that_o moses_n have_v erect_v among_o the_o israelit_n and_o abide_v in_o that_o holy_a mountain_n but_o all_o be_v one_o in_o effect_n for_o why_o that_o tabernacle_n and_o that_o mount_v zion_n be_v a_o figure_n of_o the_o heavenly_a tabernacle_n and_o of_o eternal_a life_n as_o appear_v by_o infinite_a place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o that_o this_o be_v so_o to_o be_v understand_v may_v appéer_o by_o that_o that_o if_o he_o have_v mean_v only_o of_o the_o outward_a tabernacle_n and_o mount_n he_o will_v not_o have_v ask_v who_o shall_v dwell_v in_o they_o for_o they_o be_v
