christ_n for_o shelter_n now_o i_o say_v in_o that_o john_n tell_v we_o this_o cubit_n wall_n be_v a_o hundred_o forty_o four_o cubit_n and_o wave_n the_o manner_n of_o the_o measure_n of_o ezekiel_n

though_o the_o saint_n will_v yet_o be_v imperfect_a and_o come_v short_a of_o a_o glorify_a state_n yet_o they_o by_o his_o absence_n will_v be_v deliver_v from_o many_o dreadful_a vex_v and_o burn_v
