much lesse with vnlawfull
pastimes and enterludes, it is a place for praise, not for playes,
_O praise God in his sanctuarie_.

Or (as [cc]_Martine Luther_ interprets it) praise God _in his
sanctuarie_, that is, _for his sanctuarie_, for [cd]shewing his word
vnto _Iacob_, his statutes and ordinances vnto _Israel_, for his
adoption, and his couenants, and his promises, and his seruice, Rom.
9. 4. O praise the Lord for his [ce]true Church established for the
present among the Iewes, and hereafter in the fulnesse of time to be
constituted among Christians vntill the worlds end. For this clause may
bee construed of the mysticall heauen and temple, so well as of the
materiall heauen and temple. The good man (I meane the true Christian)
is not only Gods [cf]house, but also Gods [cg]temple, yea, Gods heauen,
as [ch]_Augustine_ expounds the words of Christ, _Our father which art
in heauen_, that is, in holy men of heuenly conuersation, in whose
sanctified hearts hee dwelleth as in his [ci]sanctuarie. _Archimedes_
in his conference with _Hiero_ said, _Giue me a place where I may stand
out of the world, and I will moue the whole earth_. In like manner, he
that will bee reputed a Saint, and so take vpon him to remoue men
earthly minded from their worldinesse, must himselfe at the least haue
one foote out of the world, seeking (as the blessed [ck]Apostle speakes)
the things aboue, that [cl]other may see his good workes, and glorifie
God which is in Heauen, that is (according to the true soule of our
text) _praise God in his Saints_ which are his sacrarie, his sanctuarie,
his house, his heauen.
