25 The 4. is from the examples of Samuel & Menoha, 1but they make nothing for them. For although Samuel's sacrifice were against the law, and yet it pleased God, yet was it not a second altar to set against the only altar, but because the place was not appointed for the Ark of covenant, he appointed & ordained the Town where he dwelled, for Sacrifice, but his mind was ⟨image 232⟩not to make invocation in holy things where as GOD hath forbidden any thing to be added or diminished.
