I. Of the word Temple and why not us'd by the Primitive Christians TEmpla dicta quasi tecta ampla so Isidor Great and ample buildings are called Temples according with that of Arnobius Templum est nescio quid immane atque amplum For in old times onely those buildings which were of great and magnificent structure were called Temples So the Capitol at Rome the Temple of Diana at Ephesus of Serapis at Alexandria of Minerva at Athens were called Temples being all huge and stately buildings Rodulphus Agricola derives In 2. declam Seneca the word à templando because the ancient heathens before they began to build templabantur id est did curiously view and observe the auguries of the South-sayers that they might more prosperously succeed in the erection Cornelius à Lapide derives In 2. Cor. cap. 6. v. 16. it à tuendo and amplifies his derivation from the double signification of tueri to see and defend Deus enim saies hee tuetur intuetur God hath alway an Eye upon his Church and will surely defend it from all its enemies The Primitive Christians are said not to call their Churches Temples and Cardinall Lib. 3. de cultu Sanctor Bellarmine gives this reason for it because the Jewish sacrifices offer'd in their Temple were as yet fresh in memorie and might with the name seeme still to remaine as also because the Gentiles call'd the places where they worshipt their Idols by the same names So that you shall not often find if I mistake not in ancient Christian writers the word Temple unlesse signifying the Temples of the heathen untill the time of Constantine the Great by whose munificent pietie stately and beanteous Temples were every where erected the Temples of Idols destroyed and the Christians enjoyed publique libertie throughout the whole world then also was the name Priest more frequently applyed to the Christians as appeares in the writings of S. Hilarie S. Ambrose S. Augustin and others Laelius Bisciola is of opinion Lib. 17. cap 19. that the Primitive Christians had no Temples their poverty was not able to erect so stately and glorious buildings as were called Temples Nor if they had beene able would the Gentiles have suffered them for we read in Ecclesiasticque stories that they pull'd downe their humble and low Oratories Besides it was not lawfull for any to build a Temple unlesse the ground were first hallowed by the Idolatrous and superstitious ceremonies of the Augurs which the Christians could by no meanes endure CHAP. II. Divers names of the Temples of the Gentiles DElubra were sacred structures of the Gentiles so called as Isidor saith à diluendo for they had fountaines belonging to them in the which they were wont to wash before they entered into them for which reason saith hee well might our Temples be cald Delubra at whose entrance stands the sacred Font by whose water we are cleans'd in Baptisme from our sins But those Temples have beene so polluted by the sacrilegious Idolatrie of the heathens that all Christian writers unlesse the Poets for verse sake abhor the very word Fana were a kind of Temples so called à fando saies Festus from certaine words uttered by the Priests when the bounds of the ground wheron they stood were first limited Others think they were so called à Faunis from their Gods Fauni to whom they were dedicated Saint Paul speaking of 1 Cor. 8. 10 the Temples of Idols cals them Idolia receptacles of vaine Idols and feigned deities in which they were kept and worshipped and in which they kept feasts with the meat which was offered in sacrifice to the Idols of which kind of feastings Herodotus speaks and also Virgil. Lib 8. Aeneid The Turks have their Fana some greater than others all which in their language are called Moschits or Mosquitas the greatest of all is that of Sancta Sophia at Constantinople of which more hereafter In Japan the cheifest Temple they say of 13000. is called Denix from the name of their Idoll Denichi which they worship under the forme of the Sun the Moone
