the_o jew_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n suppose_v it_o be_v all_o true_a will_v serve_v no_o more_o for_o acquit_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n than_o a_o plea_n will_v avail_v a_o criminal_a who_o be_v arraign_v of_o high_a treason_n for_o coin_v money_n or_o for_o countefeit_v the_o king_n seal_n in_o which_o one_o shall_v set_v forth_o that_o high_a treason_n be_v the_o murder_v the_o king_n or_o the_o levy_n war_n against_o he_o and_o that_o therefore_o the_o criminal_a who_o be_v guilty_a of_o neither_o of_o these_o two_o aught_o to_o be_v acquit_v idolatry_n as_o well_o as_o treason_n be_v a_o comprehensive_a notion_n and_o have_v many_o different_a branch_n so_o that_o though_o the_o worship_v the_o host_n of_o heaven_n or_o the_o worship_v a_o image_n as_o a_o resemblance_n of_o the_o divinity_n may_v be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v the_o high_a degree_n of_o idolatry_n yet_o many_o other_o corruption_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v just_o reducible_a to_o it_o and_o may_v be_v term_v not_o only_o idolatrous_a but_o idolatry_n itself_o v._o our_o saviour_n in_o his_o sermon_n on_o the_o mount_n have_v show_v we_o how_o many_o sin_n be_v reducible_a to_o the_o second_o table_n of_o the_o law_n beside_o those_o of_o murder_n adultery_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v express_o name_v in_o it_o and_o though_o the_o jew_n in_o that_o time_n have_v deliver_v themselves_o entire_o from_o the_o sin_n of_o idolatry_n to_o which_o their_o father_n be_v so_o prone_a give_v he_o no_o occasion_n of_o comment_v on_o the_o first_o and_o second_o commandment_n yet_o by_o the_o parity_n of_o thing_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o many_o sin_n be_v reducible_a to_o they_o beside_o those_o that_o be_v express_o name_v and_o though_o we_o have_v not_o so_o complete_a a_o history_n of_o the_o idolatry_n of_o the_o neighbour_a nation_n to_o judea_n before_o the_o captivity_n yet_o we_o do_v certain_o know_v what_o be_v the_o idolatry_n of_o which_o the_o greek_n and_o roman_n be_v guilty_a when_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v write_v and_o though_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v write_v chief_o with_o relation_n to_o the_o jew_n who_o freedom_n from_o idolatry_n give_v no_o occasion_n to_o treat_v of_o it_o yet_o in_o those_o few_o passage_n which_o relate_v to_o the_o heathen_a idolatry_n then_o on_o foot_n the_o holy_a writer_n retain_v the_o same_o phrase_n and_o stile_n that_o be_v use_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o give_v we_o just_a reason_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o idolatry_n be_v upon_o the_o matter_n and_o in_o its_o main_a stroke_n the_o same_o under_o both_o and_o if_o so_o than_o we_o have_v a_o door_n open_v to_o we_o to_o discover_v all_o our_o author_n be_v false_a reason_n and_o upon_o this_o discovery_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o all_o the_o inspire_a writer_n charge_v the_o heathen_a worship_n with_o idolatry_n not_o so_o much_o with_o relation_n to_o the_o gloss_n that_o philosopher_n and_o other_o political_a man_n may_v put_v on_o their_o rite_n but_o with_o relation_n to_o the_o practice_n in_o itself_o vi_o but_o since_o idolatry_n be_v a_o sin_n against_o a_o moral_a and_o unchangeable_a law_n let_v we_o state_n the_o true_a notion_n of_o the_o right_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o by_o consequence_n of_o idolatry_n though_o this_o be_v do_v with_o that_o exactness_n by_o the_o worthy_a master_n of_o the_o temple_n that_o it_o shall_v make_v a_o man_n afraid_a to_o come_v after_o he_o our_o idea_n of_o god_n and_o the_o homage_n of_o worship_n and_o service_n that_o we_o offer_v up_o pursuant_n to_o these_o be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v consider_v as_o they_o be_v just_a thought_n of_o god_n and_o act_n suitable_a to_o those_o thought_n but_o as_o they_o be_v idea_n that_o tend_v both_o to_o elevate_v and_o purify_v our_o own_o nature_n for_o the_o thought_n of_o god_n be_v the_o seed_n of_o all_o truth_n and_o virtue_n in_o we_o which_o be_v deep_o root_v in_o we_o make_v we_o become_v conformable_a to_o the_o divine_a nature_n so_o that_o the_o sin_n of_o idolatry_n consist_v in_o this_o that_o our_o idea_n of_o god_n be_v corrupt_v he_o be_v either_o defraud_v of_o that_o honour_n which_o though_o due_a to_o he_o be_v transfer_v to_o another_o or_o be_v dishonour_v by_o a_o worship_n that_o be_v unsuitable_a to_o his_o