of_o the_o evening_n and_o adam_n and_o his_o wife_n hide_v themselves_o from_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n among_o the_o tree_n of_o the_o garden_n which_o seem_v to_o intimate_v that_o there_o be_v some_o particular_a place_n in_o paradise_n where_o god_n use_v to_o meet_v with_o they_o from_o which_o they_o flee_v and_o by_o so_o do_v think_v to_o hide_v themselves_o from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n in_o the_o story_n of_o cain_n and_o abel_n this_o seem_v more_o plain_a there_o be_v at_o that_o time_n some_o peculiar_a place_n whither_o they_o bring_v their_o offering_n to_o god_n and_o therefore_o where_o god_n be_v suppose_v peculiar_o present_a to_o receive_v their_o offering_n gen._n 4._o 3_o 4._o and_o in_o v._o 14._o cain_n complain_v behold_v thou_o have_v drive_v i_o out_o this_o day_n from_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o from_o thy_o face_n shall_v i_o be_v hide_v that_o be_v from_o thy_o presence_n as_o it_o be_v expound_v for_o 16._o cain_n go_v out_o from_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o dwell_v in_o the_o land_n of_o nod._n where_o it_o be_v plain_a the_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n signify_v a_o certain_a place_n where_o god_n be_v so_o present_a as_o he_o be_v not_o in_o other_o place_n for_o we_o can_v never_o go_v out_o of_o the_o essential_a presence_n of_o god_n as_o the_o psalmist_n witness_n psalm_n 139._o 6_o 7_o 8_o 9_o whither_o shall_v i_o go_v then_o from_o thy_o spirit_n or_o whither_o shall_v i_o go_v from_o thy_o presence_n if_o i_o climb_v up_o into_o heaven_n thou_o be_v there_o if_o i_o go_v down_o into_o hell_n thou_o be_v there_o if_o i_o take_v the_o wing_n of_o the_o morning_n and_o remain_v in_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o sea_n even_o there_o also_o shall_v thy_o hand_n lead_v i_o and_o thy_o right_a hand_n shall_v hold_v i_o and_o therefore_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o land_n of_o nod_n be_v as_o much_o god_n presence_n as_o where_o abel_n and_o cain_n dwell_v before_o but_o cain_n go_v out_o from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n into_o the_o land_n of_o nod_n that_o be_v from_o that_o place_n where_o god_n dwell_v and_o converse_v with_o they_o into_o a_o land_n where_o he_o never_o vouchsafe_v such_o a_o peculiar_a presence_n in_o the_o history_n of_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n we_o not_o only_o learn_v that_o in_o those_o day_n they_o always_o have_v their_o peculiar_a and_o appropriate_a place_n of_o worship_n but_o that_o they_o pitch_v their_o tent_n and_o build_v their_o altar_n either_o in_o such_o place_n as_o god_n direct_v they_o to_o or_o where_o god_n appear_v to_o they_o and_o those_o be_v the_o place_n where_o god_n ordinary_o converse_v with_o they_o thus_o the_o lord_n appear_v unto_o abram_n in_o the_o place_n of_o sichem_n in_o the_o plain_a of_o moreh_n and_o there_o he_o build_v a_o altar_n unto_o the_o lord_n who_o appear_v unto_o he_o genes_n 12._o 6_o 7._o hither_o he_o return_v again_o when_o he_o come_v out_o of_o egypt_n unto_o the_o place_n of_o the_o altar_n which_o he_o have_v make_v there_o at_o first_o and_o there_o he_o call_v on_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n genes_n 13_o 4._o so_o that_o the_o appearance_n of_o god_n to_o he_o in_o this_o place_n have_v make_v it_o a_o stand_a place_n of_o worship_n and_o here_o god_n appear_v to_o he_o again_o and_o renew_v his_o promise_n to_o he_o after_o the_o departure_n of_o lot_n after_o this_o by_o god_n '_o be_v command_n abram_n remove_v his_o tent_n and_o dwell_v in_o the_o plain_a of_o mamre_n and_o there_o he_o build_v