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; but I 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.
