Good order; viz: the good government and disposition of the Church, as is the disposition of an army: So that in that they had a good order in the Church, it did his heart good: And then, in that it is said to be set and disposed as an Army, therein also is further matter of rejoicing. So that here we see in a Church is matter of joy, when the government of the Son of God is there, and also when it is practised: So that where the order of our Saviour CHRIST is not, there can be nothing but confusion, and disorder. Moses, though a man instructed in the will¹ of God would not himself give answer concerning the peoples coming to sacrifice, yet would not himself give order unto them.
