Note how oft Moses stirreth them up to believe and to trust in god, putting them in remembrance alway in time of temptation of the miracles and wonders which god had wrought before time in their eyesight. How diligently also forbiddeth he all that might with draw their hearts from god? to put nought to God's word: to take nought therefrom: to do only that which is right in the sight of the Lord: that they should make no manner image to kneel down before it: yea that they should make none altar of hewed stone for fear off images: ⟨image 93⟩to slay the heathen Idolaters utterly and to destroy their Idols and cut down their groves where they worshipped: And that they should not take the daughters of them unto their sons, nor give their daughters to the sons of them. And that whosoever moved any of them to worship false gods, how so ever nigh of kin he were, they must accuse him and bring him to death, yea and wheresoever they hard of man, woman or city that worshipped false gods, they must slay them and destroy the city for ever and not build it again. And all because they should worship nothing but God, nor put confidence in anything save in his word Ye and how warneth he to beware of witch craft, sorcery, enchantment, necromancy and all crafts of the devil, and of dreamers, soothsayers and of miracle doers to destroy his word, and that they should suffer none such to live,
