Matthew23:21

Verse 21. And by [illegible: 1 word] that dwelleth therein] By his grace in his ordinances, yea [illegible: 1 word] his glory, which sometimes filled the temple. This temple at Jerusalem, together with that of Diana at Ephesus (which was also built of Cedar in an apish imitation of Gods temple, as Vitruvius [illegible: 1 word] others witnesse) were destroy'd much about one and the same time; Believe me, saith Christ, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, not yet at Jerusalem worship the father. Demosthenes saith, ThatIoh. 4. 21. mans heart is Gods best temple, where he dwels with delight,Contra Arist, [illegible: 1 word]. so it be beautified with modesty, piety, justice, &c. And this is the end of our creation, saith another, that man should be the Temple of God, and God the Altar of man.
