IV. The Ark had a Crown of Gold round about it; signifying the Majesty of Christ's Kingdom, or his Regal Power.
V. The two Tables were in the Ark, the Ark kept them: which might signify Christ's keeping the Law perfectly for us, and deliver us thereby from the Curse of it.
VI. When the Ark was set in the Temple of Dagon, Dagon fell down and broke to pieces: So when Christ, and his Truth, are set up in a Man's Heart, or a Nation, Sin and Idolatry will go down.
VII. Where the Ark was, there was the Glory of God; and when that departed, the Glory of God departed: So where Christ's blessed Truth and Gospel is, there is the Glory of God, but when Christ leaves a People, takes away his Gospel, the Glory of God goes from that People.
