Strange Worship

STRANGE Worship. The Hebrews thus call’d all kinds of Idolatry, Superstition, all Imitation of the Worship of strange Nations and Idolaters, all Sacrilege, all religious Worship that was perform’d, even to the True God, in a Place, and at a Time, or even in a Manner, different from what he had appointed: All this is call’d Strange Worship, because it was not conformable to that of the Patriarchs and the Fathers of their Nation.
