sure Castles and Towres are houses spacious and specious houses for the honour of the King and for the house of the Kingdome This migdol is magdil magnificans a magnificent house such hee hath built the World a publike house and common hall to all mankind naturally where heauen is the roofe the various clouds versatilia laquearia the Sunne the day light the Moone and Starres night-lamps the

is a naturall house to the soule the armes and legs as out houses the bellie breast and head as three courts of this goodly Palace the bellie or lower court as offices the breast as the hall great-chamber presence chappell where the heart receiues and performes her seruices the head or third court is a naturall Towre of this Palace mounted on a Mount another Citie in this Citie of Man a Capitoll at least a Senate-house or Councell-chamber a Microcosme of the Microcosme a Heauen to this litle Earth and abridgement both of the greater and lesse Worlds This house is fearfully and wonderfully made where euery Roome is animated liuing moouing and both roome to receiue and officer to act and performe all things seeth those that come to see it heareth the hearers and speaketh to

that now it is become the Palace of the strong man armed but a stronger then he hath come and become a Towre of saluation and by taking the infirmities repayred the ruines and breaches of this house caused by the fall and rebuilt it on himselfe for the habitation of God by the Spirit Hee made himselfe a Towre to make vs a Temple and spirituall house of liuing stones to offer sacrifices to God acceptable by Iesus Christ and hee made himselfe a Temple to make vs Towres against which the gates of a contrarie Towre the force and Forts of Hell should not preuaile And though some part of this Towre must haue a fall yet is it for an euerlasting reparation and wee know saith Saint Paul that if our earthly house of this Tabernacle bee dissolued wee haue a building of God a house not made with
