Thirdly, we may observe, that after men have forsaken the 1Lord and his pure worship, and given themselves over to commit idolatry, they can contain themselves in no moderation, but behave themselves most shamefully, infinitely multiplying their superstitions, and kinds of idolatry, according to the variety of every mans invention. An example whereof we have in the old Egyptians, in the Gentiles, Rom. 1. In the Papists at this day, whose idolatries are manifold, and their superstitions innumerable: for they do not only make Idols, but they also worship them, by kneeling and praying unto them, offering unto them incense and oblations, consecrating unto them Churches, going on pilgrimage, ascribing unto them power to do miracles and forgive sins. The consideration whereof should make us most carefully to avoid all will-worship, and to restrain our selves unto that worship which God hath revealed in his word.
