All the difference which he maketh is, “that no true worship can be properly occasioned by an image, which is a doctor of lies, teaching nothing of God, but falsehood and vanities; but the blessed sacrament being instituted by Christ, to call to our remembrance his death, &c., gives us, so oft as we receive it, a most powerful and pregnant occasion of thanksgiving and praise.” Dr Burges, intermeddling with the same difference-making, will not have the sacraments, which are images of God’s making and institution, to be compared with images made by the lust of men.