nature_n and_o we_o also_o by_o form_v wrong_a idea_n of_o the_o object_n of_o our_o worship_n become_v corrupt_v by_o they_o nothing_o raise_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n more_o than_o sublime_a thought_n of_o god_n greatness_n and_o glory_n and_o nothing_o perfect_v it_o more_o than_o just_a notion_n of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n on_o the_o contrary_a nothing_o debase_v our_o nature_n more_o than_o the_o offer_v our_o worship_n and_o service_n to_o a_o be_v that_o be_v low_a and_o unworthy_a of_o it_o or_o the_o depress_v the_o supreme_a be_v in_o our_o thought_n or_o worship_n to_o somewhat_o that_o be_v like_o ourselves_o or_o perhaps_o worse_o therefore_o the_o design_n of_o true_a religion_n be_v the_o form_n in_o we_o such_o notion_n as_o may_v exalt_v and_o sanctify_v our_o nature_n as_o well_o as_o the_o raise_n a_o tribute_n to_o the_o author_n of_o our_o be_v that_o be_v in_o some_o sort_n worthy_a of_o he_o the_o sin_n of_o idolatry_n be_v upon_o this_o account_n chief_o forbid_v in_o scripture_n because_o it_o corrupt_v our_o idea_n of_o god_n and_o by_o a_o natural_a tendency_n this_o must_v likewise_o corrupt_v our_o nature_n when_o we_o either_o raise_v up_o a_o idol_n so_o far_o in_o our_o thought_n as_o to_o fancy_v it_o a_o god_n or_o depress_v god_n so_o far_o as_o to_o make_v he_o a_o idol_n for_o these_o two_o species_n of_o idolatry_n have_v both_o the_o same_o effect_n on_o we_o and_o as_o a_o wound_n in_o a_o man_n vital_n be_v much_o more_o destructive_a than_o any_o how_o deep_a and_o dangerous_a soever_o that_o be_v in_o his_o limb_n since_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o he_o to_o recover_v of_o the_o one_o but_o not_o of_o the_o other_o so_o idolatry_n corrupt_v religion_n in_o its_o source_n thus_o idolatry_n in_o its_o moral_n and_o unchangeable_a nature_n be_v the_o honour_v any_o creature_n as_o a_o god_n or_o the_o imagine_v that_o god_n be_v such_o a_o be_v as_o the_o other_o creature_n be_v and_o this_o have_v be_v a_o sin_n though_o no_o law_n against_o it_o have_v ever_o be_v give_v to_o mankind_n but_o the_o light_n and_o law_n of_o nature_n vii_o but_o after_o all_o this_o there_o be_v different_a degree_n in_o this_o sin_n for_o the_o true_a notion_n of_o god_n be_v this_o that_o he_o comprehend_v all_o perfection_n in_o his_o essence_n the_o ascribe_v all_o these_o to_o a_o creature_n be_v the_o high_a degree_n of_o idolatry_n but_o the_o ascribe_v any_o one_o of_o these_o infinite_a perfection_n or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o with_o relation_n to_o our_o action_n the_o do_v any_o thing_n which_o import_v or_o be_v understand_v to_o import_n it_o be_v likewise_o idolatry_n though_o of_o a_o low_a degree_n of_o guilt_n so_o likewise_o the_o imagine_v that_o the_o true_a god_n be_v no_o other_o than_o as_o a_o idol_n represent_v he_o to_o be_v be_v the_o high_a degree_n of_o the_o other_o species_n of_o idolatry_n but_o the_o conceive_v he_o as_o have_v a_o body_n in_o which_o his_o eternal_a mind_n dwell_v or_o fancy_v that_o any_o strange_a virtue_n from_o he_o dwell_v in_o any_o body_n to_o such_o a_o degree_n as_o to_o make_v that_o body_n the_o proper_a object_n of_o worship_n unless_o he_o have_v assure_v we_o that_o he_o be_v real_o unite_v to_o that_o body_n and_o dwell_v in_o it_o which_o be_v the_o case_n of_o the_o cloud_n of_o glory_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o much_o more_o of_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n under_o the_o new_a this_o be_v likewise_o idolatry_n for_o in_o all_o these_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o true_a idea_n of_o god_n and_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n be_v corrupt_v viii_o there_o be_v two_o principle_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n that_o make_v he_o very_o apt_a to_o fall_v into_o idolatry_n either_o inward_a or_o outward_a the_o first_o be_v the_o weakness_n of_o most_o people_n mind_n which_o be_v so_o sink_v into_o gross_a phantasm_n and_o sensible_a object_n that_o they_o be_v scarce_o capable_a to_o raise_v their_o thought_n to_o pure_a and_o spiritual_a idea_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v apt_a either_o to_o forget_v religion_n quite_o or_o to_o entertain_v it_o by_o object_n that_o be_v visible_a and_o sensible_a the_o other_o be_v that_o man_n appetite_n and_o passion_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n too_o strong_a for_o they_o and_o these_o not_o be_v reconcilable_a to_o the_o true_a idea_n of_o a_o
