Romans1:25

Who changed the truth of God into a lye and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator , who is blessed for ever. Amen .

i. e. The God of Truth, or the True God into an Idol, which is a Lye, which seems to be that which it is not; or else by the Truth of God, understand those true Sentiments and Notions, that they had of God, and were taught them as before, by the Light of Nature, and the Book of the Creature; these they chang'd into Lying Imaginations and Conceits.

Or, besides the Creators: Some understand it comparatively, they Worshipt one more than the other; others exclusively, they Worshipt one and not the other. They were guilty of two great Errors, one was in their Minds, they changed the Truth of God into a Lye: The other in their Wills, they served the Creature more than the Creator.

When the Hebrews of old made mention of the True God ▪ they were wont to add these words, Let him be blessed for ever.
