they shall go to confusion together that are makers of Idols And saith God by the Prophet Habakkuk Habak 2.19 Wo unto him that saith unto the wood Awake to the dumb stone Arise it shall teach Such Woes and Curses and Confusion await the makers and worshippers of Images and such must they expect And to conclude this particular we may see that Idolaters are to be excluded and shut out of the Kingdom of Heaven and to have their portion in the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone And it is plain by the sacred Scriptures that the worshipping of Images is flat Idolatry And from hence it doth appear that all Image worshippers are like to be utterly excluded from the Kingdom of Heaven and to go to the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone This is plain that Idolaters are not like to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven 1 Cor. 6.9 Know ye not saith St. Paul that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God Be not deceived neither Fornicators nor Idolaters shall inherit the Kingdom of God And saith he again Gal. 5.19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest which are these adultery fornication uncleaness lasciviousness Idolatry of the which I tell you before as I have also told you in times past that they which do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God It is clear that all Idolaters are like to be shut out of the Kingdom of Heaven and to have their part in the Infernal Lake of fire Rev. 22.14 saith St. John Blessed are they that do his Commandments that they may have right to the tree of Life and may enter in thorow the gates into the City For without are dogs and sorcerers and whoremongers and murderers and Idolaters Those that keep and not those that so notoriously violate and break the Commands of God are the persons that are to inherit his blessed Kingdom And Rev. 21.8 saith St. John again But the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and Idolaters and all lyars shall have their part in the Lake which burneth with fire and brimstone which is the second death We see that Idolaters must go to this dreadful place of fire and brimstone and it is clear that Image worshippers are great Idolaters and that they are like to go to this dreadful place of Torment It doth plainly appear that the worshipping of Images is flat contrary to the blessed Word of God in a multitude of places and that all the Pretences of the Papists that they worship Almighty God or our blessed Saviour or the Saints by them signifie nothing at all to excuse them from Idolatry and breaking the sacred Commands of Almighty God and that these Pretences are no more than what the old Idolaters both Jews and Heathens have made which are so much condemned in the Word of God and that all Image-worshippers are like to go to the dreadful Lake of fire and to perish to all Eternity This one Particular doth shew that there is no hope of Salvation for Papists so long as they practise such abominable Idolatry VI. Their worshipping of the Saints and Angels is not agreeable to the blessed Word of God This is the making of them Gods and is contrary to the first Commandment Exod. 20.3 Thou shalt have no other Gods before me The worshipping of Saints and Angels is to make them Gods and contrary to this great Commandment and many other places in the sacred Scriptures God hath declared that he will not give his Glory to another Isa 42.8 But by worshipping of the Saints they give it away And our Saviour hath shewed us that God alone is to be worshipped and served Matt. 4.10 Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve But in worshipping of Saints and Angels they go directly against this Precept and do not worship and serve him alone And St. Paul shews that the blessed Angels are not to be worshipped but that it is vanity of mind in such as attempt it Col. 2.18 Let no man domineer over you that is a volunteer in humility and worshipping of Angels intruding into those things which he hath not seen vainly puft up by his fleshly mind The Translation in the Bible differeth a little here but this seems to me to be the true meaning of the Greek here And here the Apostle dissuades us from being drawn away by others to the worshipping of Angels who thro' the vanity of their own mind run inconsiderately into such things as they understand not and for which they have no warrant And much less are we to be drawn then to the worshipping of Saints And we may see that the blessed Angel would by no means suffer St. John to worship him Rev. 19.10 And I fell at his feet to worship him saith St. John and he said unto me See thou do it not I am thy fellow servant and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus worship God And Rev. 22.9 saith he And when I had heard and seen I fell down to worship before the feet of the Angel which shewed me these things Then saith he unto me See thou do it not for I am thy fellow servants and of thy brethren the Prophets and of them which keep the sayings of this book Worship God The blessed Angel would by no means be worshipped we see but sheweth that God only is to be worshipped and if the blessed Angels are not to be worshipped but God only we may be sure that the Saints are not to be worshipped And we are not to make Mediators of them for we are taught that there is but one Mediator between God and Man and that is our blessed Lord. 1 Tim. 2.5 For saith the Apostle there is one God and one Mediator between God and men the man Christ Jesus Our blessed Saviour alone is our Mediator and we are not to make Mediators of the Saints The worshipping of the Saints is the making of them petty Gods and the worshipping of them by Images is gross Idolatry and both are contrary to a multitude of places in the sacred Scriptures And by what hath been said before we may see that those that practise such things are like to perish eternally if they do not betake themselves to a speedy Repentance and Amendment of their sinful Practice herein VII Their Doctrine of Transubstantiation that is That the Bread and Wine in the Sacrament after Consecration are changed into the real Body and Blood of Christ our Saviour is not agreeable to the blessed Word of God St. Paul hath plainly taught us that it is Bread after Consecration and that it is still Bread when it is eaten 1 Cor. 11.26 27 28. For saith he as often as ye eat this Bread and drink this Cup ye do shew the Lord's death till he come Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily shall be guilty of the
