ANSWER.

No testimonies can be so cleere, which Sophisters will not labour to peruert, and elude. Otherwise what is clearer against Image worship, than the words of the Councell of Elliberis and Epiphanius? It is lost labour to contest with men, Qui sola per∣tinacia, pugnaces neruos, contra perspicuam veritatem intendunt (as Saint Augustine speaketh) which vpon sole pertinacie, bend their vttermost force to gainesay perspicous veritie. First, the Coun∣cell [ C] of Elliberis is so cleere against Image worship, that many Pontificians of great note, acknowledge the same, and therupon condemne, or eleuate the authoritie of that Councell. a 1.1 Second∣ly; If that Councell forbad the being of Images in Churches, then it did much more hold the worship of them to be vnlaw∣full, but the beginning of the Canon apparently shewes that: Placuit in Ecclesijs picturas esse non debere, It 〈◊〉〈◊〉 vs (of the Councell) that Pictures may not be in Churches.
