Ezekiel44:8

8 And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for your selves.

You have not observed the Lawes I gave you for the careful, and exact keeping of my Holy things; House, Sacrifices, and Worship.

You have substituted others in your rooms, made Officials, and Surrogates, and Curats to look to the Gates, and these have let in the profane and unclean, your pride, or covetousness, or laziness, hath taken you off from your duty, and your charge, or you have, as you saw good, consecrated persons, whether fit or unfit, whether approved or not approved by me, so you have profaned my Name, and violated my Law, Numb. 18.4.

Marginal references: Or, ward, or, ordinance. So ver. 14. and 16.
