A. The Sin here forbidden is the corruption of Gods Worship, by making any similitude of any Person in the Godhead, and performing Divine Worship before it, or to it, Exod. 32.8. They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten cal•, and have worshipped, and have sacrificed thereunto▪ and said▪ these be thy Gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. Deut. 4.15, 16. Take ye therefore good heed unto your selves▪ (for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb, out of the midst of the fire▪) lest ye corrupt your selves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female.
