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

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

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
