  An appendix unto the homily against images in churches, by Edm: Gurnay Bachelour in Divinity, and minister of Gods Word at Harpley in Norfolk

summary:
  ●f Gazements sake ; yet were ● wisdome in Governours to ●ndescend thereunto ? yea , ●●ere naturall Governours ●ve also in that respect bin ●iser then so ; witnesse those ●Lacedemonians which would ●t suffer any kinde of Ima●es to stand in their Senate-●ouse , only for fear lest they ●●ould grow remisse in their ● will consultations by the ●ceans ; witnesse also those ●uropians , which not only ●●●mitted no Images to stand ● their Temples , but also ●ould scarce indure the com●on light to shine into them : ●hereof the deviser of that Common-wealth gives this honest reason ( the goodnesse of his wit making him forget the qualitie of his Religion ) f quia parciore & veluti dubia luce intendi animos & riligionem putab●nt . AN APPENDIX UNTO THE Homily against IMAGES IN Churches NEither an Idlenesse nor yet a rashnesse can it be esteemed in any under the Government of the Church of England to write or speak against the Images ; the pronenesse of the Times to advance them , making it rather an act of necessity then of idlenesse to oppose them ; and the expresnesse of our Church doctrine against them making ●t rather an act of Authority then of rashnesse utterly to deface them .

  Great is Diana of the Ephesians, or, The original of idolatry together with the politick institution of the gentiles sacrifices.

summary:
  What have Sacrifices to do with sins ? could none but their unenlightned Priests make peace between God and man , when sins were committed ? was there no address to be made to the Divine Majesty , but by their Intercession ? were they the Courtiers of Heaven , and must they be first bribed before men could receive a pardon for their sins ? an inward and hearty Repentance avail'd nothing amongst them . Sect. I. Before Religion , that is to say , Sacrifices , Rites , Ceremonies , pretended Revelations , and the like , were invented amongst the Heathens , there was no worship of God but in a rational way , whereof the Philosophers pretending to be Masters , did to this end , not only teach Virtue and Piety , but were also themselves great examples of it in their Lives and Conversations ; whom the People chiefly follow'd , till they were seduced by their crafty and covetous Sacerdotal Order ; who , instead of the said Virtue and Piety , introduced Fables and Fictions of their own coining ; perswading the Vulgar , that as men could not by any natural abilities of their own , know the best manner of serving God , so it was necessary that He should reveal the same to his Priests in some extraordinary manner , for the better instruction of the People .

  A brief answer to the many calumnies of Dr. Henry More, in his pretended Antidote against idolatry. Shewing that no prudent person can, upon any rational ground, be deterr'd from returning to the communion of St. Peter's chair, by any of the doctors best and strongest evidences to the contrary.

summary:
  Only first I observe , that when Protestants read this their Second Commandment , Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven Image , or any likeness , that is in Heaven above , or that is in the water , under the earth ; Thou shalt not bow down thy self to them , nor serve them ▪ ) and withall are informed that Papists make Pictures and Images of Christ , place them in their Churches , put off their Hats , and bow the Knee before them , presently they endite the practise within their brests as guilty of idolatry ; most inconsiderately , no less than uncharitably , charging Idolatry upon the practice of the Church , for doing those self-same things , which God himself commanded the Jews to do , to whom he gave this very Precept . God himself commanded the making of Images , even after he had given the Second Commandment of the Decalogue : Ergo , Papists can make no Images , but they are Idolaters .

summary:
  And Caninius in general pronounces , Alia sunt innumerabilia quae deperdunt G : which implies it to be but a weak melting Consonant , and such as easily degenerates into Y , and , as it may be placed , is easily quite lost . Which argues that the sound of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 are near enough for paronomasticall Allusion in any indifferent man's judgement whatsoever . And that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is the same that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , besides that common Analogie of making nomina parasyllaba ( as they are called ) from the fifth Declension , as from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , there is an example exquisitely answering this of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , namely , 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 .
