what

When

Nationall

Oecumenicall
,
with

:
mought
they
not

alter

When
they
make

;
when
they
make
new

,
and
call

laudable
;
constraining

they
deal

How
fast
the
sin
of
Idolatrie
cleaveth
to
all
flesh
.
THE
service
of
idols
,
or
of
God
by
them
,
although
it
be
a
sin
more
reprehended
in
Gods
word
,
more
punished
in
his
works
,
then
other
vices
:
yet
is
it
most
common
and
familiar
with
the
sons
of
Adam
,
easily
compassing
them
about
,
and
hanging
fast
upon
them
.
As
may
appear
by
three
demonstrations
;
first
,
how
the
best
men
in
the
world
doe
easily
fall
into
it
;
secondly
,
after
,
what
pleasure
they
take
in
it
;
thirdly
,
and
then
,
how
hardly
they
are
drawn
from
it
.
Of
all
these
,
the
Scriptures
giue
testimonies

from

no

so
as

But

loved

followed
the
abominations

of

Then
God
[

was
angry
,
because
he
had
turned

,
and
given

a
charge
concerning

thing
,
that
hee
should
not
follow

Gods
,
but
hee
kept
not
that
which
the
Lord
had
commanded
him
.
Therefore
God

rent
the
Kingdom
from

,
and

Ieroboam
son

a

of

;
with
this
certification
,
that
if

he
would
hearken
to
all
that
God
commanded

walk

;
he
would
be

,
and
build
him
a

house
,
and
giue
Israel

.
Now
when
Solomon
was

,
all
this
came
to
passe
;

Rehoboam

son

lost
the
most
part
of
his
realm
,
and
ten
Tribes
declined
after
Ieroboam
,
and
chose
him
their
King
.

But
he
(
though
otherwise
a
man
wise
and
politick
,
)
wanting
heavenly
wisedom
,
relyed
not
in
faith
on
the
promise
of
God
,
but
went
and
consulted
with
flesh
and
bloud
,
how
he
mought
confirm
the
Kingdom
to
himselfe
.
And
thinking

12.26
,
&c.
in
his
heart
,
that
if
the
people
should
(
as
they
were
wont
)
goe
up
to
Ierusalem
to
worship
God
there
;
their
hearts
would
turn
from
him
to
Solomons
son
,
who
reigned
in
that
place
,
and
so
they
would
kill
him
.
Being
fraught
with
this
fear
,
and
void
of
faith
;
he
thought
to
prevent
these
evils
,
by
setting
up
a
place
of
Gods
publick
worship
,
in
his
own
dominions
.
And
knowing
that
the
people
would
not
easily
be
drawn
to
a
new
religion
,
he
retained
a
shew
still
of
the
old
,
not
altering
any
article
of
the
faith
,
nor
yet
many
of
the
externall
rites
;
but
as
in
Ierusalem
there
was
a
Temple
,
and
Altar
,
and
other
outward
signes
of
Gods
habitation
with
his
Church
;
so
would
Ieroboam
in
Israel
,
make
Temples
,
and
Altars
,
and
signes
of
Gods
presence
,
that
his
people
mought
serv
him
there
.
Then

made

two

of

,
and
set
one
at
Bethel
,
another
at
Dan
,
with
houses
and
altars
,
and
other

furniture
,
and
said

The
changes
and
corruptions
which
he
brought
into
Gods
worship
,
were
cheifly
these
.
First
of
the
place
,
which

had

,
of
the
signes

of

;
which
at

was

with

whereon

from

were
bullocks

.
Thirdly
,
of

time
;
for

of
Tabernacles
appointed

were
of

consulted
of
,
and
agreed
upon

the

and

,
the
people
of

and
practised
accordingly
;
shewing
their
prompt
obedience
and
devotion
in
going

because
of
the
one
,
even
to
Dan
,
a
citie
in
the
utmost
part
of
all
the
land
.
Thus
sinned
Ieroboam
,
&
made
Israel
to
sin
;
and
it
[
“

turned
to
sin
unto
his
house
,
even
to
root
it
out
and
destroy
it
from
the
face
of
the
earth
.
5
Against
this
innovation
,
there
were
some
that
presently
rose
up
,
refusing
to
follow
the
religion
of
the
King
;
especially
the
Priests
and
Levites
,
(
according
to
the

resisted
the
superstition
,
and
put
the
people
in
mind
of
their
duty
;
which
Jeroboam
perceiving
,
[
‘

