§. 75. Of the difference between Divine and Civil Worship.
Divine worship, is that which is performed in acknowledgement of Deity, or any divine excellency, in that to whom it is performed. kThis is due to God alone. For it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve, Matth. 4. 10. That exclusive particle, only, must be referred to worship, as well as to serve, or else it gives not a full answer to the devils temptation. For where the devil tempted Christ to worship him, Christ repels it with this answer, thou shalt worship the Lord. Now the sense of the answer lieth in this, that God only is to be worshipped; therefore none else. Nor Apostle (Acts 10. 26.) nor Angel (Rev. 19. 10.) would accept such worship tendered to them; because it was proper to God alone. Yea Mordecai would rather hazard his own and all the Jews lives, then yield such worship to a mere man, Hest. 3. 2. The fiery furnace could not move Daniels three companions to yield worship to an Image, Dan. 3. 18.
