1Idolatry, which is most of all repugnant unto the true knowledge of God, and to faith. Now there are two kinds of Idolatry. 1. when in profession another is worshipped, then that one true God: or, when that is worshipped for God, which is no God. This kind of Idolatry is more gross and palpable, and doth properly belong unto the first Commandment. 2. When in profession or professedly we worship not another god, but we err in the manner of worship: that is, when albeit the true God is worshipped; yet nevertheless he is worshipped after another manner, then God himself hath in the second Commandment, and also commonly in his word prescribed, either by internal worship, or by external worship, or external rites or ceremonies. This other kind of Idolatry is more fly and wily, and is condemned and forbidden in the second Commandment. For they who worship God in Images, though they deny that they worship any other besides the true God, yet notwithstanding are Idolaters. For they imagine God to be such a god as will be worshipped in Images, and so change the will of God, and by changing Gods will, change even God himself.
