Since then the Temple was widest upward, let us imitate it, and have our conversation in Heaven. Let our eyes, our ears, our hands, and hearts, our prayers, and groans be most for things above.

Observe again, that the lowest parts of the Temple were the narrowest parts of the Temple: So those in the Church who are nearest, or most concerned with earth, are the most narrow spirited, as to the things of God. But now let even such an one be taken up higher, to above, to ⟨p. 43⟩the uppermost parts of the Temple, and and there he will be enlarged, and have his heart stretched out. For the Temple you see was widest upwards, the higher, the more it is enlarged. Paul being once caught up into Paradise, could not but be there enlarged, 2 Cor. 12.
