&_o about_o it_o twelve_o mountain_n of_o one_o figure_n and_o of_o another_o of_o who_o the_o first_o be_v black_a as_o soot_n the_o second_o bear_v without_o herb_n the_o three_o full_a of_o thorn_n and_o thistle_n the_o four_o have_v herb_n half_o wither_v of_o who_o the_o upper_a part_n be_v green_a but_o that_o next_o to_o the_o root_n wither_a also_o some_o herb_n when_o the_o sun_n have_v wax_v hot_a become_v wither_v 4_o the_o five_o mountain_n be_v most_o rough_a but_o it_o have_v green_a herb_n the_o sixth_o mountain_n be_v full_a of_o cleft_n with_o some_o lesser_a but_o with_o some_o great_a but_o in_o these_o cleft_n there_o be_v herb_n not_o very_o sprightly_a indeed_o but_o they_o seem_v as_o if_o flag_a but_o the_o seven_o mountain_n have_v delectable_a herb_n and_o be_v all_o fertile_a and_o every_o kind_n of_o cattle_n and_o fowl_n of_o heaven_n do_v take_v food_n thereof_o and_o how_o much_o they_o do_v feed_v of_o it_o by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o joyous_a do_v the_o herb_n grow_v up_o 5_o the_o eight_o mountain_n be_v fill_v with_o fountain_n and_o out_o of_o these_o fountain_n be_v water_v the_o whole_a kind_n of_o the_o creature_n of_o god_n the_o nine_o mountain_n have_v no_o water_n at_o all_o and_o be_v all_o destitute_a but_o also_o it_o nourish_v deadly_a serpent_n and_o pernicious_a to_o man_n the_o ten_o mountain_n contain_v high_a tree_n and_o be_v all_o shady_a and_o under_o its_o shade_n the_o cattle_n do_v lie_v rest_v and_o chew_v the_o cud_n 6_o the_o eleven_o mountain_n be_v replenish_v with_o most_o thick_a set_v tree_n and_o these_o tree_n be_v see_v lade_v with_o divers_a fruit_n so_o that_o whosoever_o shall_v see_v will_v desire_v to_o eat_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o they_o the_o twelve_o mountain_n be_v all_o white_a and_o have_v a_o most_o delectable_a aspect_n and_o itself_o afford_v to_o itself_o great_a comeliness_n 7_o but_o in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o field_n he_o show_v i_o a_o white_a and_o mighty_a rock_n which_o have_v arisen_a from_o out_o the_o field_n itself_o and_o that_o rock_n be_v high_a than_o these_o mountain_n and_o four_o corner_a so_o that_o it_o can_v sustain_v the_o whole_a world_n but_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v old_a but_o it_o have_v a_o new_a gate_n which_o seem_v late_o hew_v out_o and_o that_o gate_n have_v a_o more_o bright_a splendour_n than_o the_o sun_n so_o that_o i_o admire_v exceed_o its_o light_n 8_o but_o about_o that_o gate_n stand_v twelve_o virgin_n of_o who_o four_o who_o hold_v the_o corner_n of_o the_o port_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v more_o worthy_a but_o also_o the_o rest_n be_v worthy_a but_o they_o stand_v in_o the_o four_o part_n of_o the_o gate_n moreover_o that_o be_v also_o for_o the_o grace_n of_o these_o virgin_n that_o they_o two_o and_o two_o be_v clothe_v with_o linen_n coat_n and_o decent_o gird_v about_o outward_o in_o their_o right_a arm_n as_o if_o about_o to_o lighten_v some_o burden_n so_o be_v they_o prepare_v for_o they_o be_v exceed_o cheerful_a and_o prompt_a 9_o these_o thing_n when_o i_o have_v see_v i_o admire_v with_o myself_o that_o i_o shall_v see_v so_o great_a and_o eminent_a thing_n and_o again_o i_o admire_v because_o of_o these_o virgin_n that_o they_o be_v so_o comely_a and_o delicate_a and_o shall_v stand_v so_o constant_o and_o strong_o as_o if_o about_o to_o support_v the_o whole_a heaven_n 10_o and_o while_o i_o think_v these_o thing_n within_o i_o that_o shepherd_n say_v to_o i_o why_o do_v thou_o dispute_v within_o thyself_o and_o be_v perplex_v and_o do_v add_v

not_o see_v be_v not_o perplex_v and_o receive_v the_o understanding_n of_o these_o which_o thou_o see_v leave_v off_o to_o be_v curious_a but_o i_o will_v demonstrate_v to_o thou_o all_o whatsoever_o i_o ought_v to_o show_v thou_o but_o now_o consider_v the_o rest_n 12_o and_o when_o he_o have_v say_v these_o thing_n to_o i_o i_o look_v up_o and_o behold_v i_o see_v come_v six_o tall_a and_o
