1. More generally, The holiness of a place doth consist in the separation thereof, the setting it apart, the distinction and discrimination in the way of some excellent preeminence, or the exa•ting of it before and above all other places: Thus the notion of the holiness of places is taken in Scripture, Exod. 30. 31, 37, 38. you shall there read, that the Lord tells them in the 31. verse, concerning the ointment that he prescribed, and likewise the composition of it for his service, This shall be an holy anointing •yl unto me throughout your generations. Now see how God doth discover this to be holy, On mans flesh it shall not be poured, neither shall you make any other like it after the composition of it.

And in Deut. 7. 6. and 14. 2. you have there the very same things described and discovered to you. And now for this I shall desire you to take notice of comparing two places of Scripture, which discovers the holiness of places, in
