IESVIT.
Finally, I dare say, That vulgar and ordinarie Prote∣stants in England, by reading of the Bible in their mother tongue, are in greater danger to beleeue, that God is a body, and hath all the parts thereof, euen as hath a man, than [ C] any the simplest Catholicke is to thinke an Image to bee God. This is prooued to be likely, because it is impossible to conceiue God otherwise than in the forme of a corporall thing: and (as the Oratour saith) we easily flatter ourselues to thinke our shape the fairest, and so the fittest for God: Wherefore it is easie for men to assent to this error, vnto which the best and greatest wits that euer were, Tertul∣lian, and S. Augustine, whilest he was a Manichee did as∣sent: [ D] much more easily therefore may ignorant people be de∣ceiued herein, through weakenesse of conceit, and inclinati∣on of nature, when they read the Scripture describing God, as hauing the forme and shape of man, with head, face, eyes, eares, hands, feet. On the contrarie side, neuer any Christian did teach, that the Image of Christ is true∣ly Christ, or a liuing thing; nor euer did any man or wo∣man, except some few, and these verie simple and [ E] sencelesse, (if such Histories be true) fall into such foo∣lish imagination.
