to_o hear_v our_o prayer_n we_o must_v own_v that_o every_o christian_a church_n be_v as_o much_o the_o house_n of_o god_n as_o the_o temple_n at_o jerusalem_n be_v unless_o we_o will_v deny_v that_o

a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o jewish_a temple_n and_o christian_a church_n but_o as_o to_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n which_o only_o make_v a_o temple_n the_o advantage_n be_v great_o on_o the_o christian_a side_n the_o ark_n of_o the_o covenant_n the_o tabernacle_n and_o temple_n contain_v many_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o christ_n but_o these_o type_n be_v not_o the_o presence_n of_o

for_o which_o reason_n god_n tell_v they_o that_o the_o second_o temple_n though_o it_o fall_v vast_o short_a of_o the_o external_n beauty_n and_o magnificence_n of_o the_o first_o yet_o shall_v

as_o for_o instance_n to_o impose_v upon_o ourselves_o constant_a task_n of_o religion_n that_o we_o will_v read_v and_o pray_v so_o much_o and_o so_o often_o every_o day_n and_o observe_v voluntary_a
