God never left his Church destitute of a certain sacred place, wherein he would be worshipped. Adam had a place, wherein he should present himself to God, and God did present himself to him; Paradise. God appeared to Abraham in a place, and sanctified it: and there sAbraham built an Altar; for it was holy. When he commanded him to sacrifice his Son Isaac, he appointed him a place; on ta mountain. And on this very mountain was afterwards Solomons Temple built. 2. Chron. 3. Jacob according to the several places he dwelt in, built several Altars to serve God on. The Israelites were translated out of Egypt for this very cause, that they might have a place to sacrifice to the Lord. When they were come into Canaan, God commanded and directed Moses, to make a Tabernacle: which was but mobile Tabernaculum, to be dissolved when Solomons glorious Temple was finished.
