pure_a and_o spiritual_a essence_n they_o be_v easy_o dispose_v to_o embrace_v such_o notion_n of_o god_n as_o may_v live_v more_o peaceable_o with_o their_o vice_n and_o so_o they_o hope_v by_o a_o profusion_n of_o expense_n and_o honour_n or_o of_o fury_n and_o rage_n which_o they_o employ_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o a_o imaginary_a deity_n to_o purchase_v their_o pardon_n and_o to_o compensate_a for_o their_o other_o crime_n if_o not_o to_o authorise_v they_o these_o two_o principle_n that_o be_v so_o root_v in_o our_o frail_a and_o corrupt_a nature_n be_v wrought_v on_o by_o the_o craft_n and_o authority_n of_o ambition_n and_o covetous_a man_n who_o be_v never_o want_v in_o all_o age_n and_o nation_n have_v bring_v forth_o all_o that_o idolatry_n that_o have_v appear_v in_o so_o many_o different_a shape_n up_o and_o down_o the_o world_n and_o have_v be_v diversify_v according_a to_o the_o various_a temper_n accident_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o several_a nation_n and_o age_n of_o the_o world._n ix_o i_o now_o come_v to_o examine_v the_o beginning_n of_o idolatry_n as_o they_o be_v represent_v to_o we_o in_o the_o scripture_n in_o which_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o our_o author_n account_n of_o it_o show_v he_o guilty_a either_o of_o great_a ignorance_n or_o of_o that_o which_o be_v worse_o he_o pretend_v that_o the_o first_o plain_a intimation_n that_o we_o have_v of_o it_o in_o palestine_n be_v when_o jacob_n after_o his_o conversation_n with_o the_o schichemite_n command_v his_o family_n to_o put_v away_o their_o strange_a gods._n whereas_o we_o have_v a_o early_o and_o more_o particular_a account_n of_o those_o strange_a god_n in_o the_o same_o book_n of_o genesis_n chap._n 31._o where_o when_o jacob_n flee_v away_o from_o laban_n it_o be_v say_v verse_n 19_o that_o rachel_n steal_v her_o father_n image_n or_o teraphim_n and_o these_o be_v afterward_o call_v by_o laban_n his_o god_n vers_fw-la 30._o and_o these_o very_a image_n be_v call_v by_o joshua_n 24.2_o strange_a god_n so_o that_o the_o strange_a god_n from_o which_o jacob_n cleanse_v his_o family_n gen._n 35.2_o be_v not_o other_o than_o the_o teraphim_n and_o that_o in_o the_o teraphim_n we_o be_v to_o seek_v for_o the_o true_a original_a of_o idolatry_n and_o for_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o phrase_n of_o other_o god_n or_o strange_a god_n which_o be_v indeed_o the_o true_a key_n to_o this_o whole_a matter_n these_o be_v little_a statue_n such_o as_o the_o dii_fw-la lares_fw-la or_o penates_fw-la be_v afterward_o among_o the_o roman_n or_o the_o pagod_n now_o in_o the_o east_n in_o which_o it_o be_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o divine_a virtue_n shut_v up_o that_o the_o idolater_n expect_v protection_n from_o they_o and_o as_o people_n in_o all_o time_n be_v apt_a to_o trust_v to_o charm_n so_o those_o who_o pretend_v to_o chain_v down_o the_o divine_a influence_n to_o those_o image_n have_v here_o a_o great_a occasion_n give_v they_o to_o deceive_v the_o world_n of_o this_o sort_n be_v the_o palladium_n of_o troy_n and_o the_o ancelle_n of_o rome_n and_o this_o give_v the_o rise_n to_o all_o the_o cheat_v of_o telesme_n and_o talismans_n that_o come_v afterward_o these_o be_v of_o different_a figure_n and_o since_o our_o author_n confess_v p._n 124._o that_o cherubin_n and_o teraphim_n be_v sometime_o use_v promiscuous_o for_o one_o another_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o figure_n of_o both_o be_v the_o same_o and_o since_o it_o be_v plain_a from_o ezekiel_n that_o the_o cherubin_n resemble_v a_o calf_n compare_v ezek._n 1.10_o with_o chap._n 10.14_o where_o what_o be_v call_v in_o the_o first_o the_o face_n of_o a_o ox_n be_v call_v in_o the_o other_o the_o face_n of_o a_o cherub_n from_o hence_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o teraphim_n or_o at_o least_o some_o of_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o figure_n in_o these_o it_o be_v also_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v different_a degree_n of_o charm_n some_o be_v believe_v strong_a than_o other_o so_o that_o probable_o pharaoh_n think_v that_o moses_n and_o aaron_n have_v a_o teraphim_n of_o great_a virtue_n than_o his_o magician_n have_v which_o be_v the_o clear_a account_n that_o i_o know_v of_o his_o harden_v his_o heart_n against_o so_o many_o miracle_n and_o this_o also_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o first_o occasion_n of_o the_o phrase_n