From a manuscript project that is slatted for the Naphtali Press Special Editions launch if there is enough interest.
"Entered into her sanctuary” [Lam. 1:10]. ... But when they defiled the house of the Lord, these wild savage pagans are let in to defile, break down and demolish all that was in it. We see how grievous a change it is for professors [of religion] to abuse and profane the means of God’s worship, for it makes those who are without religion also to be masters of them and their religion also.
Application. Will thou then expose God’s people and His glory to shame? He shall expose both thee and it to shame, for there is nothing so dear to God but He will put it in the hand of enemies when His people pollute it. He will pull away the hedge from about His worship when His worship is defiled."
