A sin of Hypocrisy in this,1 In that they would persecute those that would go to worship at the true Temple, and yet that they would bestow so much cost in building §1Temples of their own. And many of the Ancients have §2many large invectives against all such as shall bestow a great deal of outward buildings, and yet let the poor Saints want.

- 1Their sin in building Temples.
2. It was Superstition in them, they would not go to Jerusalem, to the Temple that God had appointed, yet they would set up Temples of their own. There are many that hate the true Temple, and the true Church, that is, the Communion of Saints, yet magnify the outward buildings, as if there were no other Church but only that. So the Jews,1 when God would have them build his own Temple there they were slack enough: in Hag. 2. 2. & 4. 9. vers. What a deal of stir had God by his Prophet to get them to build his Temple, but their own Temples they would build.
