The anxiety of care taken by the priests of Jehovah to
remove pull down level the altars and high places of
Baal is well known. Under the theocratical government
of the nations of Palæstine, the priests who
worshipped God under announced God by different names were reciprocally
pretenders to the throne: idolatry was treason.
The care taken provisions made by the British Parliament
to prohibit for prohibiting preventing the introduction importation of those sacred implements
on which a papist sets a value haves a
utility of the same nature though not equal in degree.

13 El. c. 2. s. 7, 8, 10
3 J. c. 5. s. 25, 26.
High-places seem to have been among the
necessities of the religion of Baal: whereas agnus
deis, consecrated crosses, and all those other implements
articles of foreign manufacture which protestants
mention reprobate under the name of popish
trumperies, were is or are rather the luxuries than
the necessities of catholicism. Such prohibitions, could
they be enforced, would tend rather to distress the religionists
than to extirpate or even discourage the religion.
With regard to such of them however as
come immediately from the Pope, the exclusion
might be the more material inasmuch as the
contemplation of them might tend to cement the men's attachment
of men to that foreign power; and the expence of money sent
those out of the kingdom for those holy articles trinkets render'd the prohibition of
them a measure of political oeconomy.
