The Heavens and the Earth are the work of my hands, Gen. 1. 1. Ioh. 1. 3. (some expound it of the Temple, and the Sacrifices.)

These things were not therefore valued by him, nor could he have any need of, or respect to an house which is but a very little part of the Earth; he having made the Heavens and the Earth, had all them at his command, and how could he need a Temple? or, wherein could he be advantaged from it?
