It appeareth in the holy scripture, how Gods house, which was called his holy temple, and was the mother Church of all Jewry, fell sometimes into decay, and was oftentimes profaned and defiled, through the negligence and ungodliness of such as had charge thereof. But when godly Kings and governors were in place, then commandment was given forthwith, that the Church and temple of god should ⟨p. 163⟩be repaired, and the devotion of the people to be gathered, for the reparation of the same. We read in the fourth book of the kings, how that king 1Joas, being a godly prince, gave commandment to the priests, to convert certain offerings of the people, towards the reparation and amendment of Gods temple.
