For prayer is the true sacrifice of praise: by which one gives honor and glory to God, to Him alone we have cried for help (Ps. 50:14-15). And yet He wishes to be honored by this honor, and does not want it to be given to another (Isa. 42:8): as it appears by His first commandment. It is then great idolatry and very displeasing to God if one resorts to another than to Him (William Farel’s Summary (1529) in 16th & 17th Century Reformed Confessions, Vol. 1, 75).
