When the Ark (which represented God's majesty) was come into the army of the Israelites, the Philistines said that God was come into the army. And God him self said by his prophet Nathan,1 that from the time that he had brought the Children of Israel out of Egypt, he dwelled not in houses, but that he was carried about in tents and tabernacles. And yet was not God him self so carried about, or went in tents, or tabernacles: but because the ⟨p. 136⟩ark (which was a figure of God) was so removed from place to place, he spake of him self that thing, which was to be understand of the ark.
