I'll break down their Altars, and will spoil their Images.
I'le break down their Altars, and will spoil their Images.
From whence our Note is this;1 We must not break down superstitious and Idolatrous things to make up our own broken estates, for our outward advantage. We should labour the abolishing of those things, and not our own benefit by them; as certainly many do in breaking down things that are naught and superstitious, they endeavour to make up their broken estates and to gain to themselves that way, and there's all they aim at: but saith God, I'll break them down and utterly spoil them; so should we, and look not to our own advantage.
