Jeremiah10:8
Ver. 8. But they are altogether brutiſh and fooliſh] The wiſe men are, for that when they knew there was but one only true God (as did Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, Seneca, &c.) they detained the truth in unrighteouſneſſe, and taught the people to worſhip ſtocks and ſtones, Rom. 1.21, 22, 23. The Nations are, becauſe they yeeld to be taught devotion by images, under what pretext ſoever. Conſiderentur hic ſubterfugia Papistarum. Pope Gregory firſt taught that images in Churches were Laey-mens books. A doctrine of devils.
