of_o this_o last_o house_n more_o than_o of_o the_o first_o this_o be_v that_o at_o which_o david_n do_v aim_v this_o be_v the_o butt_n of_o his_o desire_n to_o wit_n god_n his_o honour_n and_o

thou_o shall_v then_o accept_v sacrifice_n of_o justice_n oblation_n and_o holocauste_n then_o shall_v they_o lay_v calf_n upon_o thy_o altar_n for_o although_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o old_a

that_o before_o all_o private_a intereste_n to_o spare_v no_o cost_n nor_o labour_n that_o god_n may_v be_v honour_v and_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o the_o mean_n to_o build_v a_o spiritual_a temple_n to_o his_o honour_n that_o be_v either_o to_o convert_v a_o soul_n or_o thy_o country_n to_o true_a faith_n and_o holy_a life_n by_o teach_v preach_v or_o writing_n of_o book_n then_o to_o set_v other_o on_o that_o can_v to_o encourage_v they_o to_o aid_v and_o assist_v they_o by_o thy_o mean_n as_o david_n encourage_v and_o assist_v solomon_n to_o build_v that_o material_a temple_n for_o so_o though_o thou_o thyself_o do_v not_o build_v this_o temple_n yet_o thou_o shall_v with_o david_n prepare_v the_o materialle_n and_o give_v the_o mean_n as_o he_o do_v to_o solomon_n his_o son_n and_o so_o shall_v be_v partaker_n with_o they_o who_o convert_v soul_n and_o so_o build_v to_o god_n a_o spiritual_a temple_n in_o which_o he_o may_v be_v honour_v with_o the_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n of_o thanksgiving_n prayer_n praise_n of_o his_o name_n &_o the_o like_a england_n be_v english_a mens_fw-la jerusalem_n which_o they_o must_v never_o forget_v in_o their_o prayer_n 136._o

heretofore_o great_a and_o glorious_a now_o little_a and_o obscure_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o change_n of_o state_n and_o former_a persecution_n must_v be_v their_o

respect_n and_o commodity_n 8._o but_o david_n no_o doubt_n in_o a_o allegorical_a sense_n have_v a_o far_a aim_n to_o wit_n at_o the_o church_n and_o temple_n of_o christ_n the_o second_o solomon_n and_o the_o verity_n of_o that_o figurative_a temple_n for_o david_n have_v a_o more_o explicit_a faith_n then_o the_o ordinary_a jew_n have_v believe_v explicitelie_o that_o the_o messiah_n christ_n

out_o of_o this_o zeal_n he_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o build_v the_o wall_n of_o this_o jerusalem_n and_o to_o plant_v this_o temple_n of_o his_o church_n know_v that_o this_o jerusalem_n and_o temple_n
