2. The Tabernacle had three places. 1. The outward Court, wherein stood the brazen Altar. 2. The Holy Place. 3. The Holiest of all. In the first, it typifies forth the visible or outward Form of the Church, in respect of the external Exercise of Religion and Worship, hither the common People may come. The second typified out the Spiritual State, or more close and holy Fellowship of the Church, which none have admittance into, but sincere and sanctified Persons, who feed upon the Spiritual and true Show-Bread, Jesus Christ. The third typified Heaven it self, or the Church of God triumphant, where Christ is set down in Glory, at the Father's right hand, to intercede for us.

3. The Entry to the Holiest of all, was by the Holy Place, and to the Holy place, was by the outer Court, &c. So our Entry into Heaven, is by being Members of the visible Church, through Faith, and a good Conscience. He that would enter into the Holiest of all, must first be Holy; and he that would come into a State of true Holiness, and Communion with God and his People, must learn to know where the Candlestick and true Show-Bread stands, which is the visible Church.
