Isaiah40:19
Ver. 19. The workman melteth a graven Image] That may be afterward graved and gilded over.
And caſteth ſilver chaines] To faſten it to the place; Or, he raileth it in. Et niſi homini Deus placuerit, Deus non erit, ſaith Tertullian. Numa, ſecond King of Romans, ſaw this great vanity, and therefore forbad Images of the gods in Temples:Plut. in Numa. So do the Turkes at this day, to the ſhame of Papiſts Idolomania.