a_o altar_n to_o the_o lord_n genes_n 13._o 18._o and_o here_o god_n frequent_o appear_v to_o abram_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o 15_o 17_o 18_o chap._n thus_o when_o god_n appear_v to_o isaac_n at_o beersheba_n he_o build_v a_o altar_n and_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o pitch_v his_o tent_n and_o take_v up_o his_o abode_n there_o as_o in_o a_o place_n where_o god_n be_v present_a 26_o genes_n 24_o 25._o thus_o as_o jacob_n be_v go_v towards_o haran_n be_v force_v to_o lodge_v all_o night_n in_o the_o field_n in_o his_o dream_n he_o see_v a_o ladder_n set_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o top_n reach_v to_o heaven_n and_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n ascend_v and_o descend_v on_o it_o and_o god_n himself_o stand_v above_o it_o and_o renew_v his_o promise_n and_o covenant_n to_o jacob_n from_o hence_o jacob_n conclude_v that_o god_n be_v peculiar_o present_a in_o this_o place_n how_o dreadful_a be_v this_o place_n this_o be_v none_o other_o but_o the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o he_o call_v the_o place_n bethel_n and_o set_v up_o the_o stone_n for_o a_o pillar_n whereon_o he_o lay_v and_o pour_v oil_n on_o it_o and_o vow_v that_o if_o he_o come_v again_o in_o peace_n to_o his_o father_n house_n that_o stone_n which_o he_o have_v set_v up_o shall_v be_v god_n '_o be_v house_n 28_o gen._n and_o according_o when_o he_o be_v return_v from_o padan-aram_n god_n himself_o command_v he_o to_o go_v up_o to_o bethel_n and_o dwell_v there_o and_o to_o make_v there_o a_o altar_n to_o god_n who_o appear_v to_o he_o when_o he_o flee_v from_o the_o face_n of_o his_o brother_n esau_n 35_o genes_n 1._o after_o the_o day_n of_o the_o patriarch_n the_o next_o instance_n of_o this_o nature_n be_v that_o of_o moses_n to_o who_o god_n appear_v in_o a_o burn_a bush_n and_o say_v draw_v not_o nigh_o hither_o put_v off_o thy_o shoe_n from_o off_o thy_o foot_n for_o the_o place_n whereon_o thou_o stand_v be_v holy_a ground_n that_o be_v consecrate_v by_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n to_o who_o we_o must_v approach_v with_o all_o external_a reverence_n which_o pull_v off_o the_o shoe_n be_v a_o expression_n of_o in_o those_o eastern_a country_n 3_o exod._n 1_o etc._n etc._n and_o a_o like_a example_n we_o have_v in_o joshua_n 5_o chap._n 13_o 14_o 15._o and_o this_o be_v a_o true_a account_n of_o the_o holiness_n even_o of_o the_o jewish_a tabernacle_n and_o temple_n there_o be_v indeed_o great_a mystery_n conceal_v under_o type_n and_o figure_n but_o these_o type_n be_v not_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o place_n but_o god_n peculiar_a presence_n there_o when_o moses_n have_v set_v up_o the_o tabernacle_n a_o cloud_n cover_v the_o tent_n of_o the_o congregation_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n fill_v the_o tabernacle_n 40_o exod._n 34._o thus_o at_o the_o dedication_n of_o solomon_n temple_n when_o the_o priest_n be_v come_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a place_n the_o cloud_n fill_v this_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o that_o the_o priest_n can_v not_o stand_v to_o minister_v because_o of_o the_o cloud_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v fill_v the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n 1_o king_n 8._o 10_o 11._o this_o be_v a_o visible_a sign_n that_o god_n have_v take_v possession_n of_o this_o house_n and_o will_v dwell_v there_o as_o solomon_n expound_v it_o 12_o 13_o ver_fw-la then_o speak_v solomon_n the_o lord_n say_v he_o will_v dwell_v in_o the_o thick_a darkness_n i_o have_v sure_o build_v thou_o a_o house_n to_o dwell_v in_o a_o