2. I come to resolve the Question, according to what I think in my conscience to be the truth of God; and this I shall do two ways.
1. By granting that which must not be denied. 2. By denying what must not be granted.
1. By granting what must not be denied; and here I grant willingly these four things.
1. That in the time of the Gospel, it is not only lawful, but it is often very commendable and necessary, to design and dedicate places unto God. Now when I say, it is lawful to design them, and to dedicate them. I pray you bear me witness, I do not say it is lawful to consecrate them, or to sanctify them; and say, it is lawful to design and dedicate them. Now for this take notice, that between 1. the designing and appointing of a place; 2. the dedication of a place: and 3. the consecrating of a place, there are these differences.
