Another ground of the Rejoinders is, that the Popish Idolatry may be, in some respect as great a sin, but not simply so great Idolatry. pag. 622. &c. To which I answer briefly, that there are such sins accompanying Popish Idolatry, as make it as detestable, as if it were one simply. As for example; the worst of the Heathens Idolatry was, that they sacrificed men unto their Idols: and the Papists burning of so many godly Martyrs, for the maintenance and promoting of their Idolatry, may be equalled thereto, in horror of sin.

The third ground which the Rejoinder buildeth on, is, that Achabs Baal was worse then Aaron's or Jeroboam's calves, &c. pag. 629. About this, Calvin shall answer, Hom. 1. de Fug. Idol. ¹Although I yield, that the Idolatry of the Gentiles of old, and of the Papists now, do differ, yet they cannot deny, that God did as severely forbid that wicked worship of Bethel, as all other superstitions which were set up in other places. But I say, that all they who truly fear and worship God, ought with so much the more detestation, and bitter hatred be against the Mass (by how much the more grossly it violates, and profaneth the holy institution of Christ) then if it had not been so Diademiterly contrary to it. Calvin seemeth here to utter greater Monsters, then those were which the Replier even now was accused for.
