The People having received the Law in the Wilderness, and therein a Foundation § 1 being laid of their future Church-State and Worship, which was to continue unt•• the Times of Reformation, Heb. 9.10. they had also by Gods direction a place and Building for the seat of that Worship assigned unto them. This was the Tabernacle erected in the Wilderness, suited to their then moving state and condition; into the Room whereof, the Temple built afterwards by Solomon succeeded, when they had attained a fixed station in the Land of Promise. Our Apostle respecting the Ordinances of that Church, as first instituted by Moses, which the Hebrews boasted of as their privilege, and on the account whereof, they obstinately adhered unto their observation, insists only on the Tabernacle; whereunto the Temple and its services were referred and conformed. And this he doth principally, Chap. 9 v. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Then verily the first Covenant had also Ordinances of divine Service, and a worldly Sanctuary. For there was a Tabernacle made, the first wherein was the candlestick, and the Table, and the Show-bread; which is called the Sanctuary. And after the second Veil, the Tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all, which had the Golden Censor, and the Ark of the Covenant, overlaid round about with Gold, wherein was the Golden Pot that had Manna, and Aaron's Rod that budded, and the Tables of the Covenant: And over it the Cherubims of Glory shadowing the Mercy Seat.
