How doth God complain by the Prophets against his People of old, for presuming to change his Laws, Deut. 12. 13? God gave particular Command to make an Altar of Gold to offer Incense, Exod. 40. 5. and he commanded, Exod. 20. 24, 25. that his Altar should be made of Earth or rough Stone: but in Isa. 65. 3. he reproves their horrid Transgressions and Disobedience, in acting contrary to his express Institution. A People (saith God) that provoketh me to Anger continually to my Face, that sacrificeth in Gardens, and burneth Incense upon Altars of Brick. You may think that was no great Error, instead of Gold or Stone, to make Altars of Brick: but what saith God? they for this, &c. provoke me continually to my Face. O tremble ye who adventure to transgress God's Precept in as bad or worse a manner! Who commanded you to baptize or dip Believers in the Name of the Father, &c. and you rantize or sprinkle Infants? Alas, you know not how you hereby provoke God! although he is yet silent, and doth not manifest his Displeasure, yet know he is a jealous God and hath the like Zeal for his Gospel-Institutions, as ever he had of those under the Law, and may manifest it too in his own time. But to proceed, and call in for more Witnesses against your Practice.
