When Solomon also was to build this Temple for the Worship of God, though he was wiser than all men, yet God neither trusted to his Wisdom nor Memory, nor to any immediate Dictates from Heaven to him, as to how he would have him build it. No, he was to receive the whole Platform thereof, in writing, by the Inspiration of God. Nor would God give this Platform of the Temple, and of its Utensils, immediately to this Wise Man, lest perhaps by others, his Wisdom should be idolized, or that some should object, that the whole Fashion thereof proceeded of his Fancy, only he made pretensions of Divine Revelation, as a cover for his doings.

Therefore, I say, not to him, but to his Father David, was the whole Pattern of it given from Heaven, and so, by David, to Solomon his Son, in writing, Then David, says ⟨image 6⟩the Text, gave to Solomon, his Son, the Pattern of the Porch, and of the Houses thereof, and of the Treasuries thereof, and of the Upper Chambers thereof, and of the Inner Parlours thereof, and of the place of the Mercy-Seat, (1 Chron. 28.11.) And the Pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, of the Courts of the House of the Lord, and of all the Chambers round about, and of the Treasuries of the House of God, and of the Treasures of the Dedicated Things, (ver. 12.) Also for the Courses of the Priests and Levites, and for all the work of the service of the House of the Lord, and for all the Vessels of service in the House of the Lord. (ver. 13.)
