Ezekiel43:8
Ver. 8. In their ſetting of their threſhold by my threſholds] By broaching falſhoods for truth, and ſetting humane devices in competition with the good Word of God. That deteſtable decree of the Council of Trent is well known, whereby the Apocrypha[illegible: 1 letter] is ſet cheek by joule (as they ſay) with the holy Canon: the Vulgar Tranſlation, with the Original: traditions, with Scriptures; and unwritten verities, with thoſe that are written. This is intolerable preſumption: Jews and Turks do the like in their Talmud and Alchoran: that I ſpeak not of our Sect-Maſters who boldly obtrude their Placits without juſt proof, and require to be beleeved.
And the wall between me and them] Which they have wretchedly ſet up by their ſins, to their ſingular diſadvantage, Eſa. 59.2. or they have come under my noſe, as it were, to provoke me. Or, the nearer they were to Church, the further from God.
