John Trapp on 1 Corinthians 3:16

Verſe 16. Ye are the temple of God] Not Gods building only, as verſ. 9. but his Temple. A mud wall may be made up of any thing, not ſo the wals of a Temple or Pallace: that muſt have other materials.

And that the Spirit of God, &c.] Next to the love of Chriſt in dwelling in our nature,D. Sibbs [illegible: 1 letter] Eph. 9.30. we may wonder at the love of the holy Ghoſt, that will dwell in our defiled ſouls. Let our care be to waſh the pavement of this temple with our tears, to ſweep it by repentance, to beautifie it with holines, to perfume it with prayers, to deck it with humility, to hang it with ſincerity. Delicata res eſt spiritus Dei. The holy Ghoſt will dwell in a poor, ſo it be a pure houſe. Religion loves to lie clean, as was a grave ſpeech of an ancient Saint.
