12. Errors conceived, or false imaginations and opinions of him: as when §11. Some imagine there is no God. §22. Some feign that there are moe gods: as in ancient times the Heathen, the Manichees, &c. §33. If they profess it not in words, yet in deed they make gods, while they ascribe those things to creatures, which are proper to God only: as the Papists, who make their prayers unto Angels, and men departed. For prayer and invocation attributeth unto him who is invocated, infinite wisdom and power. Wherefore Paul saith, that they who pray to creatures,2 Turn the glory of the uncorruptible God, to the similitude of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of four-footed beasts, and of creeping things; And, Turn the truth of God into a lye, and worship and serve the creature, forsaking the Creator. So neither will the Angel suffer John to worship him, and addeth this reason; I am thy fellow-servant, 3and one of thy brethren, which have the testimony of Jesus: worship God. §44. In like manner also they imagine ⟨p. 534⟩false opinions of God, who know God to be but one, but know not the true God, which hath revealed himself in the Gospel: as the sounder Philosophers, and Mahumets Sectaries. 5. And so they also, who profess that they know that one and true God, but yet slide and fall from him, and in place of him worship an Idol which they make unto themselves, because they imagine this God to be some other kind of god then he hath revealed himself to be in his word; as Jews, Samosatenians, Arians, Pneumatomachi, &c.4 He that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father. He that denieth the Son, hath not the Father.
