Secondly, because Idols are served, attended and worshipped with much pain and grief. False worship, or the worship of Idols, is always more servile and painful then true worship is.

Yet I am afraid of all my works, the anger of God will surely soak through them all, or find holes and breaches in them to come in upon me at.
