Romans1:23

Verſe 23. Made like to corruptible man] God made man in his own image: And (to be even with him, as it were) will needs make God, after his image.

And fourfooted beasts] God therefore juſtly gave them up to Sodomy, whith did abaſe them below the beaſts: that there might be an analogy between the ſin and the puniſhment. This is called a meet recompence, ver. 27. They diſhonoured God, they diſhonoured therefore themſelves. They would not know nor honour him, they ſhall not therefore know, nor ſpare one another, &c. ſo ſeverely will God puniſh the contempt of rebellion againſt the light.

And creeping things] In Lapland the people worſhip that all day for a god, Abbots his Geog. whatſoever they ſee firſt in the morning, be it a bird or worme.
