Point I have done with the Act and the Object Worship the Lord onely remember I beseech you How vve must worship and how the Lord it followes Where the Lord vvill be vvorshipped O worship the Lord in the beautie of holinesse In his holy Courts in his holy Sanctuarie in his glorious magnificent Sanctuarie Thus Interpreters varie But Vatablus joynes with the Chaldee and our Translation followes both In decore sanctitatis in the beautie of holinesse And the Scripture calls the Sanctuarie it selfe the beautie of holinesse because it was full of beautie and holinesse So if yee marke it the Points are three The Lord will be worshipped in a certaine place proper for his worship And the most proper place is a sacred place or a place of Holinesse And a place of Beautie as well as Holinesse O worship the Lord in the beautie of holinesse And it is well we are directed to a certaine Place for should the Place be uncertaine our Service would be as uncertain as the Place Time and Place have beene ever of singular moment in Gods Service Were no Time prescribed It were much to be doubted When and were no Place appointed it were hard to say where we would worship Wee may justly feare it were no place assigned adorate Dominum would bee soone out of Date For who would thinke to worship when hee saw not where We may note it successively in all ages never any tooke upon them to worship the Lord but the place was resolved on Can we imagine but Cain and Abel had where to bring their sacrifices And they that called on the name of the Lord Gen. 4. had a place for their meetings a meete place After the flood Noah had his Altar where to adore Gen. 8. And so had Abraham his even where the Lord appeared unto him Gen. 12. expresly called the place of the Altar Gen. 13. Isaac also erected an Altar and there he called on the name of the Lord Gen. 26. And when we reade that Rebeckah went to enquire of the Lord quò perrexit whither went shee may wee thinke even to the place of his holy worship where the Lord would answer her Gen. 25. And had not father Iacob his Bethel named by himselfe the house of God and the gate of heaven Gen. 28. When afterward the Children of Israel were upon often remooves in the wildernesse the Lord ordained them a mooveable Tabernacle to which every one resorted that sought the Lord Exod. 33.7 and it was therefore called The Tabernacle of the Congregation But when the Church began to be happy in a setled state in the dayes of King David his religious heart could no longer endure the Arke should abide within Curtaines when he dwelt himselfe in a house of Cedar 2 Sam. 7 And thereupon he vowed a vowe unto the mightie God of Iacob Psal 132. But Salomon built him an house Act. 7.47 And now the Lords people come hither all whether to receive instruction or expresse devotion Here they addresse their vowes commence their prayers present their oblations before the Lord And this was the manner till Christ came in the flesh And what when our Lord was incarnate did he ever disallow of this locall Adoration no but in his infancie it pleased him to bee presented in the Temple And at twelve yeeres old to dispute in the Temple Luk. 2. And after his baptisme he daily taught in the Temple and preached in the Synagogues After his ascention where were his Apostles but continually in the Temple Luk. 24. Or where were the faithfull but daily with one accord in the Temple Act. 2.46 Now when the Temple was demolished by Titus Vespatian not a stone left upon a stone as our Saviour had foretold Then Christian Churches began to be frequent which yet were extant afore in Saint Pauls time for see I pray you what disparitie hee puts betwixt ordinary houses and the house of God What have yee not houses to eate and to drinke in or despise yee the Church of God 1. Cor. 11. Againe Let your women keepe silence in the Churches and let them aske their husbands at home 1. Cor. 14. Now let Saint Ignatius speak for the next Generation 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 All to one place all to the Temple of God in his undoubted Epistle to the Magnesians As for succeding Ages all testimonies are superfluous the furious edicts of persecuting Tyrants for rasing and ruinating Churches abundantly shew how Churches did abound And is not this enough to put to silence those unreasonable men with their sectaries that survive who in the height of malice and sacriledge endeavoured presumptuously this last age to lay desolate and wast all the Synagogues of God in the land What should the Prophet have said to such a generation O worship the Lord Where no matter where in a Barne or a Shop or a Wood no but the Prophet hath told us where and the practise of the Saints make it manifest that before the Law under the Law and under the Gospell there have beene ever due to the celebration of Gods worship sequestred places either Altars or Tabernacles or Temples or Churches or Chappels or the like that wee are justly directed by the Prophet here to a proper place Let us now descend to the properties of the place And an holy place it is a place of Holinesse and a beautifull place the very beautie of Holinesse O worship c. In atrio Sancto or in Sanctuario In his holy Courts or in his holy Sanctuary for who can doubt but the beautie of Holinesse must needs bee holy And that apparantly in a double regard First because the place of Gods worship was hallowed ever and set apart to holy uses for so were Altars afore the Law and after them the Tabernacle and after that the Temple And by the same right Churches and Chappels at this Day The dedication of the Tabernacle we have at large let down Numb 7.

And it stands with all good reason and religion that houses of God be sequestred now by solemne consecration as well as heretofore For wherefore I pray you did Salomon dedicate the Temple and after him Ezra the Priest upon the restauration And the Priests againe under Iudas Maccabeus when it had beene polluted Or wherefore did Iacob consecrate a pillar of stone by powring oyle upon it Gen. 28. Did the Lord command him or Salomon or any of them all where it will no where be found It was rectified reason and godly wisedome which directed them by a publique dedication as it were by a publique declaration to manifest to the world the religious conveiance of Sacred places to Sacred uses And then it followes that as Bethel of old and the Sanctuary so likewise our Bethels are holy being solemnly hallowed and devoted in the name of God and to the glory of God as they were Holy againe because our
