And there be four Reasons, why the people of God are so much troubled when the Ark of God is in danger.
Reas. 1. Because of the great love they bear to the Ark of God; As God loveth the gates of Zion, more then all the dwellings of Jacob, Psal. 87. 2. So the people of God love the Ordinances of God, and the faithful Ministers ⟨p. 20⟩of Christ, Psal. 26. 8. Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. Psal. 27. 4. One thing have I desired of the Lord, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his Temple. Now, love stirreth up the affections: As young Croesus, though he were dumb, yet seeing his Father like to be Killed, cried out, Do not kill my Father: Such is the love of the Saints of God to the Ark, that they cannot be silent, they cannot but tremble when they see the Ark in danger: And for Scions sake they cannot hold their peace: and they cannot be silent until the Lord make the Righteousness thereof go out like brightness, and the Salvation thereof as a Lamp that burneth.

So the people of God love the Ordinances of God, and the faithful Ministers ⟨p. 20⟩of Christ, Psal. 26. 8. Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
