158 THE SYNOD OF JERUSALEM 1672 And if some say we commit idolatry in adoring the Saints, and the Eikons of the Saints, and the other things, we regard it as foolish and frivolous. For we worship with *LATRIA* the only God in Trinity, and none other ; but the Saints we honour upon two accounts : firstly, for their relation to God, since we honour them for His sake ; and for themselves, because they are living images of God. But that which is for themselves hath been defined as of *DULIA* . But the holy Eikons [we adore] relatively, since the honour paid to them is referred to their PROTOTYPES. For he that adoreth the Εikon doth, through the Εikon, adore the prototype ; and the honour paid to the Εikon is not at all divided, or at all separated from that of him that is pourtrayed, and is done unto the same, like that done unto a royal embassy.
