First then, for Explanation, I shall here endeavour to open these two things to you; first, what it is for a place to be holy, or wherein the nature of the holiness of places consists: secondly, what that is that is the foundation ⟨p. 283⟩or cause of the holiness of places, and both these must in our discourse, and likewise apprehension, be accurately distinguished.
First then, for Explanation, I shall here endeavour to open these two things to you; first, what it is for a place to be holy, or wherein the nature of the holinesse of places consists: secondly, what that is that is the foundation ⟨p. 283⟩or cause of the holiness of places, and both these must in our discourse, and likewise apprehension, be accurately distinguish'd.
