1 Idolatry may be disting •i ••ed, 1. Into Idolatry against the first Commandment, when worship is not directed to the right, but to the wrong object; and Idolatry against the second Commandment, which striketh against the prescribed manner of worshipping God: We are now to speak to the first.

2 This Idolatry is either 1. Doctrinal, or Idolatry in the Judgment, when one prof •ssedly b •lieveth such a thing beside Go • to have some Divinity in it; as Heathens do of their Mars and Jupiter, and Papists do of their Saints: Or 2. It is practical, when men believe no such thing, and will not own any such Opinion, yet on the matter they are guilty of the same thing as covetous men, &c. The first taketh in all Heathens, Turks, H •reticks, that by their Doctrines and Opinions wrong the true God, or his worship: The second take •th in all self-seeking, ambitious, covetous, and voluptuous persons, &c. who fall in with the former in their practise, though not in Opinion.
