Besides, it is easie for the Romane Church, to keepe her children from beleeuing that Images be Gods, or true li∣uing [ D] things; or that any diuinitie or diuine vertue resides in them, as may be prooued (conuincingly in my iudgement) by experience had of her power in this kind about a point more difficile. For what may seeme more euident, than that a consecrated Host is bread, of which foure sences, sight, feeling, smell, tast, giue in euidence, as of bread, no lesse verily than any other, so farre as they can discerne? and yet so potent is the Word, and doctrine of the Church, groun∣ded [ E] on generall Councells, declaring the word of God for Transubstantiation, as Catholikes denying their sences, be∣leeue assuredly, that what seemeth bread, is not bread,

but the true body of our Sauiour, vnder the formes and ac∣cidents [ A] of bread. Now can any man with any shew of the least probabilitie in the world, thinke that it is difficile for this Church, to persuade her children that the Image of Christ is not a liuing thing, or bath any Godhead or liuing diuine power lodged in it, as plaine Scriptures shew, and generall Catholike Councells (particularly the Tridentine and Nicene) define; which doctrine neither reason nor sence can dislike? or shall the sole similitude of members cor∣respondent [ B] vnto humane liuing members, which Images haue, so much preuaile in Catholike minds, so to bow downe their thoughts to base Idolatrie, as to thinke a stocke or stone to be God, and that the Church shall not be able by teaching, to erect them to a more high and diuine appre∣hension, being able to make them firmely beleeue a consecra∣ted Hoast is not really bread, against the Iudgement that they would otherwise frame, vpon most notorious euiden∣cie [ C] of sence?