put
them
from
their

,

droue

all
the
Tribes
of
Israel
,
that
hearkning
to
the
wholesome
doctrine
of
their
Ministers
,
and
following
their
good
example
,
left
their
own
Country
;
and
resorted
to
Ierusalem
,
so
strengthning
the
kingdom
of
Iudah
.
Thus
was
there
a
controversie
among
the
people
,
about
these
(
the
Kings
)
ceremonies
;
some
counting
them
novelties
,
and
profane
superstition
;
others
(
and
they

many

)
esteeming
them
laudable
,
and
well-fitting
their
State
.
But
the
men
of

reproched
them
for
this
,

them
golden
calues
for
Gods
,
and
done
many
like
abominations
.
The
Lord
also
used
other
means
to
draw
the
King
and
people
to
repentance
,
by
the
admonition
[

by

;
and

taking
away
his
beloved
son
Abijah
.
These
things
,
though
they
could
not
but
trouble
both
King
and
people
,
yet
could
they
not
prevail
to
bring
them
to
repentance
;
for
Ieroboam
had
many
things
to
say
for
himselfe
,
and
much
could
he
colour
his
new
coynd
religion
,
answering
the
objections
that
were
made
against
them
,
by
th●s
,
or
the
like
apologie
.

I
See
my

to
be

suspected

some
thinking
my

to
savour
too
rankly
of

superstition

some
charging
me
plainly
with

forsaking
of

But
how
far
off
I
am
from
all
such
impiety
(
how
ever
it
please
men
to
mistake
my
meaning
,
and
pervert

I
hope
to
manifest
unto
all

Chiefly
sith
that
I
haue
neither
spoken

done
against
any
article
of
the
ancient
faith
,
nor
changed
any
fundamentall

of

,
given
us

;
but
worship
with
reverence
the

it

Here

promising

He
then
acknowledged
how
[

](A11890-e22290-b)
i

,
&c.
the
Lord
was
in
this
reverend
place
,
that
it
was
no
other
but
the
house
of
God
,
&
the
very
gate
of

;
&
therupon
gaue
it

called

should
be
Gods
house
.
And
this
his
devotion
was
approved
of
God
,
who
expresly
commanded
him

to

which
hee

God
graciously
accepted
,
&
appeared

with

the
name
was

Bethel
.
Thus
having
so
venerable
antiquity
on
our
side
;
can
any
man
doubt
but
it
is
more
safe
to
worship
here
at
Bethel
,
a
place
sanctified
of
old
,
and
so
long
continuing
;
then
at
Sion
,
of
late
so
fouly
polluted
by
Solomons
grosse
idolatry
.
10
And
me
thinks
the
remembrance
of
that
late
impiety
,
should
keep
men
from
doting
so
on
that
place
;
for
it
is
much
to
be
feared
Rehoboam
will
set
up
ere
long
his
fathers
religion
,
who
followed
strange
Gods
;
seeing
hee
walketh
already
in
his
evill
way
of
oppressing
the
people
,
and
[
o

could
not
be
brought
to
ease
them
at
all
of
any
taxe
or
burthen
,
wherwith
his
father
loded
them
.
As
hee
followeth
his
father
in
sinning
against
the
people
,
so
is
hee
like
to
doe
in
sinning
against
God
.
For
loe
the
hie
places
which
Solomon
builded
for
Ashteroth
and
Chemosh
and
Milcom
,
the
idols
of
the
Heathen
,

are
left
standing
still
,
even
before
Ierusalem
,
and
on
the
right
hand
of
the
mount
of
corruption
,
and
are
like
there
to
cont●nue
.
Which
wherfore
is
it
,
but
for
a
snare
to
the
people
,
that
they
may
fall
again
to
the
former
sin
?
11
I
now
being
King
,
doe
hold
it
my
duty
to
keep
al
my
subjects
from
such
danger
of
idolatry
;
and
to
look
that
the
true
God
be
served
in
my
Kingdom
,
lest
men
either
grow
prophane
,
or
turn
unto
vanities
.
For
to
goe
to
Ierusalem
it
may
proue
perilous
;
sure
it
is
[
q

q

12.28

overmuch
for
the
people
that
dwell
a
far
off
,
and
seemeth
to
me
altogether
unreasonable
.
For
may
and
ought
not
every
Prince
and
people
to
serue
God
in
their
own
countrey
?
Was
there
any
before
me
,
that
mought
not
doe
it
;
and
am
I
more
in
bondage
then
all
?
Besides
,
who
knoweth
not
the
grudge
that
Rehoboam
hath

