1. What violence is not meant here: 1This violence in the text excludes 1. An ignorant violence; to be violent for that which we do not understand, Acts 17. 23. As I passed by, and beheld your Devotions, I found an Altar with this Inscription, [Greek or Hebrew], To the unknown God. These Athenians were violent in their devotion; but it might be said to them, as Christ said to the Woman of Samaria, Joh. 4. 22. Ye worship ye know not what. Thus the Papists are violent in their Religion, witness their penance, fasting, dilacerating themselves till the blood comes, but it is a Zeal without Knowledge: their Metal is better than their Eye-sight. When Aaron was to burn the Incense upon the Altar, he was •st to light the lamp•, Exod. 30. 7. When ⟨p. 9⟩zeal like incense burns, first the lamp of knowledge must be lighted.
