expone , collectively, but distributively, as wee say, all the Congregations in Scotland met, , in one, every Lords day, that is, every one of the Congregations is in one place, but the sense is not that all the Congregations collective∣ly are in one place. And wee may justly aske what this place was which was shaken, it is not like that it was the Temple, that which should have beene more prodigious like, and pre∣saged a ruine to the Temple, would not have beene concealo by the holy Ghost, for it would have more terrified the Jewes, and the Temple is never called sine adjecto, without some other thing to make it bee knowne to bee the holy place, if it was a private house, give us leave to say it could not containe five thousand to heare prayer, farre lesse a more numerous mul∣titude.Wee reit it to the judgement of the wise, if the Apostles were so lazie to propagate the Gospell, that where twelve of them were present undoubtedly, Act. 4. 23 31.
