The B. remembereth another example in Hezekiah to, telling us Sect. 11 that he removed the high places, and brake the Images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brazen serpent, when the children of Israel did burn incense unto it. Now, we wish from our hearts, that from this example all Christian Kings may learn to remove and destroy the monuments of Idolatry out of their Dominions. And if it be said that in so doing, Kings take upon them to govern by their Princely authority, an Ecclesiastical or spiritual cause; It is easily answered that when they destroy Idolatrous monuments, they do nothing by their own authority, but by the authority of Gods Law, swhich commandeth to abolish such monuments, and to root out the very names of Idols: which commandment is to be executed by the coaction of temporal power.
