Ezekiel8:10
Ver. 10. And behold every form of creeping things] Theſe, belike, were their dii minorum gentium, their petty-deities, their vulgar idols; whereof as there was great ſtore, ſo not ſo great reſpect given unto them. This piece of idolatry the Jews had learned of the Egyptians, who madly worſhiped Oxen, Aſſes, Goats, Dogs, Cats, Serpents, Crocodils, the bird Ibis, &c. Praeter impietatem ingens ſtultitiae exuperantia oſtenditur, ſaith Theodoret on this text: beſides their impiety, were theſe men in their wits, think we? And what ſhall we ſay of Popiſh ſuperſtition? Do not they religiouſly worſhp Agnus Dei's, reliques of Saints, painted doves reſembling the Holy Ghoſt, the Aſſe whereon Chriſt rod, they ſay, Wolph. mem. lect. on Palm-Sunday? The tayl of that Aſſe they ſhew ſtill at Genua, and require low obeyſance to be done thereunto.
