Read Mark 11 in the Bible

Mark 11:16

Vessel through the temple.

◦ He could not abide to see the Temple of God profaned, no nor suffered those things to be done in it, which otherwise were not unlawful but honest, if they had been done in due place. How much less can he abide the profaning of Churches now with Heretical service and preaching of heresy and blasphemy?

  • ◦ Profaning of God's Church.

Mark 11:17

Den of thieves.

If the Temple was then a den of thieves, because of profane and secular merchandise: how much more now, when the house appointed for the Holy Sacrifice and Sacrament of the Body of Christ, is made a den for the Ministers of Calvin's bread?
