Ma. What is Idolatry?
Sch. To reverence with Godly worship any creatures, or to put our trust or comfort in them as Gods; which to do, were most abominable. For we ought to give all Godly honour only to his Majesty, the greatest love to his goodness; to fly to him, and to crave his help in all fears and dangers: and with thankfulness to acknowledge that we owe ourselves, and all things that we have, unto his goodness.
