2. There was Pollution or Uncleanness of Places; the House of a Leper was unclean, and his Garments unclean. So there was Holiness of Places, the Sanctuary was holy, the Temple was holy, which were either by external Consecration, or typically so: But now there is no Place so unclean nor holy. In Gospel-times there's no such Consecration of Places, Persons or Things.
3. Vessels were unclean, and Vessels were holy, but not so under this Dispensation.
4. All the whole House of Israel was holy by way of Legal Separation, or Consecration to the Lord, tho they were wicked Persons in respect of Spiritual Sanctification; but no Member of the Gospel-Church that is a false Professor, is accounted holy, or called holy by the Lord, holy now, because not allowed by the Gospel to be a Member. They are not consecrated to the Lord, or set apart as Members of a Congregational Church under the Gospel, tho such were, if Israelites, and of the Jewish Church, called holy by the Lord. Then these things being so, as indeed and in truth it is acknowledged to be, and that by our Godly Brethren, whether Presbyterians or Independents, what is become of your Exposition of this Text?
