1. Windows, as they are to an house, an ornament, so also to it they are a benefit. Truly the light is good, and a pleasant thing it is for the eye to behold the Sun; Eccles. 11.7. The Window is that which Christ looks forth at, the Window is that which the Sun looks in at; Song 2.9.
2. By the light which shines in at the Window, we also see to make, and keep the House clean, and also to do what business is necessary there to be done. In thy ⟨p. 82⟩light we see light; light to do our duty, and that both to God and Man.
3. These Windows therefore were figures of the written Word, by and thorough which Christ shows himself to his, and by which we also apprehend him. And hence the Word of God is compared to a Glass, thorough which the light doth come, and by which we see not only the beams of the Sun, but our own Smutches also, 2 Chron. 3.18. Jam. 1.23, 24, 25.
