Question 112 · The third Part is of Man’s Thankfulness

But may not Images be tolerated in Churches, which may serve for Books unto the common People?

No, for ’tis not seemly that we should be wiser then God, who will have his Church to be taught by the lively preaching of his Word, and not with dumb Images.
