good, that sith Christ by the law challengeth to God onely that which the diuel required of him, which was to fall downe and wor∣ship him, we are thereby to learne that we are not to fall downe and to worship any creature, not the Saints themselues, much lesse the vile idols that are set vp in their names. Here I know what they are ready to except, that Christ saith not there, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God onely, but Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and leaueth only to the other part, Him only thou shalt serue, as not deny∣ing but that other things may be worshipped beside God, but only denying vnto thē the seruice of latria, the word there being 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, whence latria is deriued, which they say is the seruice peculiar vnto God. But how vaine this exception is, appeareth by conside∣ring the originall words of the law, which saith in like sort of both, Thou shalt feare the Lord thy God, and thou shalt serue him, adding the word onely to neither part. The name of feare is more generall, and containeth all religion and deuotion towards God, but in steed thereof our Sauiour Christ nameth worship, which is a part of that feare, fitting the words to the present occasion, and yet not forcing the law, because the challenge that God maketh to the whole, must necessarily be vnderstood of euery part. Now whereas the sentences in the law are set downe without the limitation of the word onely, our Sauiour Christ to shew the meaning of the Scripture in such speeches concerning God, addeth that limitation to the latter part, not as to make that onely peculiar to God, and to leaue the former in common to others, but in the one teaching vs what we are to vnderstand in both, because by what reason the one is appropriated to God, by the same is the other also, and lea∣uing vs to conceiue that whatsoeuer God challengeth as a part of his worship and glory, the same is to be giuen to no other beside him. To which purpose Tertullian very wel saith. Truth so requireth in the defending of one God, that what is his, be his alone; for so shall it be his, if it be onely his. And so did Ambrose vnderstand the words of Christ, when he sayth, We reade that nothing beside God is to be wor∣shipped, because it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him onely thou shalt serue. And to take it otherwise, taketh away the force of Christs exception against the diuell; for it is no sufficient reason to say, I will not worship thee, because it is said, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, if other things may be worshipped be∣side
