If in the Old law Priests were chosen (as S. Ambrose writeth) to cover the Ark of the Testament, because it is not lawful for all persons to see the depth of M•steries: If the Sons of Caath by God's appointment did only bear the Ark, and those other Holy things of the Tabernacle on their shoulders, when so ever the children of Israel removed, and marched forward in Wilderness, being Closely folded, and lapped within veils, curtains, and palls, by the Priests: and might not at no time touch, nor see the same upon pain of death, which were but Figures of this: how much more is this high, and worthy Mystery to be honoured with Secretness, Closeness, and Silence?
