Bradwardin doth intimate, de caus. Dei, l. 1. c. 25. those words in the fifth vers. Shalt thou build me, &c. Diodati thinks to be words of admiration, rather than reprehension. And the 7th. v. Spake I word, &c. God had often said in his Law, that he would choose himself a place, but had not expressed where or when it should be; and therefore lovingly admonisheth David to wait for this expression. Thus Diodati. But this still intimateth that David took the word for his ground. Hence Psal. 32.5. Until I find a place for the Lord. David useth the same word which Moses doth in Deut. 12.11.

For their Ordination by imposition of hands, this he proves out of Mr. Selden. For their power and office, he proves that Christ owned it, Mat. 23.2, 3. Though the Scripture had determined nothing about it.
