First, It was over-laid with Gold. Gold ⟨p. 50⟩oft-times was a type of grace, and particularly of the grace of love. That in Solomon's Chariot called Gold, is yet again mentioned by the name, Love: Song 3.9, 10. As it is in the Church, the grace of Love, is as Gold: 'Tis the greatest, the richest of Graces, and that which abides for ever; Hence they that show much love to Saints, are said to be rich; 1 Tim. 6.17, 18, 19. And hence Charity is called a treasure, a treasure in the heavens, Luk. 12.33, 34. Love is a golden Grace, let then the Churches, as the Porch of the Temple was, be in-laid with love, as gold.
