10. All these were over-laid with gold, as you may say, and so they were at the Door of the first House. True, but observe, here we have an addition. Here is gold upon gold. Gold laid on them, and then gold spread upon that. He over-laid them with gold, and then spread gold upon them. The Lord gives grace and glory, Psal. 84.11. Gold, and gold. Gold spread upon gold.

For, I doubt not, but that the Angels themselves shall receive Additional Glory for the Service which they have served Christ and his Church on Earth.
