which_o you_o make_v to_o yourselves_o contra_fw-la ver_fw-la 44_o of_o act._n 7._o the_o tabernacle_n which_o moses_n make_v as_o he_o have_v appoint_v and_o it_o seem_v by_o the_o sacred_a history_n

the_o church_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v call_v jerusalem_n gal._n 4.26_o but_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v above_o be_v free_a which_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o we_o all_o rev._n 21.2_o i_o see_v
