Our house) Or the houses of us, for the Catholick body is distinguished into sundry particular Congregations, or Churches, in every of which (as in sundry Nurce∣ries) the Saints are brought up and Nursed. The Church is called the house of God, 1 Tim. 3. 15. which is Interpreted to be the Church of the living God, the pil∣lar and ground of truth. And so the faithfull are called, the house of God, Heb. 3. 6. But what is this Palace? It cannot be so properly meant of Heaven, in which the Saints shall dwell for ever but rather of an house while they are yet in this World, and this house is the Church of Christ, she is the Temple of the living God. Every faithfull soule is the habitation of Christ; and hence it is, that the Psalmist calls upon men to open the doors of their heart to receive Christ: Lift up your heads yee gates, and be ye lift up yee everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in Psal. 24.
