It's hard to find in any Scripture these very words in ter minis before this time: and therefore Augustin thinks it was only the word God spake but not written, and so they had it from hand to hand by tradition as many other things, as the Prophecy of Enoch that the Apostle Jude speaks of, you do not find it written in the Book of God, and yet the Apostle speaks of it, so that indeed it was from hand to hand: yea and we find in the New Testament when Paul speaks of a thing that Christ should say, how that our Lord saith, It is a more blessed thing to give then to receive; you find it not recorded in the Gospels that Christ said so. So, this is that which the Lord said, though it was not written from the beginning of Genesis to this very place, or otherwise though it be not recorded in express terms, yet something is recorded to the same purpose and effect: and so it may seem to have reference to that Scripture Exod. 29. 43. there ⟨p. 5⟩we have a Scripture comes as near to it as any I know. And there will I meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory, that's as much in effect, as I will be sanctified in those that come nigh me, in those that come to Worship me in my Tabernacle, I will be sanctified in all things that concern my Worship, I will be sure to be sanctified there.
