so_o order_v their_o journey_n of_o purpose_n and_o as_o for_o their_o buy_a water_n of_o the_o edomite_n present_o upon_o the_o smite_v of_o the_o second_o rock_n at_o kadesh_n it_o may_v be_v say_v

now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n i_o propound_v wherein_o this_o manna_n and_o this_o rock_n be_v spiritual_a that_o be_v sacramental_a and_o this_o be_v in_o regard_n they_o be_v sign_n
