Let us come to the temple / which as it was more near the time of Christ / so it doth more lively express the church of God / which now is. Solomon the wisest man that ever was or shall be / doth nothing in it / neither for the temple ¹nor for the vessels of the temple / nor for the beauty of it / but according to the form that was enjoined him / as appeareth in the Kings / and Chronicles. And in the restoring of that temple / Ezekiel is witness / how the Angel by the commandment of God doth part by part / appoint all to be done both in the temple and in the furniture thereof.

And then tell me what are those times / of which it was said / the Messiah when he cometh / will tell us all? Is it a like thing
