When as therefore Sacrifices from the beginning have been offered to God alone, it followeth that they at this day are inexcusable, which adjoin some as fellows, with God, and unto mortal men or Angels, offer their Sacrifices. Howe may this be borne in Christians, sith the Gentiles always have confessed that they took them always as Gods unto whom they were accustomed to offer their sacrifices? But seeing now God pronounceth his chiefest Sacrifices? ⟨p. 29⟩But now seeing God pronounceth his chiefest Sacrifice to be Invocation, as we read Psa. 50. 1In the Papacy all Religion is quite perverted, when as they not only invocate God, but also the very creatures, neither doubt they more often to flee for succour unto Peter or Paul, yea, even to Saints of their own making, counterfeit and feigned, then unto one God. When as therefore they spoil God of that his chiefest right, we perceive that with that their sacrilege they tread under foot all piety and godliness. If therefore profane men testified that they worshipped the Lord, and the God of Israel only, with that their outward sacrifice: let us at this day learn not to transfer the honour of good right belonging unto God, to the creatures, but let this honour, even that he only may be invocated, remain wholly and inviolable unto him: because this, even as I have said, is the chiefest and most precious sacrifice that he requireth and alloweth.
