Being more largely considered, it is broken two ways.
1 When what is proper and Essential to God, is denied to him in effect, or practically; as wh •n he is not accounted Eternal, Omnipotent, one blessed God in three Persons: And thus men are guilty, either in Opinion or in practise, when they walk so before God, as if they thought him not Omnipotent, Omniscient, &c. And so Tit. 1.16. it is said of some, that they profess to know God, but in works they deny him.
2 It is broken, when any thing unbecoming the Holy Majes •y of God is attributed unto him; as that he changeth, favoureth profanity, &c. So Psal. 50.21. it is said of some profane men, that they thought him like unto themselves. These two may be called more general Idolatry; we shall speak f •rther to them afterward.
