The Israelites were sore afflicted for serving Baal and […], that is, Idols fetched from the Heathen: but herein their intent was to worship the true God in them, as appeareth Hose 2.16. Thou shalt call me no more […]. Yea the very Heathen themselves worshipped the ⟨p. 37⟩true God in their Images, Rom. 1.23. They turned the glory of the true God into the similitude of a corruptible creature; much more then the Israelites who took their Idolatry from them: and therefore in the second Commandment is forbidden the making of Images of the true God, and not of false only, as the Papists would falsely teach us. The second reason is in Deut. 4.15.16. where Moses making a Commentary upon this commandment, and forbidding to make any representation of any figure, addeth this reason: Ye saw no image in the day that the Lord spake out of Horeb: and therefore Moses understood the Commandment as we do, namely not to make any Image of the true God. The third reason is in the words, Thou shalt not make the image of any thing that is in heaven above. &c. Seeing then that God is in heaven above, as also the Saints and Angels, we must make no Image to represent them: for even Images of the true God are Idols, hated of God, and condemned in the Scriptures: so the golden Calf is called an Idol, Act. 7.41.