,

if

Why

;
and
if
he
can
get
me
within
his
dominion
,
he
will
surely
cut
off
my
head
,
and
the
heads
of
many
moe
.
And
doth
God
,
(
who

mercy
rather

)
require
of
men
thus
for
to
runn
upon
the
swords
●oint
,
and
indanger
their
liues
without
cause
,
and
onely
for
a
circumstance
of
place
?
I
am
not
so
weak
of
judgement
,
as
to
think
it
;
neither
will
I
be
so
unwise
as
to
hearken
to
these
Levites
,
who
kindle
the
fire
of
contention
among
my
subjects
,
and
teach
that
we
all
must
goe
up
to
Ierusalem
,
or
else
we
may
offer
no
sacrifice
to
God
.
Beleev
them

I

himselfe
;
because
(
forsooth
)
I
said
,
[
p

p

King
.
12.28
.
Behold
thy
Gods
ô
Israel
.
But
were
I
so
minded
;
I
should
be
indeed
more
brutish
then
a
calfe
my selfe
.
What
,
should
I
deny
the
Creator
of
the
world
;
the
God
of
all
our
fathers
;
the
wonders
wrought
for
us
in
Aegypt
,
and
other
places
;
and
turn
to
these
images
which
are
made
with
mens
hands
,
and
think
them
very
Gods
?
Far
be
such
a
grosse
conceit
,
from
every
true
Israelite
.
Nay
,
if
I
should
haue
attempted
any
such
thing
,
would
you
not
haue
stoned
me
?
And
as
for
my
speech
in
calling
them
Gods
,
who
is
there
so
simple
that
knows
it
not
to
be
figuratiue
,
and
very
familiar
to
every
mans
ears
?
I
am
not
the
first
,
that
thus
hath
spoken
,
our
fathers
before
me
used
often
such
phrases
.
When
the
Angel
of
God
appeared
unto
Abraham
,
he
called
the
place

Yet
none

the

;
and
many
such
like
Sacramentall
speeches
,
haue
we
and
our
ancestors
been
accustomed
unto
.
What
if
I
should
call
the
pascall
Lamb
,
our
Messiah
;
because
it
is
a
type
of
him
:
or
the
Manna
which
our
fathers
did
eat
,
and
water
which
they
drank
out
of
the
rock
;
the
body
and
bloud
of
our
Messiah
:
should
I
for
this
be
suspected
of
Idolatry
?
My
enemies
mought
be
ashamed
thus
to
cavil
,
and
calumniate
my
honest
actions
,
who
haue
made
these
visible
signes
,
for
to
serv
the
true
God
by
;
and
to
be
but
as
testimonies
of
his
presence
here
.
15
And
that
this
is
lawfull
,
the
Law
it
selfe
will
shew
:
which
intendeth
not
the
prohibition
of
all
images
,
but
the
abuse
of
them
as
idols
;
for
so
it
is
written
,
[
a
](A11890-e23340-b)
a
Ex.
20.5
.
Thou
shalt
not
bow
down
to
them
,
nor
serv
them
;
whereby
God
explaneth
his
mind
,
which
is
,
that
we
should
make
no
graven
images
for
to
worship
them
;
but
to
worship
God
by
them
,
where
is
that
forbidden
?
Nay
the
contrary
is
evident
;
for
haue
wee
not
worshipped
God
in
Ierusalem
,
and
other
places
,
by
images
;
What
are
the
[
b
](A11890-e23380-b)
b
Ex.
25.18
,
&c.
golden
winged
Cherubims
upon
the
Ark
,
but
images
,
by
which
both
we
and
our
fathers
haue
honoured
God
.
And
if
any
object
,
that
those
were
made
by
Moses
at
Gods
command
;
but
none
else
may
be
made
by
any
other
:
let
him
look
into
Solomons
Temple
builded
but
the
other
day
,
and
there
he
shall
find
[
c
](A11890-e23440-b)

23
,
&c.
two
new
Cherubims
of
great
and
high
stature
,
whose
wings
reach
from
one
end
of
the
holy
place
to
another
;
and
besides
these
,
all
the
[
d
](A11890-e23470-b)
d

