the_o letter_n of_o moses_n be_v very_o consistent_a with_o itself_o for_o sith_o that_o the_o extent_n of_o heaven_n be_v not_o acknowledge_v any_o high_a than_o the_o cloud_n or_o thereabouts_o

the_o extent_n of_o the_o firmament_n according_a to_o moses_n be_v but_o the_o distance_n from_o the_o sea_n to_o the_o cloud_n or_o there_o abouts_o as_o well_o as_o it_o be_v to_o our_o sight_n
