Baals Prophets,1 1 Kings 18. 28. were so hot and hasty in their will-worship, that they cut themselves with knives, and lancers, till the blood gushed out upon them. The Papists they whip themselves, they vow Continency, perpetual Poverty, and Regular Obedience, and yet is the profession and practice of both, bloody and idolatrous. When the Jews worshipped God after the devised fashions of the Gentiles, though their meaning was to worship nothing but God, yet the Text saith, they worshipped nothing but Devils, 2Deut. 32. 17. And God there protests, that therefore a fire was kindled in his wrath, that should burn unto the bottom of Hell, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. So hated of Almighty God is all service and worship devised by the wit and will of man, without warrant in the Word of God.