settle_a place_n for_o thou_o to_o abide_v in_o for_o ever_o for_o this_o reason_n it_o be_v call_v the_o house_n of_o god_n his_o habitation_n his_o dwelling-place_n his_o gate_n his_o court_n and_o which_o be_v the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o all_o this_o his_o presence_n let_v we_o come_v before_o his_o presence_n with_o thansgiving_n 95_o psal._n 2._o that_o be_v to_o his_o house_n and_o temple_n where_o god_n be_v present_a which_o be_v therefore_o call_v appear_v before_o the_o lord_n as_o all_o the_o tribe_n of_o israel_n be_v command_v to_o do_v three_o time_n every_o year_n at_o the_o three_o solemn_a festival_n and_o this_o appear_v before_o the_o lord_n be_v their_o come_n up_o to_o jerusalem_n to_o worship_n at_o the_o temple_n this_o i_o hope_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o both_o before_o and_o under_o the_o law_n god_n who_o be_v essential_o present_a in_o all_o place_n be_v yet_o so_o peculiar_o present_a in_o some_o place_n as_o he_o be_v not_o in_o other_o 2._o but_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n this_o we_o must_v inquire_v what_o this_o special_a and_o peculiar_a presence_n of_o god_n be_v for_o this_o seem_v a_o great_a difficulty_n to_o some_o man_n that_o god_n who_o be_v present_a every_o where_o shall_v not_o be_v equal_o present_a in_o all_o place_n but_o the_o account_n of_o this_o i_o think_v be_v plain_a and_o short_a that_o though_o god_n be_v present_a every_o where_o he_o be_v not_o equal_o present_a in_o all_o place_n to_o all_o purpose_n which_o be_v the_o only_a possible_a distinction_n
one_o place_n neither_o to_o the_o temple_n of_o jerusalem_n nor_o samaria_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v free_a all_o the_o world_n over_o to_o erect_v house_n of_o prayer_n and_o worship_n where_o god_n will_v be_v as_o present_v with_o they_o as_o in_o the_o temple_n of_o jerusalem_n for_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o end_n now_o put_v to_o that_o typical_a state_n and_o typical_a worship_n which_o be_v confine_v to_o the_o temple_n and_o the_o true_a worshipper_n shall_v worship_v the_o father_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n and_o this_o spiritual_a worship_n be_v confine_v to_o no_o one_o place_n but_o will_v find_v god_n present_v all_o the_o world_n over_o which_o be_v so_o far_o from_o abrogate_a all_o peculiar_a place_n of_o worship_n such_o as_o the_o temple_n at_o jerusalem_n and_o samaria_n be_v that_o it_o make_v every_o church_n whatever_o part_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v in_o in_o a_o true_a sense_n the_o house_n of_o god_n than_o ever_o the_o temple_n at_o jerusalem_n be_v and_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n more_o of_o great_a consequence_n which_o we_o learn_v from_o this_o that_o we_o now_o want_v no_o new_a appearance_n of_o god_n to_o consecrate_v a_o place_n for_o his_o worship_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o patriarch_n nor_o any_o new_a command_n to_o appoint_v we_o where_o to_o build_v a_o house_n for_o god_n as_o it_o be_v under_o the_o law_n our_o saviour_n have_v consecrate_v every_o part_n of_o the_o world_n where_o christian_n live_v to_o be_v such_o holy_a ground_n as_o be_v fit_a to_o receive_v a_o temple_n and_o house_n of_o god_n and_o his_o promise_n to_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o assembly_n of_o christian_n give_v we_o as_o great_a a_o assurance_n of_o a_o divine_a presence_n in_o such_o place_n as_o if_o like_o the_o tabernacle_n and_o temple_n we_o see_v they_o again_o fill_v with_o a_o cloud_n and_o a_o visible_a glory_n have_v thus_o show_v you_o that_o god_n who_o fill_v all_o place_n