2.  This  temple  thus  open,  anon  the  ark  of  God's  holy
testament  was  seen  therein.    Christ  sheweth  himself  in  his  own
colours,  when  the  gospel  is  truly  received ;  which  is  that  ark,
wherein  all  the  riches  of  God's  covenants  and  the  precious
treasure  of  his  promise  is  reposed,  to  man's    behoof  ;   and
specially  those  by  whom  we  are  reconciled  and  saved.     By
him  are  we  only  brought  to  God's  favour  again,  and  graciously
redeemed :  yea,  all  the  sort  of  us  have  received  of  his  abun-
dant and  overflowing  fulness.     The  sight  of  this  ark  in  the
temple  is  none  other  than  a  clear  knowledge  of  him  in  his
congregation.    So  oft  are  his  mysteries  evident,  as  this  temple
is  opened :   so  many  times  are  they  known  as  his  word  is
truly  taught.
3.  And  no  small  fruit  is  to  be  thought  to  come  thereof.
