Thirdly, We must not pry into the Ark: this was the sin of the men of Bethshemesh, 1 Sam. 6. 19. They looked into the Ark, and God smote them, and cut off fifty thousand and threescore men. Be not too curious in searching where God hath not discovered or revealed; For example, there be great thoughts of heart, when God will deliver his people, and set his Churches at liberty; And many men talk much of the year 1666. that shall be the year wherein Antichrist shall be destroyed: And there are strange impressions upon the hearts of many learned men, as to this year; some go to the year 1669. and others pitch upon other times; but truly, if you will have my judgement, and I am glad of this opportunity to tell you, This is to pry too much into the Ark: Remember the Text, Act. 1. 17. It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father hath put in his own power. And thus to conclude upon any particular time, if you find you are deceived, it is the way to make you Atheists, and that afterwards you shall believe nothing: And those Ministers do no service, or rather ill service to the Church of God, that conclude of times and seasons.
A Popish Author saith, that in the year […] […], there was a general belief over the Christian world, that the day of judgement should be that year; but when they saw it happened not, they fell to their old sinning again: and were worse then before, and believed nothing. Well Gods time is the best, therefore let not us pry too much into the Ark.
