remember_v the_o star_n be_v in_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n and_o he_o appoint_v they_o where_o they_o shall_v shine_v and_o one_o of_o the_o sad_a judgement_n that_o can_v befall_v a_o people_n

why_o a_o golden_a candlestick_n and_o what_o be_v it_o for_o christ_n to_o walk_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o it_o first_o why_o be_v the_o church_n call_v a_o candlestick_n in_o revel_v 1._o ult_n the_o seven_o candlestick_n be_v the_o seven_o church_n there_o be_v four_o notion_n in_o it_o and_o you_o must_v take_v in_o all_o or_o you_o will_v not_o understand_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n first_o a_o candlestick_n have_v no_o light_n in_o it_o of_o itself_o but_o light_n must_v be_v put_v into_o it_o and_o therefore_o the_o candlestick_n under_o the_o law_n to_o which_o this_o here_o be_v a_o allusion_n the_o priest_n be_v to_o light_v the_o candle_n a_o candlestick_n have_v no_o more_o light_n than_o be_v put_v into_o it_o and_o it_o must_v be_v continual_o maintain_v by_o a_o new_a supply_n of_o oil_n as_o you_o see_v it_o describe_v in_o zach._n 4.11_o there_o be_v olive-tree_n that_o grow_v on_o each_o side_n the_o candlestick_n and_o they_o drop_v the_o oil_n &c_n &c_n here_o be_v no_o oil_n prepare_v by_o the_o art_n and_o industry_n of_o man_n but_o it_o be_v natural_a olive-oyl_n that_o do_v of_o itself_o drop_v and_o therefore_o the_o support_n and_o supply_n of_o the_o church_n be_v compare_v unto_o the_o rain_n and_o unto_o the_o dew_n that_o wait_v not_o for_o man_n and_o tarry_v not_o for_o the_o son_n of_o man_n second_o the_o use_n of_o a_o candlestick_n be_v for_o no_o other_o end_n then_o to_o hold_v up_o and_o hold_v out_o the_o light_n and_o to_o this_o very_o end_v the_o lord_n have_v institute_v church_n the_o great_a ordinance_n under_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o church_n though_o alas_o we_o little_o consider_v it_o now_o pray_v observe_v the_o great_a end_n why_o god_n institute_v church_n be_v this_o that_o he_o may_v have_v a_o company_n of_o saint_n that_o may_v hold_v forth_o his_o word_n and_o hold_v up_o his_o worship_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o church_n be_v call_v the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n 1_o tim._n 3.16_o the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n why_o so_o as_o one_o well_o observe_v as_o a_o pillar_n hold_v forth_o a_o proclamation_n truth_n that_o uphold_v the_o church_n but_o the_o church_n hold_v out_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n three_o a_o candlestick_n be_v a_o thing_n movable_a and_o with_o the_o remove_n of_o the_o candlestick_n you_o carry_v away_o the_o light_n also_o and_o therefore_o the_o thing_n that_o the_o lord_n threaten_v be_v that_o he_o will_v remove_v the_o candlestick_n out_o of_o its_o place_n the_o lord_n remove_v the_o candlestick_n from_o place_n to_o place_n though_o the_o land_n remain_v the_o church_n be_v go_v that_o be_v a_o dangerous_a judgement_n not_o only_o a_o immediate_a remove_n of_o the_o ordinance_n but_o of_o the_o church_n for_o which_o all_o ordinance_n be_v appoint_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v take_v from_o they_o he_o will_v call_v they_o loammi_n they_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o a_o people_n to_o he_o the_o lord_n will_v remove_v the_o candlestick_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v depart_v lasty_a it_o be_v a_o allusion_n unto_o the_o candlestick_n under_o

the_o tabernacle_n of_o shilo_n

the_o law_n in_o the_o tabernacle_n in_o exod._n 25.31_o which_o be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o all_o thing_n be_v do_v unto_o they_o in_o type_n and_o yet_o with_o this_o difference_n under_o the_o law_n there_o be_v but_o one_o candlestick_n in_o the_o tabernacle_n but_o here_o be_v seven_o candlestick_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n there_o be_v a_o double_a ground_n and_o both_o of_o they_o considerable_a first_o because_o the_o church_n of_o god_n under_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v of_o a_o large_a extent_n then_o under_o the_o law_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n happy_o it_o be_v that_o the_o dimension_n of_o john_n city_n go_v so_o far_o beyond_o that_o of_o ezekiel_n though_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o of_o the_o same_o time_n yet_o ezekiel_n city_n that_o be_v but_o 4500._o cubit_n and_o saint_n john_n be_v twelve_o thousand_o furlong_n a_o great_a difference_n but_o ezekiel_n see_v it_o with_o legal_a apprehension_n he_o have_v a_o sight_n of_o gospel-ordinance_n by_o a_o dark_a light_n only_o but_o john_n see_v it_o with_o a_o gospel_n light_n and_o he_o describe_v the_o latitude_n and_o the_o dimension_n thereof_o according_a thereunto_o second_o and_o that_o be_v the_o main_a reason_n there_o be_v but_o one_o candlestick_n in_o the_o tabernacle_n because_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v but_o one_o and_o though_o they_o have_v many_o synagogue_n yet_o they_o meet_v all_o in_o one_o stem_n they_o be_v unite_v all_o in_o one_o shaft_n but_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n be_v many_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n though_o there_o be_v but_o one_o candlestick_n under_o the_o law_n yet_o there_o be_v seven_o under_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o be_v the_o meaning_n why_o a_o candlestick_n second_o why_o be_v the_o church_n be_v call_v a_o golden_a candlestick_n upon_o a_o double_a ground_n first_o because_o gold_n be_v the_o pure_a metal_n and_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v his_o church_n such_o they_o shall_v differ_v as_o much_o from_o other_o man_n as_o gold_n do_v from_o the_o common_a clay_n in_o the_o street_n the_o lord_n be_v very_o exact_a in_o every_o thing_n in_o the_o church_n he_o be_v very_o curious_a of_o what_o mettle_n such_o candlestick_n be_v make_v of_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o every_o society_n or_o constitution_n of_o man_n that_o will_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o church_n to_o christ_n but_o when_o the_o lord_n lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o a_o church_n he_o do_v it_o with_o saphire_n isa_n 54._o non_fw-fr est_fw-fr de_fw-fr doctrina_fw-la
