the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n in_o the_o eastern_a part_n 61._o mr._n gregory_n have_v thus_o establish_v his_o ground_n say_v that_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n plant_v a_o garden_n in_o

the_o world_n towards_o the_o rise_a sun_n yet_o damascen_n and_o barcephas_n say_v 13._o that_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o march_n the_o sun_n always_o rise_v direct_o over_o paradise_n meaning_n that_o the_o garden_n of_o eden_n be_v plant_v towards_o the_o aequinoctial_a east_n of_o the_o holy_a land_n and_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o be_v that_o the_o sanctum_fw-la sanctorum_fw-la of_o this_o mother_n church_n point_v towards_o that_o part_n of_o heaven_n where_o the_o sun_n rise_v in_o the_o month_n nisan_fw-la for_o the_o sanctuary_n of_o paradise_n be_v the_o recess_n of_o the_o

now_o this_o original_a principal_a and_o as_o it_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v everlasting_a ceremony_n by_o a_o error_n of_o the_o persian_a and_o chaldean_a worshipper_n degenerate_v into_o a_o idolatry_n of_o the_o sun_n abraham_n say_v the_o learned_a maimoni_n by_o divine_a inspiration_n appoint_v the_o west_n to_o his_o hebrew_n therefore_o the_o tabernacle_n and_o temple_n be_v set_v towards_o that_o side_n of_o heaven_n so_o that_o they_o do_v and_o they_o do_v not_o worship_v towards_o the_o west_n it_o be_v true_a all_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v offer_v up_o that_o way_n but_o all_o this_o while_n they_o worship_v no_o more_o towards_o the_o west_n than_o towards_o the_o north._n they_o worship_v towards_o the_o ark_n or_o towards_o the_o place_n of_o that_o and_o do_v so_o

conclude_v with_o a_o ancient_a profession_n of_o the_o eastern_a church_n who_o say_v we_o pray_v towards_o the_o east_n for_o that_o our_o lord_n christ_n when_o he_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n go_v up_o that_o way_n and_o there_o fit_v in_o the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n above_o the_o east_n according_a to_o david_n praise_v the_o lord_n who_o sit_v in_o the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n in_o the_o

that_o all_o this_o be_v to_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o aequinoctial_a east_n 13._o it_o be_v make_v out_o by_o moses_n barcephas_n in_o his_o discourse_n of_o paradise_n he_o say_v there_o that_o the_o

their_o terrestrial_a and_o celestial_a paradise_n with_o reference_n to_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n militant_a and_o triumphant_a the_o one_o under_o the_o sun_n on_o the_o earth_n the_o

logos_fw-la in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n than_o there_o since_o as_o he_o enlighten_v every_o man_n come_v into_o this_o world_n so_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o that_o aequinoctial_a east_n point_n equal_o diffuse_v its_o light_n over_o the_o whole_a habitable_a earth_n and_o hence_o we_o direct_v our_o divine_a worship_n that_o way_n and_o may_v conclude_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o terrestrial_a
