1. There is no sin to which we are in more danger, than Idolatry; Moses back was no sooner turned, but the people made them a brazen Calf, and bowed down to it, and worshipped it as their brazen God, (Exod. 32. v. 4.) Jehojada was no sooner dead, but Joash returned to Idolatry. If we were not prone this to sin, what is the reason all the World turns Antichristians so universally? 2. As there is no sin to which we are in more danger, so there is no sin by which we are in more danger, than Idolatry. I do confess if you will keep your garments clean, and undefiled with the mark of the Beast, it may be you may come under shrewd temptations; yet I entreat you as a dying man, as you love your souls, and for Gods sake, flee from Idolatry, notwithstanding your temptations that happen to you, he will support you, if you flee, and withstand the thing you are tempted to, (1 Cor. 10. verse 13.) There hath no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, and will not suffer you to be ⟨image 160⟩tempted above that you are able to bear, but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it: Now see what use the Apostle makes of this promise; in the next Verse he follows with these words, Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from Idolatry, Seeing God will uphold us; let us withstand any temptations, to this end, that God may uphold us. This is the second Caution.
