of_o heaven_n therefore_o the_o stone_n shall_v be_v a_o different_a kingdom_n from_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n for_o it_o be_v call_v the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n

the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o stone_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v consider_v as_o the_o five_o monarchy_n or_o as_o one_o main_a piece_n of_o it_o and_o though_o this_o stone_n fundamental_o be_v