be_v yet_o peculiar_o present_a in_o some_o place_n and_o what_o this_o peculiar_a presence_n be_v that_o god_n be_v present_a as_o the_o object_n of_o our_o worship_n to_o hear_v our_o prayer_n and_o to_o receive_v our_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n our_o alm_n and_o oblation_n let_v we_o now_o consider_v the_o exhortation_n of_o my_o text_n which_o be_v the_o natural_a improvement_n of_o this_o o_o worship_v the_o lord_n in_o the_o beauty_n of_o holiness_n one_a and_o here_o first_o i_o observe_v that_o the_o very_a external_n beauty_n and_o ornament_n of_o god_n house_n be_v one_o part_n of_o homage_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o he_o the_o riches_n and_o visible_a glory_n of_o solomon_n temple_n be_v one_o of_o the_o wonder_n of_o the_o world_n a_o divine_a art_n and_o nature_n conspire_v to_o build_v a_o house_n as_o fit_a as_o art_n and_o nature_n can_v make_v it_o to_o signify_v the_o incommunicable_a majesty_n and_o glory_n of_o that_o god_n who_o dwell_v there_o and_o this_o nature_n teach_v all_o mankind_n the_o magnificence_n of_o their_o temple_n do_v not_o only_o show_v their_o devotion_n but_o what_o their_o art_n and_o what_o their_o riches_n be_v and_o the_o primitive_a christian_n when_o they_o enjoy_v peace_n and_o plenty_n under_o christian_a emperor_n be_v so_o far_o from_o think_v this_o a_o piece_n of_o pagan_a or_o jewish_a superstition_n that_o their_o first_o care_n be_v to_o erect_v beautiful_a and_o stately_a church_n to_o rival_n and_o outdo_v all_o the_o external_n glory_n of_o pagan_a temple_n and_o it_o be_v always_o account_v a_o great_a instance_n of_o the_o piety_n of_o prince_n to_o encourage_v and_o promote_v such_o work_n but_o you_o will_v say_v what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o god_n can_v we_o think_v that_o he_o who_o have_v make_v the_o world_n with_o such_o unimitable_a art_n and_o beauty_n can_v be_v please_v with_o any_o house_n we_o can_v build_v for_o he_o whatever_o art_n or_o riches_n we_o bestow_v on_o it_o but_o this_o very_a objection_n answer_v itself_o for_o god_n have_v make_v this_o beautiful_a world_n for_o his_o temple_n and_o have_v choose_v the_o most_o glorious_a part_n of_o it_o for_o his_o throne_n which_o show_v that_o though_o he_o be_v a_o infinite_a pure_a spirit_n he_o do_v not_o despise_v a_o external_n glory_n for_o thus_o he_o must_v represent_v his_o invisible_a greatness_n and_o majesty_n to_o his_o creature_n and_o therefore_o when_o he_o think_v fit_a to_o vouchsafe_v his_o presence_n with_o we_o on_o earth_n we_o must_v provide_v the_o most_o honourable_a reception_n for_o he_o that_o we_o can_v and_o when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o that_o art_n and_o nature_n can_v do_v we_o have_v so_o far_o express_v our_o devotion_n and_o reverence_n for_o the_o divine_a presence_n this_o objection_n lie_v against_o the_o temple_n at_o jerusalem_n as_o well_o as_o against_o christian_a church_n and_o yet_o david_n think_v it_o very_o undecent_a and_o a_o want_n of_o a_o just_a reverence_n for_o god_n that_o he_o himself_o shall_v dwell_v in_o a_o house_n of_o cedar_n and_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n dwell_v within_o curtain_n 2_o sam._n 7._o 2._o which_o shall_v be_v

hear_v our_o prayer_n and_o indeed_o when_o christ_n express_v so_o much_o zeal_n for_o the_o house_n of_o god_n when_o the_o typical_a glory_n of_o the_o jewish_a temple_n be_v at_o a_o end_n have_v

devotion_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v god_n will_v own_v those_o for_o his_o worshipper_n who_o deny_v he_o this_o public_a homage_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o god_n know_v our_o
