I might also add, that many say their fathers lived so, and died in that religion,1 which reason is with many of great force. Such things without doubt did the Jews think upon. But it is marvellous to behold their stubbornness. It seemeth that they had wholly bent their minds, perpetually to resist their God. When God would have them to observe his ceremonies, they sought for other ceremonies at the hands of the people that were nigh unto them. And for as much as God hath now decreed, that those ceremonies should by Christ be made of none effect, and they will still keep them: they do therein that which overthwart wives are wont to do, when the husband will, they will not, when he will not, then they again will. They did not only worship Baal and Ashtaroth, but also the Gods of Aram, & Zidon, the Gods of the Moabites, and of ⟨p. 174⟩the children of Ammon, and also the Gods of the Pelisthims. If we mark the number, they worshipped seven kinds of Idols.
