The Replier not being willing to spend time about the comparison betwixt Popish, and Paganish Idolatry, referred the Defendant to the Abridgement, and Mr. Parker. Hereupon the Rejoinder taketh upon him to answer ⟨p. 517⟩what is found in them, about this comparison. In which discourse, because many things before answered are repeated, to ease my self, and the Reader, of tedious labour, I will only note the main grounds of his answers, pertaining directly to that comparison, and then set down some plain testimonies of our divines about it; because he partly denieth, and partly shifteth off Mr. Parkers quotations. His principal ground of answer is, that the Papists do not sin against the first Commandment, in worshipping a false God; but against the second only, in worshipping the true God, in a false manner. This he produceth (pag. 618,) as Doctor Ames his judgement:¹ this he repeateth, pag. 624. and 630. But this is not so. For the wiser of the Heathen, knew well, that there was bat one true God, Creator of all things, and the ruder of the Papists, worship Creatures, more devoutly as divine objects, then those Heathen were wont to do.
