from_o the_o former_a and_o that_o it_o relate_v neither_o to_o the_o exactness_n of_o rule_n nor_o the_o compleatness_n of_o obedience_n but_o only_o to_o the_o largeness_n of_o the_o portion_n that_o god_n will_v allot_v for_o thy_o son_n and_o daughter_n thou_o city_n of_o god_n it_o be_v first_o because_o this_o be_v the_o big_a measure_n for_o i_o find_v by_o consider_v the_o scripture_n that_o as_o the_o person_n and_o thing_n pertain_v to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v to_o go_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o this_o golden_a reed_n so_o also_o the_o portion_n that_o pertain_v to_o the_o person_n worship_v be_v to_o go_v by_o rule_n and_o measure_n also_o as_o here_o he_o say_v he_o measure_v also_o the_o city_n or_o to_o it_o with_o the_o reed_n twelve_o thousand_o

our_o portion_n do_v 17_o go_v always_o under_o the_o big_a measure_n the_o spoon_n cup_n flagon_n snuffer_n basin_n candlestick_n and_o pan_n which_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o worship_n be_v not_o

the_o twelve_o thousand_o furlong_n to_o signify_v portion_n rather_o than_o worship_n or_o worshipper_n because_o as_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o it_o most_o exact_o agree_v with_o the_o portion_n that_o be_v measure_v out_o to_o this_o city_n by_o the_o angel_n before_o ezekiel_n which_o be_v a_o measure_n forth_o so_o much_o land_n for_o the_o portion_n of_o the_o prince_n so_o much_o for_o

that_o the_o description_n of_o this_o city_n give_v by_o ezekiel_n shall_v be_v more_o complete_a than_o this_o that_o be_v give_v by_o our_o prophet_n john_n for_o ezekiel_n do_v most_o ample_o

which_o john_n do_v see_v be_v measure_v out_o unto_o she_o immediate_o after_o he_o see_v the_o breadth_n of_o her_o rule_n and_o the_o length_n of_o her_o obedience_n only_o consider_v that_o
