1. The Candlesticks were here in number ten, to show that Christ under the New Testament would have a many Gospel Churches.

2. In that the Candlesticks were set by the Lavers and stony Tables, it might be to show us, that Christ's Churches should be much in considering, that Christ, tho' he was righteous, yet died for our sins: Though his Life was according to the holy Law, yet our stony hearts caused him to die. Yea, and that the Candlesticks are placed there, it is to show us also that we should be much in looking on the sins by which we caused him to die, for the Candlesticks were set by those Tables, whereon they laid the Instruments, with which they slew the Sacrifice.
