and so long to wink for a little lucre; specially if it be ungodliness, and also seem unto you ungodliness?  These be two things, so oft to seek mere images, and sometime to visit the relicks of saints.  And yet, as in those there may be much ungodliness committed, so there may here some superstition be hid, if that sometime we chance to visit pigs’ bones instead of saints’ relicks, as in time past it hath chanced, I had almost said, in England.  Then this is too great a blindness, a darkness too sensible, that these should be so commended in sermons of some men, and preached to be done after such manner, as though they could not be evil done; which, notwithstanding, are such, that neither God nor man commandeth them to be done.  No, rather, men commanded them either not to be done at all, or else more slowlier and seldomer to be done, forasmuch as our ancestors made this constitution:  “We command the priests that they oft admonish the people, and in especial women, that they make no vows but after long deliberation, consent of their husbands and counsel of the priest.”  The church of England in time past made this constitution.  What saw they that made this decree?  They saw the intolerable abuses of images.  They saw the perils that might ensue of going on pilgrimage.  They saw the superstitious difference that men made between image and image.  Surely, somewhat they saw.  The constitution is so made, that in manner it taketh away all such pilgrimages.  For it so plucketh away the abuse of them, that it leaveth either none or else seldom use of them.  For they that restrain making vows for going of pilgrimage, restrain also pilgrimage; seeing that for the most part it is seen that few go on pilgrimage but vow-makers, and such as by promise bind themselves to go.  And when, I pray you, should a man’s wife go on pilgrimage, if she went not before she had well debated the matter with herself, and obtained the consent of her husband, being a wise man, and were also counselled by a learned priest so to do?  When should she go far off to these famous images?  For this the common people of England think to be going on pilgrimage; to go to some dead and notable image out of town, that is to say, far from their house.  Now if your forefathers made this constitution, and yet thereby did nothing, the abuses every day more and more increased, what is left for you to do?  Brethren and fathers, if ye purpose to do any thing, what should ye sooner do, than to take utterly away these deceitful and juggling images; or else, if ye know any other mean to put away abuses, to shew it, if ye intend to remove abuses?  Methink it should be grateful and pleasant to you to mark the earnest mind of your forefathers, and to look upon their desire where they say in their constitution, “We command you,” and not, “We counsel you.”  How have we been so long a-cold, so long slack in setting forth so wholesome a precept of the church of England, where we be so hot in all things that
