And this was that idolatrous superstition, which is so often condemned in the books of the Kings & Chronicles; namely, that they did worship in the groves and high places, yea & kings otherwise godly & religious, are blemished with this note of disgrace, that they suffered such kind of worship, and did not cut down the groves, and utterly demolish these idolatrous places. Thus Solomon sinned in erecting an high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the mountain, &c. as appeareth 1 King. 11. 7. And thus the Israelites 1daily provoked Gods anger against them, as we see both in this place & in divers others. Esa. 57. 7. Jer. 2. 20. Ezec. 6. 13.
