When the Ark was brought among the Philistines, and the Bethshemites would be so bold as to look into it, the Lord smote fifty thousand of them for it. What was the reason of this? say they who shall stand before this holy Lord God. If the Lord were thus ready to revenge himself on them for profaning of that which was but a type, what will he do for profaning the body and blood of his Son? You know that is the comparison, Heb. 12. If any man transgressed against the Law of Moses, 1he received a recompense and reward: What will he do then to those that contemn the salvation that is brought by his Son? So if the Lord would do this for the profaning of the Ark that was but a type of Christ Jesus, but a legal rite, that had but a show of holiness; what will he do, when we shall neglect, and abuse and profane those things that are holy indeed?
