Doct. 7. Who so giveth this honour, or any part of it, to any other than God, they set up a false God to themselves, and so are Idolaters.
It is gathered from this; Ye shall have no other God. That is; give not this honour to another, that is not true God by nature or essence: For against this command men sin three manner of ways, 1. If we give not this honour to God 2▪ If we give it to another, that is not God. 3. If we fight or dispute against God, or this honour of his: Who so sin against God in the first way, they are profane; in the second, they are Idolaters; in the third, they are enemies to God.
