IV. Of what the Temple was built.
The Materials with which the Temple was built, was such as were in their own Nature common to that which was left behind. Things that naturally were not fit without art to be laid on so holy a house. And this shows that those of whom Christ Jesus designs to build his Church, are by Nature, no better than others: But as the trees and stones of which the Temple was built, was first hewed and squared before they were fit to be laid in that house; so sinners of which the Church is to be built, must first be fitted, by the Word and Doctrine, and then fitly laid in their place in the Church.

For though, as to Nature, there is no difference betwixt those made use of to build Gods house with, yet by Grace they differ from others; even as those trees and stones that are hewed and squared for building, by Art are made to differ from those which abide in the Wood or Pitt.
