The other kind of blasphemy, in attributing such things to God which are unbeseeming his Excellency, is noted in those Israelites that caused their sons to pass through the fire, making God thereby like unto the Devil, to delight in mans blood: a thing most dishonourable to the Divine Majesty. The Lord having relation to that Heathenish and barbarous fact of the Israelites, saith to their children,1 In this have your Fathers blasphemed me. Thus it is noted of those on whom the Vial of Gods wrath was poured out,2 that they blasphemed the God of heaven for their pains: their blasphemy, without question, was that they impeached God of injustice, unmercifulness, cruelty and such like things, much unbeseeming his glorious name.
