Of the Temple built by King Solomon at Jeruſalem.
THe glorious Fabrick of Solomon's Temple at Jeruſalem, was the firſt Houſe in the whole World, that was ever dedicated to the Honour and Service of the Sacred Majeſty of the true and Living GOD: which for ſtately Magnificence, and the Antiquity of its foundation, doth moſt juſtly challenge praecedency to all Buildings, ſet apart for publick Worſhip, in any Nation under the Sun. For the delineation of this ancient and pompous Structure, once beautifying the Land of Canaan, that I may proceed in ſome clear method, Let me lay the Scene of the enſuing Diſcourſe in this following frame.
Firſt of all, I ſhall contrive the Porch or Proem of the Tract, expoſing to view the grand and famous preparations for the Building; which being abſolved in the firſt Chapter, I ſhall then deſcend to the main body of the work in nine ſucceeding Chapters, wherein may be treated, P 20: 1.
In the 2d place, concerning its Dimenſions and Figure. P: 15.
3. The Courts and Buildings round about it. P: 35.
4. The Ornaments and Utenſils. P: 57.
5. The Services and conſtant Worſhip therein managed. P: 91.
6. The Endowments and Revenues. P: 128.
7. The Solemn Dedication. P: 130.
8. The Continuance and Duration. P: 140.
9. The myſtical Significations. P: 166.
10ly and laſtly, Its fatall Period and Diſſolution. Of all which, when I ſhall (by Divine permiſſion) have finiſhed my Diſcourſe in this its deſigned order, a period ſhall be fixed to this Treatiſe. P: 364.
