2. THESIS.

The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament in many places set forth and command to ask for, follow after, walk in that one good way, to strive and contend earnestly for that one faith, to hold fast the truth, to serve God only; and on the contrary reproves, prohibits, condemns turning aside to the right hand or to the left, or halting between two or more religions and worships; hence those complaints (1 Kings 18:21) of the people halting between two opinions, between God and Baal, of fearing the Lord, and serving their own Gods after the manner of the nations (2 Kings 17:33, 41), of worshipping and swearing by the Lord and by Malcham (Zephaniah 1:5), and those prohibitions of not letting cattle gender with a diverse kind, of not sowing fields with mingled seed, of not wearing garments mingled of linen and woolen, of not sowing of vineyards of divers seeds, and of not ploughing with an ox and an ass together (Leviticus 19:19; Deuteronomy 22:9, 10).
