* 1.1ANd for so muche as it concerneth the substance of the true seruice of God, séeing that he is a spirite, he requireth al∣so to be serued and honored in spirite and veritie, and not in visible things, such as are material and corruptible, as are ima∣ges, alters, temples, pilgrimages, and o∣ther suche lyke superstitions and idola∣tries inuēted by man. For if his good plea∣sure were, that the auncient ceremonies of the lawe should be abolished in the cō∣ming of Iesus Christ, of whom they were figures to bring men to this true spiri∣tuall seruice, it is easy thē to iudge how he mought endure that men shuld forge new ceremonies, thorow great presumption, according to their owne fantasie, to serue hym after their pleasure, and not af∣ter his.
