and reverence Sanctuary] Or, feare my Sanctuary. The Sabbath is not to be profaned, because it is Gods holy day; nor the Sanctuary, because it is the place of his especiall presence, Gen. 28. vers. 16, 17. & Ecclesiastes 5:1. Some of the Hebrewes expound it thus; that though every place where prayer was made, and the law taught, were to be reverenced, yet especially was Jerusalem, because the Sanctuary was there; whence they gather that a dead man ought not to abide there all night, nor the bones of a dead man to be carried through it. But through both Sabbath and Sanctuary were to be used with reverence, the Sabbath was first and chiefly to be regarded; for there was a Sabbath before the Sanctuary was made; and for the keeping of the Sabbath holy, there was, and is an expresse precept in the Decalogue, not so for the Sanctuary. 3. The holinesse of the Sanctuary is gone, and the Sanctuary it selfe; therefore now in every place God will accept of a sincere service, Joh. 4. 21, 23, 24. of every one, 1 Timothy 2:8. It was therefore an absurd superstition in the one, and profanenesse in the other, when the Sanctuary, the place of worship was held in so great reverence by many of later times, that they would not come into it without demonstration, or ostentation of devotion, and reverence; especially in their approaches to the Altar, (as they Jewishly, or Popishly called the Lords Table) when they allowed carnall recreations on the Sabbath day, and those of that sort, whereof there is question at least, whether they were lawfull any day.
