And as for the Temple, it was indeed very holy, the Jews rested much thereupon: And therefore they cried thrice,1 The Temple, the Temple, the Temple of the Lord: But now if you look into the 6. Chap. of Isaiah, you shall find that our Lord Christ is there upon the Temple; and whereas ⟨p. 7⟩they cried Three times for the Temple, The Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord: Three times this is echoed concerning Christ, Holy, holy, holy. (At the first verse) I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His Train filled the Temple; His Train filled the Temple. Above it stood the Seraphims: each had six wings, with twain he covered his face, with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly, and one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy. As if he should say: you that are the Jews, you cry out of the Temple; The Temple, the Temple, the Temple: But here's holiness, here's one that is holy, Holy, holy, holy. That this is to be understood of Christ, you may see plainly, by comparing it with the 4. Chapter of the Revelations, at the 2. verse: Immediately I was in the Spirit: and behold, a Throne was set in Heaven, and one sate on the Throne. (as it is said in Isaiah) one sate on the Throne. And he that sate was to look upon as a Jasper, and a Sardine stone: And there was a rain-bow round about the Throne: And round about the Throne were four and twenty Seats, and there were four and twenty Elders, and four living creatures: (The description of the Gospel-Church) And (saith he at the 8. verse:) The four beasts had each of them six wings about him, and they were full of eyes within, and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy. (Mark) the very same expression that you have there in Isaiah: he doth not say thus, Righteous, righteous, righteous; Just, just, just: But Holy, holy, holy. Is there not then a fullness of Holiness in Jesus Christ?
And as for the Temple, it was indeed very holy, the Jews rested much thereupon: And therefore they cryed thrice,1 The Temple, the Temple, the Temple of the Lord: But now if you look into the 6. Chap. of Esay, you shal find that our Lord Christ is there upon the Temple; and whereas ⟨p. 7⟩
