The fourth testimony given to Christ on the Cross before he died, was the miraculous rending of the Veil of the Temple from the top to the bottom: and that this fell out before the death of Christ, appears by Saint Luke, Chap. 23. 45.

The Temple had three rooms in it: the one more inward (as it were our Chancel) and into that room came only the High Priest once a year, and was called Sanctum Sanctorum, The Holy of Holies, and in that room was the Ark, and the Mercy Seat: The next to that was the Holy place (as it were the body of our Church) and into this place came the Priests only to offer sacrifice; for there was the Altar for burnt offering, and the Altar of Incense, and the Table of the Show-bread. Now without this was a third room whither the People came to worship, and was called the Court, and Solomons Porch: It is resembled by our Church porch; but it was a very great room, able to receive a multitude of people: Now the Veil was that parted the Holy of Holies from the Holy place, and was made of Blew, and Purple, and Scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work, hanged upon four pillars of Shittim wood over-laid with gold.
