Religion
Book III, 30: On Idolatry
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book III
Religion
Can common madnes find a thing, that's more
Repugnant to the very Lawes of Nature;
That the Creators Image should adore
The senslesse Image of a sensuall creature!
If such be Gods; if such our helpers be,
O, what are Men! How more then Beasts are we!