29.
walls
of
the
Temple
are
full
of
such
figures
.
Perhaps
some
will
say
,
it
is
tolerable
to
haue
the
shape
of
Cherubims
,
as
being
figures
of
[
e
](A11890-e23490-b)
e
Gen.
3.24
Angels
;
but
any
other
forms
,
especially
of
beasts
is
utterly
unlawfull
.
Well
,
however
the
Law
forbiddeth
to
make
the
likenes
of
[
f
](A11890-e23510-b)

things
in

,
as
of
things
in
earth
,
and
so
the
Angels
may
no
more
be
pourtrahed
then
beasts
or
birds
:
yet
to
take
away
scruple
,
I
refer
you
to

standeth

is
washed
and
cleansed
every
day
.
If
Solomon
in
his
Temple
might
make
bulls
of
brasse
,
is
it
a
sin
for
me
to
make
such
of
gold
?
Tush
,
these
are
but
the
cavils
of
these
Puritan
Priests
and
Levites
,
that
of
a
stomack
and
refractary
minde
will
not
be
conformable
to
my
ceremonies
;
whom
therefore
I
mean
[

k

.
to
driue
out
of
my
country
,
that
they
trouble
my
people
no
more
.
16
Yet
will
I
doe
my
best
,
to
satisfie
them
ere
they
goe
,
in
whatsoever
they
can
say
against
me
.
To
proceed
therfore
to
the
time
,
(
another
circumstance
which
they
object
,
for
want
of
more
weighty
matter
;
)
they
think
it
much
that
I
haue
pro●oged
the
feast
of
Tabernacles
,
untill

15
day
of
the

moneth
;
because
it
is
appointed
by
Moses
to
be
kept
[

](A11890-e23680-b)

.
23.39
the
15
day
of
the
7
moneth
.
Herein
they
still
doe
but
strain
out
a
gnat
:
for
so
the
thing
it selfe
be
observed
,
what
skilleth
it
for
the
change
of
the
moneth
?
The
feasts
were
made
for
men
,
not
men
for
the
feasts
;
and
if
we
keep
them
in
any
meet
and
commodious
time
,
it
pleaseth
God
well
enough
:
which
I
will
further
shew
by
the
Law
it selfe
.
When
our
fathers
came
out
of
Aegypt
,
they
kept
by
Gods
commandment
the
Paschal
feast
upon
[
m
](A11890-e23700-b)
m
Ex.
12.6
the
14
day
of
the
first
moneth
;
and
this
was
enacted
to
be
an
ordinance
[
n
](A11890-e23720-b)
n
vers.
24.
for
ever
.
After
,
it
fell
out
,
when
a
Passeover
[
o
](A11890-e23740-b)
o
Num.

●
—

was
kept
in
the
wildernesse
,
that
certain
men
[
p
](A11890-e23760-b)
p
vers.
6.7
.
defiled
by
a
dead
man
,
could
not
keep
it
by
reason
of
their
uncleannesse
,
and
came
unto
Moses
to
know
what
they
should
doe
.
He
could
not
tell
,
[
q
](A11890-e23790-b)
q
vers.
8.
till
hee
had
asked
the
Lord
.
Then
God
spake
and
said
,
[
r
](A11890-e23810-b)
r
vers.
10
,
&c.
If
any
of
you
,
or
your
posterity
,
be
unclean
,
or
in
a
journey
,
let
him
keep
the
Pascha
in
the
14
day
of
the
second
moneth
.
Behold
here
how
God
explaineth
his
own
law
,
shewing
that
hee
respecteth
not
the
moneth
,
as
though
there
were
any
holinesse
in
it
;
but
if
the
feast
were
kept
,
though
a
moneth
after
,
(
upon
just
occasion
,
)
it
should
be
acceptable
:
Forasmuch
then
as
we
haue
so
pregnant
an
example
of
occasionall
changing
the
time
,
without
any
sin
:
me
thinks
these
men
are
too
too
precise
;
that
condemn
me
,
who
upon
just
occasion
,
and
advice
with
others
,
haue
deferred
this
feast
,
a
moneth
longer
then
ordinary
.
17
It
may
be
these
men
,
make
question
of
my
authority
,
and
think
me
not
the
lawfull
supreme
Governour
,
under
God
,
of
the
Church
;
or
that
my
primacy
beares
me
not
out
to
alter
ceremonies
or
circumstances
in
religion
:
but
this
I
can
sufficiently
clear
.
For
I
haue
my
kingly
office
from
God
the
King
of
kings
;
[
s
](A11890-e23850-b)
s
1
King
▪
11.29
,
&
hee
appointed
me
hereunto
by
his
Prophet
,
and
chose
me
[
t
](A11890-e23880-b)
t
1
King
▪
12.20
.
by
his
people
.
I
am
not
inferiour
to
any
Prince
that
hath
been
before
me
.
What
though
I
be
not
born
of
kingly
bloud
?
neither
was
David
.
And
what
though
Solomon
and
Rehoboam
his
son
,
were
possessed
of
the
crown
before
me
?
So
was
Saul
and
Ishbosheth
his
son
possessed
of
it
before
king
David
.
But
God
for
Sauls
sin
,
[
u
](A11890-e23970-b)
u
1
Sa●
12.28
.
gaue
the
kingdom
to
David
his
servant
,
and
no
man
doubteth
of
his
lawfull
title
:
so
God
for
Solomons
sin
,
[
x
](A11890-e24010-b)
x
1
King
.
●1
.
31
.
hath
given
this
kingdom
to
me
his
servant
;
and
my
title
is
just
.
Neither
goe
I
beyond
my
line
;
I
am
content
with
my
ten
Tribes
,
let
Rehoboam
haue
the
rest
.
Now
being
your
lawfull
Prince
,
ô
Israel
,
it
lyeth
me
upon
to
see
the
Church
ordered
,
as
well
as
the
Common-wealth
;
to
make
Lawes
(
no●
contrary
to
the
lawes
of
God
,
)
for
the
holy
and
peaceable
government
of
you
;
to
take
heed
you
fall
not
to
Solomons
idolatry
,
or
follow
other
Gods
.
Things
substantiall
and
fundamentall
;
I
will
in
no
wise
change
:
circumstances
of
things
,
and
ceremonies
I
may
freely
change
,
for
they
are
not
permanent
or
perpetuall
.
18
And
herein
I
can
assure
my selfe
and
others
,
by
example
of
DAVID
the
beloved
of
GOD
,
[

