They use to object also certain words out of the Epistle of Jeremy the Prophet, which are written about the end of a little book entitled of Baruch. 1And these are the words. In Babylon ye shall see Gods of gold and Silver borne upon mens shoulders, to caste out a fearfulness before the Heathen: Take heed ye follow not the Gentiles, when ye see the multitude of people worshipping behind and before. But say in your hearts. O Lord it is thou that oughtest only to be worshipped. &c. By these words do our Nicodemites think it to be sufficient, that they which are present at Idolatrous worshippings, do say in their hearts: O Lord it is thou that oughtest only to be worshipped. But they should more attentively consider, that the Prophet (if he were a Prophet which spake these words: which I therefore speak, because the little book of Baruch is Apochriphus,2 and is not found in the Hebrew) gave not the Jews liberty to go into the Temples of the Idols, and to be there present at profane and Idolatrous rites, and there to speak with the true God in themselves in their hart only. But he speaketh of those Images which were carried about the city: for that was the manner among the Babylonians as the history of Daniel testifieth,3 which maketh mention that an image set up by Nebuchadnezzar was openly carried about, with great pomp, and with Musical instruments and sundry songs. At the hearing whereof, all men were commanded to worship the Image which they beheld, which the fellows of Daniel would not do. Of those images I say, it is written in the Epistle and the Godly are faithfully admonished that they should not, as the Ethnics did, who were behind and before them, reverence or worship those images. Yea rather in detesting their wicked worshipping they should say, or at the least way in their hart: O Lord it is thou only that oughtest to be worshipped. These meetings coming by chance through the city could not be avoided, the Godly therefore were to be admonished, how in such meetings they should behave them selves.
They vse to obiecte also certayne woordes out of the Epistle of Ieremye the Prophet, which are written aboute the end of a litle booke entituled of Baruch. 1
