XXVIII. Of the Leaves of this Gate of the Temple.
THE Leaves of this Gate or Door, as I told you before, were folding, and so, as was hinted, has something of signification in them. For by this means, a Man, especially a young Disciple, may easily be mistaken; thinking that the whole passage, when yet but a part was open, whereas three parts might be yet kept undiscovered to him. For these Doors, ⟨p. 67⟩as I said before, were never yet set wide open, I mean in the antitype; never man yet saw all the riches, and fullness which is in Christ. So that, I say, a new comer, if he judged by present sight, especially if he saw but little, might easily be mistaken, wherefore such for the most part are most horribly afraid, that they shall never get in thereat.
