2. I therefore take those Pinnacles to be types of those lofty, airy Notions, with which some Men delight themselves, while they hover like Birds, above the solid and godly truths of Christ. Satan attempted to entertain Christ Jesus with this type, and antitype, at once, when he set him on one of the Pinnacles of the Temple, and offered to thrust him upon a false confidence in God, by a false and unsound interpretation of a Text, Matt. 4.5, 6. Luke 4 9, 10, 11.

We read, God is IN his Temple, not upon those Pinnacles, Psal. 11.4. Hab: 2.20.
