The seeking out of Idols is the beginning of whoredom,1 and the bringing up of them, is the destruction of life. For they were not from the beginning, neither shall they continue unto the end. The wealthy idleness of men hath found them out upon the earth, therefore shall they come shortly to an end. The honouring of abominable images, is the cause, the beginning, and the end of all evil.
