the Court of the Tabernacle] Which compassed the Tabernacle on all sides: which was an uneven square, for it was an hundred cubits, or fiftie yards long, and fiftie cubits, or twentie five yards broad, and five cubits, or two yards and an halfe high, which had for walles hangings of fine linen, borne up by pillars of brasse. In this Court and about the midst from the Tabernacle to the outside of it, was placed the Altar, in the open ayre, that the flame and fume of the sacrifice might have free vent without hurt or offence. Of this Court fiftie cubits from the East end toward the Sanctuary, were for the sacrifices which were tendered by the people, in the part neerest to the entrance, and offered by the Priests towards the furthest part of the fiftie cubits, and about ten cubits distant from the Tabernacle: for so many cubits was it off the Altar on the East side, and so many from the walles, or hangings of the Court, on the West side, and twentie cubits on the North, and as many on the South side. In this spacious Court there was receipt for all Professours of Religion, whether sincere or hypocriticall, and so it was a type of the Church visible in the world.