commended
to
me
for
his
holy
walking
and
upright
admistration
.
He
ordred
many
things
in
the
service
of
God
,
otherwise
then
he
had
expresse
warrant
for
,
in
the
written
Law
.
He
removed

,

from

.
He

,
&c.
instruments
of
musick
,
cimbals
,
and
vials
,
and
harps
,
&c.
wherof
there
is
no
mention
in
Moses
Law
.
He
[
b
](A11890-e24150-b)
b
1
Chron.
23.
&
25.
distributed
the
Levites
into
their
orders
and
offices
,
making
some
singers
,
some
porters
,
some
assistants
to
the
Priests
:
yea
,
and
[
c
](A11890-e24180-b)
c

24
the
sacrifices
hee
set
in
24
classes
or
courses
;
and
where
shall
we
find
these
things
warranted
in
the
Law
?
If
David
then
our
worthy
Predecessor
,
did
thus
order
the
Church
,
and
alter
the
ceremonies
,
by
his
regall
authority
:
may
not
I
,
which
haue
equall
power
in
my
dominions
doe
the
like
?
And
Solomon
his
son
,
before
he
fell
from
the
true
God
to
idols
,
did
many
things
otherwise
then
is
written
in
Moses
;
and
God
did
allow
them
.
In
his
famous
Temple
he
had
[
d

d
2

4.7.8
.
ten
golden
candlesticks
,
and
ten

;
whereas
God
by
Moses
,
ordained
of
each
[

e

26.35
but
one
.
In
sted
of
one
laver
that
Moses
made
to
wash
in
,
Solomon
made
[

ten
cauldrons
;
besides
that
other

,
which
for
the
hugeness
of
it
,
is
called

a
sea
:
with
many
other
differences
,
which
who
so
compareth
his
works
with
Moses
writings
may
easily
perceiv
.
These
Priests
of
Levi
are
much
to
bee
pittied
,
that
urge
so
the
letter
of
the
Law
,
which
I
think
they
understand
not
.
They
say
it
is
written
,
[
h
](A11890-e24360-b)
h
Deut.
4.2
Yee
shall
put
nothing
to
the
word
that
J
command
you
,
nor
take
ought
therefrom
;
but
they
minde
not
how
this
intendeth
matters
of
faith
,
and
doctrines
fundamentall
,
which
I
willingly
grant
may
in
no
wise
be
corrupted
:
but
ceremonies
are
variable
,
and
circumstances
may
be
changed
upon
every
just
occasion
,
as
before
I
haue
proved
,
and
the
practise
of
my
godly
predecessours
doth
approue
.
Accordingly
mean
I
to
retain
my
liberty
,
and
maintain
my
prerogatiue
royall
.
19
It
resteth
to
be
scanned
how
we
shal
doe
for
Ministers
,
if
the
Priests
of
Levi
be
put
away
.
And
for
this
I
[
i
](A11890-e24410-b)
i
2
Chron.
13.9
.
am
reproched
as
violating
the
Law
;
wheras
necessity
constraineth
me
to
take
other
order
.
I
know
that
Aarons
sonnes
are
appoinred
by
Law
to
doe
the
Priests
office
:
but
the
power
is
in
the
Church
,
of
whom
they
had
their
authority
;
and
mought
still
administer
if
they
were
not
so
scrupulous
.
It
is
then
their
own
fault
that
they
are
deposed
,
and
be
it
upon
them
:
for
wee
will
serv
God

