iii_o thing_n necessary_a to_o be_v know_v by_o a_o spiritual_a seaman_n according_a to_o the_o point_n of_o his_o compass_n the_o first_o thing_n which_o god_n make_v be_v light_a and_o the_o first_o

my_o discourse_n which_o indeed_o be_v the_o occasional_a ground_n of_o these_o contemplation_n and_o answerable_a to_o the_o general_a point_n of_o the_o compass_n i_o shall_v hint_n such_o thing_n

this_o account_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o four_o head_n of_o truth_n to_o be_v know_v according_a unto_o the_o principal_a point_n of_o the_o compass_n and_o in_o allusion_n unto_o they_o i_o shall_v make_v god_n my_o north_n christ_n my_o east_n holiness_n my_o south_n and_o death_n my_o west_n point_v now_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o my_o allusion_n be_v this_o jerusalem_n have_v be_v general_o conceive_v to_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o some_o have_v call_v it_o the_o navel_n of_o the_o world_n for_o as_o the_o navel_n be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o body_n so_o say_v they_o be_v jerusalem_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o especial_o in_o scripture-notion_n and_o language_n place_n have_v their_o denomination_n of_o situation_n according_a as_o they_o lie_v about_o or_o stand_v with_o reference_n unto_o jerusalem_n eye_v therefore_o jerusalem_n as_o our_o centre_n i_o remember_v that_o on_o the_o north-side_n of_o it_o be_v the_o city_n of_o the_o great_a king_n on_o the_o east_n the_o mount_n of_o olive_n on_o which_o christ_n stand_v when_o he_o come_v at_o first_o to_o that_o city_n and_o on_o which_o he_o shall_v stand_v when_o he_o come_v again_o zach._n 14.4_o on_o the_o southside_n be_v mount_n zion_n call_v the_o mountain_n of_o holiness_n psal_n 87.1_o and_o on_o the_o westside_n be_v mount_n calvery_n and_o the_o valley_n of_o dead_a man_n bone_n upon_o this_o account_n it_o be_v i_o shall_v make_v my_o allusion_n to_o the_o north_n for_o god_n to_o the_o east_n for_o christ_n to_o the_o south_n for_o holiness_n and_o to_o the_o west_n for_o death_n now_o there_o can_v be_v no_o exception_n against_o this_o allegorical_a speculation_n as_o to_o the_o handle_n of_o the_o thing_n allude_v unto_o save_v only_o the_o first_o be_v not_o so_o clear_a viz._n that_o the_o north_n shall_v be_v for_o god_n it_o be_v clear_a enough_o to_o any_o eye_n that_o as_o to_o the_o other_o three_o particular_n there_o can_v be_v no_o ground_n to_o question_v their_o parallel_n but_o why_o the_o north_n shall_v be_v put_v by_o way_n of_o parallel_n for_o god_n may_v seem_v not_o so_o evident_a to_o clear_v that_o therefore_o consider_v that_o of_o psal_n 48_o 2._o beautiful_a for_o situation_n the_o joy_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n be_v mount_n zion_n on_o the_o side_n of_o the_o north_n the_o city_n of_o the_o great_a king_n the_o meaning_n of_o which_o i_o can_v conceive_v as_o some_o do_v viz._n that_o it_o speak_v of_o mount_n zion_n as_o if_o that_o be_v on_o the_o north-side_n of_o jerusalem_n our_o map_n and_o geographer_n show_v the_o contrary_a mount_v zion_n be_v on_o the_o south_n but_o i_o take_v it_o thus_o that_o on_o the_o north-side_n of_o zion_n be_v the_o city_n of_o the_o great_a king_n i._n e._n jerusalem_n or_o that_o part_n which_o be_v call_v the_o city_n lay_v northward_o of_o zion_n as_o josephus_n and_o other_o attest_v and_o so_o when_o it_o be_v say_v the_o joy_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n be_v mount_n zion_n on_o the_o side_n of_o the_o north_n the_o city_n of_o the_o great_a king_n the_o meaning_n be_v clear_a that_o the_o north_n side_n of_o zion_n be_v the_o city_n of_o the_o great_a king_n hence_o i_o conceive_v be_v that_o speech_n of_o the_o pride_n of_o lucifer_n who_o when_o he_o will_v exalt_v his_o throne_n above_o the_o star_n of_o god_n add_v he_o will_v sit_v also_o in_o the_o side_n of_o the_o north_n isa_n 14.13_o i._n e._n on_o the_o side_n which_o be_v account_v god_n which_o if_o it_o
