now in the Cause of God) whether our God, who will be
knowne to be transcendently Iealous of his owne Honour, would

Idolatry, by many hundred-fold, than possibly any can be to any
materiall Parricide, or materiall Murther, or materiall Adulte∣ry,
or any other hainous and materiall Transgression, that can
be named under the Sun. Thus much of your first Pretence, for
