The great danger of Sacriledge. [ 212]
IT is no Christian, but a right Heathenish trick to demolish holy places, or through
sloth,* 1.1 and covetousnes to suffer them to fall. Nay, the very Heathens would never do
that to the Temples of their false Gods, that we Christians do to the house of the
true God, for they hated and fled from all sacrilegious persons. Were the Church
leprous we could do no more then pluck out the stones,* 1.2 as they did in the old Law in
a leprous house;* 1.3 nay they would not even in such a house pluck out all the stones,
as they do in Churches, but onely such as were leprous: Well, let such know, that
next to the injury done against the Temple of mans body, there can be no greater in∣jury
descriptionPage 52
then that which is done against the body of the Temple,* 1.4 and one day all such
sacrilegious, irreligious, prophane persons may chance to feel that whip upon their
conscience, which sometime Celsus felt: who after the robbing and prophaning of
many Churches, hearing one day that place of Esay read; Woe unto them that join
house to house,* 1.5that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in
the midst of the Earth; cryed out immediately. Vae mihi & filiis me••s, Wo then be
to me and my children for ever.