of_o the_o god_n of_o the_o several_a nation_n and_o of_o some_o be_v strong_a than_o other_o that_o be_v the_o teraphim_n of_o the_o one_o be_v believe_v to_o have_v a_o high_a degree_n of_o enchantment_n in_o they_o than_o the_o other_o have_v this_o then_o lead_v we_o to_o the_o right_a notion_n of_o aaron_n golden_a calf_n and_o of_o the_o term_n of_o grave_a or_o carve_v image_n in_o the_o second_o commandment_n and_o even_o of_o the_o other_o god_n in_o the_o first_o commandment_n for_o we_o have_v see_v that_o both_o in_o the_o style_n of_o moses_n and_o joshua_n the_o image_n be_v those_o teraphim_n which_o they_o also_o call_v strange_a gods._n when_o the_o israelite_n think_v that_o moses_n have_v forsake_v they_o they_o come_v to_o aaron_n desire_v he_o to_o make_v they_o god_n that_o be_v teraphim_n yet_o they_o prescribe_v no_o form_n to_o he_o but_o leave_v that_o whole_o to_o he_o and_o so_o the_o dream_n of_o their_o fondness_n of_o the_o egyptian_a idolatry_n vanish_v for_o it_o be_v aaron_n choice_n that_o make_v it_o a_o calf_n perhaps_o he_o have_v see_v the_o divine_a glory_n as_o a_o cloud_n between_o the_o cherubim_n when_o he_o go_v up_o into_o the_o mountain_n exod._n 24.9_o 10._o for_o a_o pattern_n be_v show_v to_o moses_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n that_o he_o be_v to_o make_v it_o be_v probable_a aaron_n see_v that_o likewise_o and_o this_o may_v dispose_v he_o to_o give_v they_o a_o seraphim_n in_o that_o figure_n this_o be_v also_o the_o most_o probable_a account_n both_o of_o the_o calf_n of_o dan_n and_o bethel_n set_v up_o by_o jeroboam_n and_o also_o of_o the_o israelite_n worship_v the_o ephod_n that_o gideon_n make_v judg._n 8.27_o of_o the_o idolatry_n of_o micah_n and_o the_o danite_n who_o rob_v he_o judg._n 17.18_o and_o of_o the_o israelite_n offer_v incense_n to_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n 2_o king_n 18.4_o which_o seem_v to_o have_v all_o the_o solemnity_n of_o a_o teraphim_n in_o it_o so_o that_o it_o be_v plain_a the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o idolatry_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v the_o worship_n of_o the_o teraphim_n x._o but_o to_o complete_a this_o argument_n with_o relation_n to_o the_o present_a point_n it_o be_v no_o less_o plain_a that_o the_o true_a jehovah_n be_v worship_v in_o those_o teraphim_n to_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o laban_n in_o the_o covenant_n that_o he_o make_v with_o jacob_n appeal_v not_o only_o to_o the_o god_n of_o abraham_n gen._n 31.53_o but_o likewise_o to_o jehovah_n v._o 49._o for_o though_o that_o name_n be_v not_o then_o know_v yet_o moses_n by_o use_v it_o on_o that_o occasion_n show_v we_o plain_o that_o laban_n be_v a_o worshipper_n of_o the_o true_a god._n aaron_n show_v the_o same_o by_o intimate_v that_o feast_n which_o he_o appoint_v to_o jehovah_n exod._n 32.5_o which_o our_o author_n think_v not_o fit_a to_o mention_v the_o people_n also_o by_o call_v these_o v._o 4._o the_o god_n that_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o egypt_n show_v that_o they_o have_v no_o thought_n of_o the_o egyptian_a idolatry_n but_o they_o believe_v that_o moses_n have_v carry_v away_o the_o teraphim_n in_o the_o virtue_n of_o which_o it_o seem_v they_o fancy_v that_o he_o have_v wrought_v his_o miracle_n and_o that_o aaron_n who_o they_o believe_v know_v the_o secret_a have_v make_v they_o new_a one_o and_o this_o be_v the_o most_o probable_a account_n of_o their_o joy_n in_o celebrate_v that_o feast_n and_o as_o for_o jeroboam_n the_o case_n seem_v to_o be_v plain_o the_o same_o he_o make_v the_o people_n believe_v that_o the_o teraphim_n which_o he_o give_v they_o in_o dan_n and_o bethel_n be_v as_o good_a as_o those_o that_o be_v at_o jerusalem_n for_o as_o his_o design_n be_v no_o other_o than_o to_o hinder_v their_o go_v thither_o 1_o king_n 12.27_o so_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o either_o he_o will_v or_o dare_v venture_v upon_o a_o total_a change_n of_o their_o religion_n or_o that_o it_o can_v have_v pass_v so_o easy_o with_o the_o people_n whereas_o the_o other_o have_v nothing_o extraordinary_a in_o it_o it_o be_v also_o plain_a that_o as_o jeroboam_n call_v the_o calf_n the_o god_n that_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o egypt_n v._o 28._o so_o he_o still_o acknowledge_v the_o true_a jehovah_n for_o the_o prophet_n both_o true_a and_o false_a in_o his_o time_n prophesy_v in_o the_o name_n of_o jehovah_n 1_o king_n 13.2_o 18_o
