That it may appear, that these three sorts of people do not worship the true God, but even the devil himself, let us mark these 2 principles. First, that all doctrines set down and invented by man, concerning Gods service and worship, being against the word of God, they be the doctrines of Devils: so saith Paul 1. Tim. 4. 1. 3. that there shall come false teachers, which shall teach doctrines ⟨p. 106⟩of Devils: and what are these? Vers. 3. he saith: Such as forbid to marry: and teach men that some meats be holy in themselves, & some unholy and not lawful to be eaten. The second principle is this, all worship of God devised by man, being against the word of God, is the doctrine of Devils. So the Gentiles offering to Idols Paul saith they offered to Devils:1 yet none of them intended that, but rather by the idols offered to God. So whatsoever worship shall be invented, being against the word of God, it is indeed the worship of the Devil, not of God.
That it may appeare, that these three sorts of people do not worship the true God, but euen the diuell himselfe, let vs marke these 2 principles. First, that al doctrines set downe and inuented by man, concerning Gods seruice and worship, being against the word of God, they be the doctrines of Diuels: so saith Paule 1. Tim. 4. 1. 3. that there shall come false teachers, which shall teach doctrines ⟨p. 106⟩of Diuels: and what are these? Vers. 3. he saith: Such as forbid to marrie: and teach men that some meates be holy in themselues, & some vnholy and not lawfull to be eaten. The second principle is this, all worship of God deuised by man, being against the word of God, is the doctrine of Diuels. So the Gentiles offering to Idols Paule saith they offered to Diuels:1 yet none of them intended that, but rather by the idols offered to God. So whatsoeuer worship shall be inuented, being against the word of God, it is indeed the worship of the Diuell, not of God.
