1. When therefore he saith before the Oracle, he means, These Chains were put in the most Holy place, before the Ark and Mercy-seat, to give to Aaron and his Sons to understand, that an Additional Glory was there: For the Ark and Mercy-seat were preferred before that holy House it self, even as Christ and the Grace of God is preferred before the highest Heavens. The Lord is high above all Nations, and his Glory is above the Heavens, Psal. 113.4.
So then, the Partition that was made in this House by these Chains, these Golden-Chains, was not so much to divide the holy from the place most holy, as to show that there is in the Holiest House, that, which is yet more worthy then it.

The Holiest, was a type of Heaven, but the Ark and Mercy-seat were a type of Christ, and of the mercy of God to us by him; and I trow, any man will conclude, if he knows what he says, that the God and Christ of Heaven are more excellent, then the House they dwell in. Hence David said again, Whom have I in Heaven but thee? For thou art more Excellent then they, Psal. 73.25.
