this_o temple_n of_o god_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o church_n sure_o be_v very_o great_a church_n in_o that_o the_o heavenly_a wisdom_n that_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v commit_v to_o she_o in_o

that_o the_o work_v command_v by_o man_n be_v not_o the_o service_n of_o god_n of_o themselves_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n teach_v when_o he_o say_v 13._o in_o vain_a they_o worship_v i_o teach_v for_o

this_o threaten_a of_o the_o apostle_n do_v declare_v if_o any_o man_n do_v violate_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n he_o will_v god_n destroy_v but_o this_o temple_n be_v violate_v by_o idol_n and_o
