Isaiah41:7
Ver. 7. So the Carpenter encouraged the Gold-ſmith] Becauſe no ſmall gain was brought hereby unto theſe crafts-men, Acts 19.24, 25. The Jew-doctours tell us, that Terah the father of Abraham was an Image-maker at Ʋr of the Chaldees, till God called him thence. Hyperius ſaith, that all theſe words are to be taken as pronounced with irriſion and contempt, that ſo the vanity of Idols may the more plainly be perceived: ſith they have no more worth then is given them by their worſhippers.
