The holie Ghost signifieng this, that the way of the holies ••as ∴ not yet manifested, the former tabernacle yet stand∣ing.
The way to heauen was not open before Christs passion, and therfore
the Patriarks and good men of the old testament were in some other place of rest vntill then.

What maketh this for your dream of shutting the fathors out of heauen, and causing them to go séeke another place of rest? Was not Christ the lambe slaine from the beginning of the world? And was not faith in his blood as auailable to the fathers, as to vs?
