§. 98.
Cath,
Well, Sir; since then Sacred things are otherwise to be regarded, then common and profane; and again, since our Saviour and his Saints may receive testimonies of our Love and Duty, as likewise of Hatred and Scorn, by our very outward behaviour shewed to their Representations; Moreover Since it is that by Repre∣sentations we are put in mind of Persons and things highly condu∣cing to our happiness, and which we cannot without our great pre∣judice neglect or forget; and lastly, Since by them the ignorant also may very commodiously be instructed, and likewise good affections may by them be raised in all our minds; Would you rather forsake the Communion of the Church, then, with her, acknowledg, that due honour and Veneration is to be exhibited to them?
Prot.

Prot.
Be it acknowledged: and proceed.
