1. For idolatry, though the bright light of the Gospel hath for *many years dispelled the thick cloud of Popery, a detestable idolatry: yet in many places that cloud gathereth, and thickeneth again. I pray God it increase not as athat cloud which Elijah's servant espied: which though at first it were but a little one like a mans hand, yet it grew to cover the whole sky, and to cause much rain. Too many seducers are among us: too great countenance is given to them. We Ministers have need to inculcate this Apostolical prohibition, bFlee from idolatry.
