2 Gods greatest care is over these places. He bringeth light into them by his word: he beautifieth them by his ordinances: he continually repaireth them, and keepeth them from ruin by holy discipline. In them are the treasures of his graces. Orders, Offices, All needful provision, The bread of life, The wine of spiritual consolation and other like blessings of an house are there. There God dines and sups with his people. All things fit for an house are there; which, whosoever observeth, cannot but say of such a place, it is the house of God.

3 God is very jealous over such places. He cannot endure to have them defiled, profaned. It was one cause of the 1Jews captivity, that they polluted the house of the Lord.
