Deuteronomy4:15
15 Take ye therefore good heed unto your selves (for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb m, out of the midst of the fire.)
By which caution he insinuates mans great proneness to the worship of images God, who in other places and times did appear in a similitude, in the fashion of a man, now in this most solemn appearance, when he comes to give eternal Laws for the regulation and direction of the Israelites in the worship of God, and in their duty to men, he purposely avoids all such representations, to shew that he abhors all Worship of images, or of himself by images of what kind soever, as it here follows ver 16, 17, 18, 19▪ because he is the invisible God and cannot be represented by any visible image. See Isa. 40. 18. Act. 17. [illegible: 1+ letters]9.
