Such, for example, was Nebuchadnezzar. Such also are those who believe more in their own pleasures than in the precepts of God. We must therefore avoid all these things. The first reason is the dignity of God which, were it belittled in any way, would be an injury to God. We see something similar to this in the customs of men.
Reverence is due to every degree of dignity.
Thus, a traitor to the king is he who robs him of what he ought to maintain. God's bounty We also should worship only God because we receive every good from Him. You observe days and months and times and years. The third reason we should worship the one God is taken from our solemn promise. For we have renounced the Devil and we have promised fidelity to God alone.
