Isaiah44:19
Ver. 19. Shall I fall down to the ſtock of a tree?] This the beſotted Papiſts do to this day, by the command of the Council of Trent. But before that Council ſo decreed it, Ludovicus Vives (a learned Papiſt) confeſſed, that there could no other difference be found of Paganiſh and Popiſh worſhip before Images, but only this, that names and titles were altered; viz. we cry Jehovah, and they Jupiter: we Mary, they Diana; they Minerva, we Katharine, &c. And here I bethink me of what Luther on the ninth Commandement writeth of a baſe and beaſtly woman, Quae ut falleret ejuſmodi ſuperſtitionis quendam fatuum cultorem, pubim ſuam totondit, & illi porrexit, ſuadens quod eſſent capilli S. Catharinae trans mare advecti. Credidit ille cuculus, & pro reliquiis oſculandos praebuit & venerandos: & ecce quid fit? caepit etiam miracula operari pubes illa turpitudinis.
