Nees credendum est honorem quem aliquis prae alio sanctis habet
sanctos ad ei inserviendum reddere alacriores; sunt enim ambitione
vacui, nec suum sonorem sed Dei gloriam et nostrum bonum expe
tunt, et quicquid ad id conferre videbunt sua sponte pronobis ro,
gabunt. Otaque absonum est credere, Beatam virginem illis magio
favere, qui eam elegere patronam quam aliis qui pntrocinium
sancti minuo fortasse potentis elegere. Falia a sanctissimis
illio mentibus aliena sunt. Nisi forte 3. hanuarium iratum
Neapolitanis fuisse pubamus quod gravissimo pestis tempore
alium patronum Kaverium ei super induxere.
Ex hris satis patet non magnum fructum ex hoc peculiari
Sanctorum et imaginum cultu percipi. Luanta autem damna
ex abusu ejus nata sint, tum ex superioribus intelligi potest
tum ex hio paucis apparebit.
Damna primaria quatuor numerabo: superstitionem invalescentem
in popello rudi ipsius Ecclesia Romana; Atheismi aut certe Liber,
tiniomi propagationem in ingeniosioribus; continuationem schis,
matis inter Pontificios et protestantes iscandalum, Judaeorum et
amissionem orientis per Mahometanos.
Superstitionem in rudi popello invales cere ille judicabit, qui con
sideranerit varias religiosorum inprimis praxet miraculorum innus
merabilium et saepe ineptorum relationes, immensum lucrum quod
callidi homines ex his colligunt tot superbias structuras magnifica
opera, congestasque opes quae saepe non nisi his artibus debentur.
varias sodalitates, et privilegia spiritualia, his Sodalitatibus
concessa, etabiis, qui eas amplificare cupiunt saepe conficta
sodalitates
quaram hstoliballis
Ut scapularis, Rosarii, aliasque id genus in quibus me res valde
absurdas videre memini. Sunt quaedum societates, quae jactant reve,
lationem D. Virginis, promitientis, qui eam ingressus fuerit non
moriturum in mortali. Unde qanta peccandi licentia sequatur
