Chapter 12: XII. Of the Pillars that were before the Porch of the Temple.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
1. These Pillars stood one on the Right-hand, and the other on the Left, at the door of the Porch of the Temple, and they had Names given them (you may be sure) to signify something. The Name of that on the Right-hand was called Jachin; (God shall Establish:) And the Name of that on the Left-hand was Boaz, (in it is strength) 1 King. 7.21. 2 Chron. 3.17.
2. These two Pillars were Types of Christs Apostles, of the Apostles of Circumcision, and of the Uncircumcision. Therefore, the Apostle Paul also calleth them Pillars, Gal. 2. And saith, That that Pillar on the Right-hand was a Type of himself, and his Companions, who were to go to the Uncircumcised and teach the Gentiles the way of Life. When James, Cephas, and John saith, He who seemed to be PILLARS, perceived the Grace that was given unto me, They gave unto me and Barnabas the Right-hand of Fellowship, that we should go unto the Heathen, and they unto the Circumcision. Gal. 2.9.
So then, These two Pillars were Types of these two Orders of the Apostles in this their divers Service for God.
