ALl Divine Adoration of a meere Creature is Idolatry; hereunto accord these sayings ofk Antiquity: No Ca∣tholike Christian doth worship, as a Divine Power, that which is created of God. Or thus, I feare to worship earth, lest hee con∣demne [ 40] mee, who created both Heaven and earth. Or thus, If I should worship a Creature, I could not be named a Christian. It were a tedious superfluity, in a matter so universally confessed by your selves, and all Christians, to use Witnesses unnecessa∣rily. Wee adde the Assumption.
