Certainly if this Paragraph were not before the Readers eyes to peruse, he would think the Doctor a man of very soul and obscene lan∣guage. If it be the language of the holy men of God in the Scripture, If it be not more than becomes a modest Prophet, a modest St. John, Apoc. 17. 2, 4. a modest Jeremy or Ezeki••l to compare Idolatry to whoredom in broader terms than I have done, certainly what I have said here is not more than becomes a modest Doctor. But it is the Policy of my Adversary to fling away with a seeming disdain from what he knows not how to Answer. For this plain Similitude pinches hard and carries along with it a demonstration, that the Council of Trent have not taken away Idolatry from their way of honouring of Images, but confirmed it. He slips by my eighth Para∣graph also, as conscious it is too true what I ut∣ter in that similtude likewise. And I hope he now sees more clear than ever, that the pr••••ence of honouring Images is quite to be cast out of the Church, there being no good sense to be made of it any way.
A brief reply to a late answer to Dr. Henry More his Antidote against idolatry Shewing that there is nothing in the said answer that does any ways weaken his proofs of idolatry against the Church of Rome, and therefore all are bound to take heed how they enter into, or continue in the communion of that church as they tender their own salvation.
