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.

1. Concerning the designation of a place; Then is a place designed, when it is appointed to be made use of for the most convenient for such a service, as Tuesday and Wednesday may be appointed for Lecture days, not consecrated. Now you must know, that this designation of a day may be altered, and so may a place; if such a place be designed, it is in our power to make use of it, so as to leave off the use of it when we please.
