      And Epiphaniuse reports it to be a hæresy of the Osseni, that they sayd it was no sin etiamsi simulachra ipsos adorare contingat persequutionis tempore instante, si solum in Conscientiâ non adorent; to adore with their bodyes though their soules detested it was Idolatry, and to deny it was hæresy.
