The minor (which only needs proofe,) is evinced; because Pictures, signes, or images do of their own nature, (if often used, and honoured) excite to aknowledge and love of those things, which they represent, and it is the very esence of an image, to repre∣sent another thing. 'Twas for this end the Church of God hath in all ages mad artifi∣ciall pictures signes or images, of the nativi∣ty, miracles, life and death of Christ and his Saints, and set them up in Churches and ho∣ly places, teaching u to honour them with a relative honour or veneration, not for the matter they are made of, but for the sacred things they represent, and in as much as they represent such things being now absent, by sensible and present objects. And this is therefore called a relative honour, because it relates immediatly to the things represented, and either immediatly, or mediately to God himselfe, as to our chiefest good, and last end.
