Jeremiah44:19

Ver. 19. And when we burnt incenſe to the Queen of heaven] So the Papiſts alſo call the Virgin Mary, and idolize her, as the word here rendered to worſhip her doth properly ſignify: idoli rejectitii appellationem in eam transferentes.

Did we make her cakes without our men?] i. e. Without our husbands privity and approbation? But is that a ſufficient excuſe? ſhould not God be obeyed rather then men?Plutarch. Moral. 318. A wife is not to perform ſuch blind obedience to her husband as Plutarch preſcribeth, when he layeth it as a law of wedlock on the wife, to acknowledge and worſhip the ſame gods and none elſe, but thoſe whom her husband honoureth, and reputeth for gods.