For

without

What
then
though
this

had

thereupon
was
hired
by

no

man
will
rest
on

will
settle
his

which
that

could
not
convince
me

all
(
for

but
sought
to
get
credit
by
abusing
that
power

did

haue

The

of

cannot
goe

is
a

A
Conviction
of
Ieroboams
impiety
.
THese
,
and
the
like
pretences
many
,
Ieroboam
could
alledge
for
to
justifie
his
cause
;
wherein
was
onely
shew
,
but
no
weight
of
truth
.
Yet
such
is
mans
corruption
,
as
he
will
admit
of
any
colour
,
rather
then
leav
the
sinne
that
he
affecteth
:
and
being
in
high
transgression
of
the
Law
,
will
bear
himselfe
upon
the
Law
,
as
if
it
made
for
him
in
his
iniquity
.
But
as
David
prayed
God
,
that
hee
would
[

not
incline
his
heart
to

of

,
to
set
himselfe
to
pretend
pretences
(
or
forge
excuses
)
in
wickednesse
,
with
men
that
work
iniquity
:
so
need
we
all
continually
to
aske
of
God
this
grace
;
for
as
of
Adam
wee
haue
learned
to
sinne
,
so
also
for
to
hide
and
cloke
our
sinne
,
and
cover
our
nakednesse
,
though

with
fig-leaues

may

whereby

altered

the
ruin

The
plea
how
he
retained
the
grounds

varied

in

came

where

As

CHAP.
V.
Of
the
Idolatry
of
these
times
,
far
exceeding
Ieroboams
.
IT
is
the
manner
of
men
to
bee
more
equall
and
indifferent
judges
of
other
times
then
of
their
own
:
the
sins
&
sinners
that
are
past
and
gone
,
we
readily
blame
;
but
though
the
like
or
worse
be
in
our
daies
,
we
haue
not
either
skill
to
discern
,
or
courage
to
condemn
them
.
We
can
easily
say
,
as
did
the
Pharisees
;
[

.
If
we
had
been
in
the
daies
of
our
fathers
,
wee
would
not
haue
been
partners
with
them
in
the
bloud
of
the
Prophets
:
and
yet
upon
every
occcasion
we
also
are
ready
to
fulfil

.
the
mesure
of
our
fathers
,
walking
in
their
sinnes
,
resisting
,
blaspheming
,
persecuting
all
that
speak
against
us
for
so
doing
.
Example
hereof
see
in
the
Christian
Church
,
after
the
idolatry
and
overthrow
of
Israel
:
for
so
far
haue
we
been
from
taking
heed
by
their
evils
,
as
we
haue
added
unto
all
their
sins
;
and
it
was
but
a
little
which
they
then
did
,
in
respect
of
the
huge
masse
of
abominations
that
hath
since
been
heaped
up

hath
quite

,

For

A
Conclusion
Dehortary
from
this
sin
.
THE
wares
of
idolatry
being
so
common
and
universally
spread
by
the
merchants
of
the
whore
,
and
conveighed
into
all
nations
:
it
commeth
to
passe
that
many
are
interessed
in
this
Mart
,
buy
and
sell
,
partake
and
communicate
with
these
evils
,
not
being
aware
of
the
danger
they
come
into
hereby
.
To
warn
them
therefore
of
the
mischiefe
ere
they
fall
into
it
,
or
to
help
them
out
if
they
be
fallen
,
haue
I
penned
this
Treatise
:
and

This
sin
is
direct
against
the
Majesty
of
God
,
whose
honour
is
to
be
regarded
aboue
our
own
liues
;
aboue
the
peace
or
tranquility
of
nations
.
The
sin
provoketh
the
anger
of
God
,
as
adultery
provoketh
the
rage
of
a
man
injured
in
his
private
bed
.
As
he

will
not
spare
in
the
day
of

,
and
can
not
bear
the
sight
of
any

:
so
the
Lord
is
a
