1. The first expresseth perlucidam materiem, a bright and clear matter. Which sets a difference betwixt that legal, and this Evangelical Sea. That was ex aere constatum, which is densa et opaca materies: of molten brass, which was a thick, duskish, and shadowy matter; not penetrable to the sight. This is mare uttreum, a Sea of glass; more clear, perspicable, and transparent. That was a Sea of Brass, this of Glass. In which disparity this latter far transcends the former. So that if David said, Psal. 84. How amiable are thy Tabernacles, oh Lord of Hosts! My soul longeth, yea even fainteth for the 1Courts of the Lord: speaking but of that Legal Sanctuary; 2which was adorned with those Levitical Ordinances, and Typical Sacrifices: How much more cause have we to rejoice with Peter & those two brethren, Matthew 17. to see Jesus Christ transfigured in the Gospel: his face shining as the Sun, 3and his raiment white as the light? Being not come to the Mount of terror, full of blackness, and darkness, 4and tempest; whereat even Moses himself did exceedingly fear and quake. But unto Mount Zion, unto the City of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of Angels.
