John Trapp on Daniel 3:6

Ver. 6. And who ſo falleth not down and worſhippeth, &c.] Fire and ſword are Idolaters beſt arguments. But Conſcience is the fountain and ſpring of duty; and if that be not directed and awed by the Word of God, in vain are Acts of Parliament and Proclamations, though backed with menaces: as if the ſpring of a clock be down, in vain are all the wheels kept clean, and put in order.
