Chapter 42: XLII. Of the Lamps belonging to the Candlesticks of the Temple.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
3. We read that the Candlestick in Zecharias had seven Lamps belonging to it, and a Bowl of Golden Oil on the top, ⟨p. 110⟩and that by Golden Pipes this Golden Oil emptied it self into the Lamps, and all doubtless, that the Lamps might shine; Zech. 4.
4. Christ therefore who is the High Priest, and to whom it belongs to dress the Lamps, doth dress them accordingly. But now there are Lamp-Carriers of two sorts, such as have only Oil in their Lamps, and such as have Oil in their Lamps and Vessels too, and both these belong to the Church, and in both these Christ will be glorified. And they should have their proper places at last. They that have the Oil of Grace in their hearts, as well as a Profession of Christ in their hands, they shall go in with him to the Wedding; but they who only make a Profession, and have not Oil in their Vessels, vvill surely miscarry at last: Matt. 25.
