Proinde aurum aes argentum ebur lignum et quaecumquae fabricandis idolis materia captatur quis in saeculo posuit nisi saeculi auctor deus? Numquid tamen, ut haec adversus ipsum adorentur? Atquin summa offensa penes ilium idololatria.
Then think of gold, brass, silver, ebony, wood and any other material used for the making of idols'who put them in the world, unless it is God the author of the world? Yet, would you say, He did it that these things may be worshipped against Himself? No! the supreme offence in His eyes is idolatry.
