- 15. Prop.
So doth God;1 where-ever he plants a Church there doth he fix his habitation, intending there to dwell, Psal. 46. 5. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved. Thus God came to dwell upon his own Fee and Inheritance, in Judea, Levit. 26. 11, 12. And I will set my tabernacle amongst you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people. Which promise is again renewed to his Churches of the New Testament, 2 Cor. 6. 16. And when the Churches shall be in their greatest flourish, and purity, then shall there be the fullest and most glorious manifestation of the divine presence among them, Rev. 21. 3. And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and be their God. Hence the Assemblies are called, the places of his feet—And there they behold the beauty of the Lord, Psal. 27.
