Touching the temple of the Lord which was prepared by David, but 1builded and made an end of by Solomon, I need not make many words in the description thereof, because it is in the 3. of Kings, and 2. of the Chronicles very busily set down, & painted out at the full. The place where the temple was afterward builded, is 2reported to have been showed to David by the Angle of the Lord, and that David did first of all make sacrifice there unto the Lord, and addeth these words: This is the house of the Lord God, and this altar is for the sacrifice of Israel. As if he should have said, This plot of ground is appointed for t•e temple, in this piece shall be built the house of the Lord, yea, here shall be offered that only and effectual sacrifice for all men, the very son of God Christ Jesus incarnate. For all the interpreters of the holy scriptures agree, that the place was at Jerusalem upon the mountain Moria, where Abraham once would have offered his son Isaac: & that in that appointed or fatal pl•ce the temple •as erected: and that the hill Golgotha or Calvary was not far of, but in the very top of the mountain Moria, which was the place and holy hill, wherein the holy Gospel doth testify that Christ was offered for the sins of all the world, which was prefigured in a type of the ancient sacrifices, & other Ceremonies belonging to the temple. The use and end of the temple was none other, than the use and end of the tabernacle was before.
Touching the temple of the Lord which was prepared by Dauid, but 1builded and made an end of by Solomon, I néed not make many woords in the description thereof, because it is in the 3. of Kings, and 2. of the Chronicles very busilie set downe, & painted out at the full. The place where the temple was afterward builded, is 2reported to haue béen shewed to Dauid by the Angle of the Lord, and that Dauid did first of all make sacrifice there vnto the Lord, and addeth these words: This is the house of the Lord God, and this altar is for the sacrifice of Israel. As if hée should haue said, This plat of ground is appointed for te temple, in this péece shalbe builte the house of the Lord, yea, here shall be offered that onely and effectual sacrifice for all men, the very sonne of God Christ Iesus incarnate. For all the interpreters of the holy scriptures agrée, that the place was at Ierusalem vppon the mountaine Moria, where Abraham once would haue offered his sonne Isaac: & that in that appointed or fatall plce the temple as erected: and tht the hill Golgotha or Caluarie was not farre of, but in the very topp of ye mountaine Moria, which was the place and holy hill, wherein the holy Gospell doth testifie that Christ was offered for the sinns of al ye world, which was prefigured in a type of the auncient sacrifices, & other Ceremonies belonging to the temple. The vse and end of the temple was none other, than the vse and end of the tabernacle was before.
