of which hee writes thus in his… Declaration of the second Commandement. London 1588. fol. 29. to 32. This Commandement …ath 3. parts: The first taketh from us all liberty and licence, that we in no case represent or manifest the God invisible & incomprehensible with any Figur… or Image, or represent him unto our sences that cannot be comprehended by the wit of man nor Angell. The s…cond part forbiddeth to honour any Image. The third part sheweth us, that it is no need to present God to us by any Image. Moses giveth … reason of the first part, why no Image should be made, Deut. 4.15. Remember, saith … to the people, that the Lord spake to thee in the vale of Oreb. thou …eardest a voyce, but sawest no manner of si…ilitude, but onelyonly a voyce be…rdest thou. Esay c. 40.18. & 449 &c. diligent…y sheweth what an absurdity and undecent thing it is to proph…re the Majestie of God incom…reh…nsible with a little blocke or stone; a spirit, with an Image. The like doth Paul in the 17. o… th… Acts. The text therefore forbiddeth all mann…r of Images that are made to expresse or represent Almighty God. The second par… forbiddeth to honor any Image made: The first word honour signifieth, to bow head, legge, knee, or any part of the body unto them, as all those do… (pray marke it) that say with good conscience they may bee suffred in the Church of Christ, &c. Seeing th…n there is no Cōmandement in any of both Testaments, to have Images, but as you see the contrary; and also the universall Catholike and holy Church never used Images, as the writings of the Apostles and Prophets testifie, it is but an Ethnike v…rity and Gentile Idolatry, to say God and his Saints be honoured in them, when as all Histories testifi…, that in manner …or th… space of 500. yeeres after Christs Ascention, when the doctrine of the Gospell was most sincerely preached, was … Image used, &c. Therefore S. Ioh… biddeth us not onelyonly beware of honouring of Images, but of the Images themselves. Thou shalt finde the originall of Images in no place of Gods Word, but in the writings of the Gentiles and Infidels, or in such that more followed their owne opinion and superstitious imaginations, than the authority of Gods Word. Herodorus saith, that the AEgyptians were the first that made Images to represent their gods. And as the Gentiles …ashioned their gods with what figures they lusted, so doe the Christians. To declare God to be strong they made …im in the forme of a Lion, to be vigilant & diligent, in the forme of a Dog, &c. So doe they that would be accounted Christians, paint God and his Saints, with such pictures as they imagine in their fantasies. God, like an old man w…th a …orie head, as …hough his youth were past, which hath neither beginning nor ending &c. No difference at all bet…eene a Christian man and Gentile in this Idolatry, saving onelyonly the name. For they thought not their Images to be God, but supposed that their Gods would be honoured that wayes, as the Christians doe. I write these things rather in contempt and hatred of this abominable Idolatry then to learne any Eng…ishman the truth, &c. The third part declareth, that it is no n…ed to shew God unto us by Images, and proveth the same with 3. reasons. First, I am the Lord thy God, that loveth thee, helpeth thee, defendeth thee, is present with thee: be…ieve and love m…, so shalt thou have no need to seeke me and my favourable presence in any Image. The second reason: I am a jealous God and cannot suffer thee to love any thing but in me and for me. I cannot suffer to be otherwise honoured than I have taught in my Tables and Testament The 3. reason is, that God revengeth the prophanation of his Divine Majesty, if it be trans…ribed to any creature or Image, and that not only in him that committeth the Idolatry, but also in his posterity in the third and fourth generation, if they follow their Fathers Idolatry. Then to avoyd the ire of God and to obtaine his favour, we must use no Image to honor him with all. Gods Lawes expulseth and putteth Images out of the Church, then no mans lawes should bring them in. All which he thus seconds in his briefe and cleare Confession of the Christian Faith in an 10…. Articles, according to the Order of the Creed of the Apostles. London 1581. Artic. 79. & 87. I believe (write… he) that to the Magistrate it doth appertaine, not onelyonly to have regard unto the Common-wealth, but also unto Ecclesiasticall matters, to take away and to overthrow all Idolatry and false serving of God, and to advance the Kingdome of Christ, to cause the Word of the Gospell every where to be preached, and the same to maintaine unto death: to chasten also and to punish the false pro…hets which leade the poore people after Idols and strange gods, &c. I believe also that the beginning of all Idolatry was the finding out and invention of Images, which a…so were made to the great offence of the soules of men, and are as snares and traps for the feete of the ignorant to make them to …all. Therefore they ought not to bee honoured, served, worshipped, neither to be suffred in the Temples or Churches, where Christian people doe meet together, to heare and understand the Word of God, b…t rather th… same ought utterly to bee taken away and throwne downe, according to the effect of the 2. Comma…dement of God: and that ought to be done …y the common authority of the Magistrate, and not by the private authority of every particular man For the wood of the Gallowes whereby justice is done, is blessed of God, but the Image made by mans hand is accursed of the Lord, and so is he that made it. And therefore we ought to beware of Images above all things. This was this Godly Martyrs faith concerning Images: this was the faith and doctrine of all our pious Martyrs and Prelates in King Henry the 8. King Edward the 6. Queene Maries, and Queene Elizabeths Raignes: this is the authorized doctrine both of the Articles and Homilies of our Church which every English Minister now subscribes to, and is enjoyned for to teach the people as the undoubted truth: Yea this was one of the Articles propounded by Doctor Chambers, to which the reverend Bishop, Iewell, and all other yong Protestant Students in both our Vniversities subscribed, in Edward the 6. and Queene Maries Raigne, Imagines & simulachra non esse in Templis habenda; …osque gloriam Dei imminuere qui vel fuderint vel fabricati fu… rint vel finxerint, vel pinxerint, vel fabricanda & facienda locarint: as Doctor Humfries De Vita & Morte Iuelli. pag. 43. informes us: which I wish our moderne Innovators and Patrons of Images would remember.
