_Sect._ 6. Fourthly, That whereunto more respect and account is given than God alloweth to be given to it, and wherein more excellency is placed than God hath put into it, or will at all communicate to it, is an idol exalted against God; which maketh Zanchius to say,(661) _Si Luthero vel Calvino tribuas, quod non potuerant errare, idola tibi fingis._ Now, when Hooker(662) accounteth festival days, for God’s extraordinary works wrought upon them, to be holier than other days, what man of sound judgment will not perceive that these days are idolised, since such an eminence and excellency is put in them, whereas God hath made no difference betwixt them and any other days? We have seen also that the ceremonies are urged as necessary,(663) but did ever God allow that things indifferent should be so highly advanced at the pleasure of men? And, moreover, I have shown(664) that worship is placed in them; in which respect they must needs be idols, being thus exalted against God’s word, at which we are commanded to hold us in the matter of worship. Last of all, they are idolatrously advanced and dignified, in so much as holy mystical significations are given them, which are a great deal more than God’s word alloweth in any rites of human institution, as shall be shown(665) afterwards; and so it appeareth how the ceremonies, as now urged and used, are idols. Now to kneeling in the act of receiving the Lord’s supper, which I will prove to be direct and formal idolatry; and from idolatry shall it never be purged while the world standeth, though our opposites strive for it, _tanquam pro aris et focis_.
