8:24 Hast kept - That branch of thy promise concerning the buildingof this house by David's son.

8:25 Keep - Make good the other branch of thy promise.

8:27 But will - Is it possible that the great, and high, and loftyGod should stoop so low, as to take up his dwelling amongst men?The heaven - All this vast space of the visible heaven.And heaven, &c. - The third and highest, and therefore the largest heaven,called the heaven of heavens for its eminency and comprehensiveness.Contain - For thy essence reacheth far beyond them, being omnipresent.Much less - This house therefore was not built as if it wereproportionable to thy greatness, or could contain thee, but only thattherein we might serve and glorify thee.

8:28 Yet - Tho' thou art not comprehended within this place, yet shewthyself to be graciously present here, by accepting and granting my presentrequests here tendered unto thee.
