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 shew 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.
For though that which is called Heaven, would serve some; yea, though God himself was out of it, yet none but the God of Heaven will satisfy a truly Gracious Man: 'Tis God that the Soul of this Man thirsteth for: 'Tis God that is his exceeding Joy, Psal. 42.2. Psal. 63.1. Psal. 143.6. Psal. 17. ult, Psal. 43.4.
