1First, they give the honour due to God to others, which is Idolatry, the religious worship only due unto God they give unto other things. Christ when he said, him only shalt thou serve: ⟨p. 334⟩[…] ⟨p. 335⟩[…] ⟨p. 336⟩excepted the least divine worship from the creature. The Devil we know would have had him fall down before him: but Christs answer is, Him only shalt thou serve; that is him only shalt thou religiously prostrate thy self unto; so that religious worship is proper to God only. Now this they give to Saints, for they pray to them, which is a religious worship.
