@Jer 19:1.

19:5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their
sons with fire [for] burnt offerings to Baal, which I {c}

mind:
(c) By which is declared that whatever is not commanded by
God's word concerning is service is against his word.

of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because
of all the {f} houses upon whose {g} roofs they have

the papists.
