And then further observe:1 Idols are to be broken in pieces; so God commanded, Exod. 34. 13. Deut. 7. 5. Ezek. 20. 7. with many other Scriptures; and thus godly Magistrates have ever done, broke Idols in pieces. And blessed be God for that that hath been done of late among us that so many Idols, and that great Idol that was in the eminent place of the City, that God put a spirit into those that were in Authority to break it in pieces: it must be done by the Magistrate.

I remember Austin in his sixth Sermon upon Christs Sermon, speaking of that place in Deut. 1. 5. first, saith he, You must possess the Land, and then, you must overthrow their Altars. And then notes, That those which have the possession of the Land, as now those Public places, men only in Authority have the possession of them, and therefore it is for them to break the Idols in pieces.
