making the breadth of the Cou●t fifty cubits at either end for just in the middle the house tooke up ten cubits breadth just so were the Pillars set at the East end at the same distance from the house and from one another On the sides upon the hookes of the Pillars were hangings fastned made of linnen well twisted of an hundred cubits in length and five in height at the west end were the like just halfe so long and just so high At the East end there was some difference for that had three peeces to make it up On either side of the entrance was a peece hung of fifteene cubits long and of the same height Just in the middle was a peece of twenty cubits long of the same height with the other hangings but of more rich stuffe for whereas the other were made onely of linnen this was of the same stuffe that the rich c●rtaines were curiously wrought with the needle To fasten these hangings that they might not flie up in the lower end there were cords fastned to them and these cords tied to brasen pins which pins were fastned in the ground and so made all sure Thus were also the curtaines that covered the house served with pins of the same metall with cords fastned to them in like manner to prevent the like inconvenience So was the Court called the Court of the people because into this the people had entrance as well as the Priests and Levites SECT. XLIII Of the Altar of Burnt Offerings IN the Court of the people stood the Altar of burnt sacrifice up toward the Tabernacle that the people might stand to beho d the sacrifice offered with their faces toward the holy place onely the Laver stood above the Altar betweene it and the Tab●●nacle This Altar was made of Shittim wood five cubits or two yards and a halfe long and as much broad and one yard and a halfe high thus made First a strong frame like the frame of a Table of these dimensions The open places in the frame were made up with boards All this bulke was overlaid with brasse at each corner was a horne made of the same wood and peece that each corner post was of Thus stood it hollow and within the hollow just in the middle betweene bottome and top was set a brasen grate made in manner of a net that the Ashes might fall through upon this grate the fire burnt continually and never went out At each corner of this grate was a brasen ring which at each corner came through the Altar frame and hung out of the frame in these rings were ●●aves of Shittim wood overlaid with brasse put which made the frame and the grate sure together and so were they also carried together To this Altar belonged divers appurtenances made of brasse As first brasen Pans in which they carried forth the Ashes of the Altar As also brasen shovels to scrape the Ashes together Then brasen bason● wherein to take the blood of the sacrifice Brasen hookes with which they turned the burning peeces into the fire if any part lay out that so every part might bee surely burnt Lastly brasen dishes or Censors in which the Priests took burning coales from the Altar to carry into the Holy place there to offer incense SECT. XLIIII Of the Laver for water IN this court also stood a vessell of brasse upon a foot or base of brasse in which vessell water was kept for the Priests washing themselves c. The forme of this is not expressed in the Text therefore we will looke onely at the matter and the end This vessell was made of brazen bright peeces which the women used to looke their faces in and out of this piece water was taken when a suspected woman was to be tryed The end why this was set so nigh the Altar was that the Priests might wash themselves when they went about the service of the Tabernacle and that they might wash some part of the sacrifices This Laver fitly resembled the water of Baptisme that admits us to sacred Mysteries and chiefely the blood of Christ that cleanseth us from al filthinesse of flesh and spirit SECT. XLVI High Priests Garments NExt unto his flesh he had a coate wrought checker worke this reacht downe to his heeles such a coate as this each one of his sonnes had Exod. 39. 27. This was made of fine linnen and it was girded to him about his loynes with a needle-wrought girdle of divers colours About this he put another coate called the coate of the Ephod because the Ephod being put upon this did gird it This coate was all of one stuffe and colour namely of fine yarne dyed purple This coate he put not on after the ordinary fashion of putting on coates which were open before but this he put on like a Surplesse over his head for it had a hole in the top wherethrough he put his head and this hole w●s edged about with an edging of the same stuffe woven in that the hole should not rent At the skirts of this coate were made Pomegranates of linnen and woollen of divers colours and Bells of gold so that there were a Bell and a Pomegranate a Bell and a Pomegranate round about This coate was not so long as the under coate for then the Bells would have drawne on the ground and would not have beene heard which to have missed had beene death to Aaron this represented to the Priests that the sound of good doctrine and fruit of good living must alwayes be about them as these Bells and Pomegranates This coate also did fitly resemble Christs humane nature First as this was of one stuffe without mixture so that without corruption Secondly as this was put on after an extraordinary manner so Christ put on humanity by an extraordinary conception and generation Thirdly as was the edge about the hole to keepe it from renting such was the unseparable union of Christs two natures Fourthly as were the Bells and Pomegranates such were his life and doctrine SECT. XLVII High Priests Ephod. ABove this he put the Ephod the materialls of which were fine yarne or threds dyed blew and purple and scarlet and with every thred of these was twisted a thred of gold fitly shewing the purity and holinesse of the Priest in every action as also most fitly resembling the lustre of the deity shining in each of Christs humane actions The word Ephod doth generally signifie any thing that girdeth a man so the word originally signifies More particularly it betokens garments or other things used in divine servic● So Samuel ministred before Eli in a linnen Ephod or a linnen coate girded to him So David when he brought up the Arke to Jerusalem being desirous to be as Priest-like as he might he was cloathed with such a garment a linnen Ephod So the abomination which Gideon made Judg. 8. 27. is called an Ephod. Because he made it to resemble that Ephod which he
