Footnotes

  1. 2 Chronicles 32:12 Thus the wicked put no difference between true religion and false, God and idols: for Hezekiah only destroyed idolatry, and placed true religion. Thus the Papists slander the servants of God: for when they destroy idolatry, they say that they abolish religion.
  2. 2 Chronicles 32:14 This is his blasphemy, that he will compare the living God to vile idols.
