Chapter 61: LXI. Of the Ark of the Covenant, which was placed in the inner 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.
1. This Ark was called the Ark of the Covenant, as the first that you read of was called Noah's, because, as he in THAT was kept from being drowned: So the Tables of the Covenant was kept in this, from breaking.
2. This Ark, in this, was a type of Christ. For that in him only, and not in the hand of Moses, these Tables were kept whole. Moses brake them, the Ark keeps them.
3. Not only that wrote on two Tables of Stone, but that also called the Ceremonial, was put into the Ark to be kept. The two Tables were put into the midst of the Ark, to answer to this, Thy Law is within my heart to do it. But the Ceremonial was put into the SIDE of the Ark, to show, that out of the side of Christ must come that which must answer that. For out thence came blood, and water: Blood to answer the blood of the Ceremonies, and water to answer the Purifyings and Rinsings of that Law.
