Isaiah2:8

Ver. 8. Their land alſo is full of Idols] As Babylon a land of Idols, Jer. 50.38. As Athens wholly given to Idolatry, Act. 17.16. As China is ſaid to have in it at this day an hundred thouſand gods. And what ſhall we think of Popiſh mawmets? the word here rendred Idols, ſignifieth Nihilitates nothingneſſes: for an Idol is nothing in the world, 1 Cor. 8.4.

They worſhip the work of their own hands] Sceleſtum & immane facinus, dirum ſcelus & execrandum; effraenata & praeceps amentia. See chap. 44.15, 18.
