2. In that it was placed above, it doth show also that Christ was of Mercies ordaining, a fruit of Mercy. Mercy is above, is the Ordainer; God is love, and sent of love his Son to be the Saviour, and propitiation for our sins; Joh. 3.16. 1 Joh. 4.10.

3. In that the Mercy-Seat, and Ark, was thus joined together, it also shows, that without Christ, Mercy doth not act. Hence, when the Priest came of old to God for Mercy, he did use to come into the holy place with blood; yea, and did use to sprinkle it upon the Mercy-Seat, and before it seven times. Take away the Ark, and the Mercy-Seat will fall, or come greatly down at least: So take away Christ, and the Flood-gate of Mercy is let down, and the currant of Mercy stopped. This is true, for so soon as Christ shall leave off to Mediate, will come the Eternal Judgment.
