She worfhips images, that is, the places Business the images of Chrift and his Saints in ther Churches, and refpects them, as we do the ima ges of Moles and Aaron, which are commonly placed, one on each fide the Ten Command, ments, at the head of our Communion-Table; Ford or as Mofes, Aaron, and the Children oracl did the two images of Angels, at whofe feet Mofes placed the Ark and Ten Commandments, and where Mofes, and Aaron, and all the Chil dren of Ifrael turned their faces when they prayed. Why, this is ftrange, that Mofes, a little before, broke the tone tables, on which of AL . Almighty God bad wrote the Ten Commandments, because when he came down from the mountain, be faw Aaron's calf, and the Children of Ifrael worshipping it, fhould now make two great images of Angels, and place the other Ta bles, the Almighty God had again writ his com mandments upon, at their feet; and this in the molt holy place, where the glory of God was more immediately prefent, vifible to the great terror of Mofes and all the congregation; and what makes the matter more fingular, and puts us to thame, is, that Almighty God ordered Mofes 10 make these two great Images or Angels, and place them for his MAJESTY to reft betwixt, and difplay his glory; this thews plainly, that thefe great refplendent Images, fo richly orna mented and beautified, were more pleasing to his Divine Majelty, than the Ten Commandments, which were laid at their feet; and even the fecond, which we glory in (being of the Iconoclaft herefy) was humbled even against itself, greatly to the Thame and confufion of all us Iconoclafts, or Image - breakers. Another great ftrengthener, to corroborate the religious respect to holy images, and that they by no means come within the intention of the Commandment, be fides the images commanded by Almighty God to Mofes, the Angels and Serpent, he commanded David all these, and fhewed him a pattern or plan of the Temple and other matters relating, which Solomen compleated. Here were, as was ordered David, two great figures or images of Angels, to be placed in like fort, in the molt facred facred and holy place; and thefe very Commandments, with even the Ark and its contents; ordered again in the fame low and humiliating pofture, at the Image's feet; and confirm, what we call Image-worship, the Glory of God, refplendently and gloriously, most visibly rested, as in the Tabernacle refted, betwixt this monftrous large, rich, great grand, refplendent and lovely Images, all bedaubed, neatly covered, and decorated with gold and moft precious ornaments.

There is a molt heavy accufation against the Church of Rome, what Protestants ftigmatize with the execrable application of spiritual idolatry, which is the word Transubstantiation, which is changing a breaden wafer, and a little wine and water, into our Lord Jefus Chrift, when a Popish Priest is pleafed to use our Divine Lord's words, when he confecrated the bread and wine, dat his laft fupper, into his most precious body and blood, and fed his Apoftles, commanding them, and confequently their fucceffors, the Priefthood, to do the fame. This most adorable facrament is fet down in the different Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, not in figure and faith only, but as our Father Luther/wellsobferves, really, truly and substantially. Our Saviour's words, as the fame Father has it, is exprefs, and admits no doubt; therefore the man that doubts is damned: He curfed several, particularly the Calvinifts, that doubted. Our Lord, in the 6th chapter of St. John, declares, that he is really in the Bleffed Sacrament) and St. Paul, in the aft of Corinthians, declares, he received of our Lord, that the night he was be trayed, ordained this facrament in the wordsmentioned in the Gospelser He then says, Whofo ever fhall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of " F 2 the ( the Lord unworthily, thall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord; for he that eateth and drinkefli unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himfelf, not difcerning the body of the Lord.
