The very sight of evil is dangerous, and they be rare eyes that do not convey this poison to our hearts. I have heard of some, that even by labouring in the Spanish galleys, have come home the slaves of their superstitions. ⟨p. 34⟩Egypt was always an unlucky place for Israel, as Rome is for England. The people sojourned there, and they brought home one Calf: Jeroboam sojourned there, and he brought home Two calves: 1an old woman (in all likelihood) had sojourned there, and she brought home a great many. The Romish Idols have not the shape of calves, they have the sense and meaning of those calves: and to fill the Temple full of Calves, what is it but to make Religion guilty of *Bulls?
