Let us search our hearts & ransack them narrowly: if we do not cast out these Idols, God ⟨p. 63⟩will not own us for his Temples.1 My House shall be called the house of prayer: this was Gods Appropriation: But you have made it a den of thieves: this is mans Impropriation. Let us take heed of impropriating Gods house; remembering how he hath revenged such a profanation with scourges. We are bought with a price, 2therefore let us glorify God both in body & spirit, for they are his: His purchase, his Temple, his inheritance, his habitation: do not lose so gracious an owner, by the most ungracious sacrilege. You see many ruined houses, which have bin once kings palaces: learn by those dead spectacles to keep your selves from the like fortunes: left God say of you, Hoc Templum meum fuit, this was my house; but now because it took in Idols, I have forsaken it.
