Churches, ye say, not without profane malice, ye call Temples. Malice come unto him, M. Harding, that Malice meaneth. The Prophet David saith, The Lord in his Holy Temple: 1S. Paul saith, Your Bodies be the Temples of the Holy Ghost: Know ye not, that ye be the Temple of God: If any man defile the Temple of God, 2the Lord will destroy him: Ye are the Temple of the Living God: What agreement is there between the Temple of God, and an Idol? So many times S. Paul nameth Temples together in one place: and yet, I think, without any great profane Malice. But it shall be lawful for you, M.

Chrysostome saithe, Sicut de Templo omne bonum egreditur, ita etiam de Templo omne Malum procedit: As every good thing proceedeth from the Temple, so every il thing proceedeth likewise from the Temple.
