and_o by_o this_o you_o must_v be_v help_v to_o understand_v that_o scripture_n in_o heb._n 9_o 4._o 4._o which_o as_o some_o understand_v it_o seem_v to_o have_v some_o variety_n from_o this_o

that_o the_o incense_n must_v be_v burn_v upon_o this_o altar_n at_o that_o very_a time_n when_o the_o lamp_n be_v to_o be_v trim_v and_o light_v so_o you_o shall_v observe_v it_o in_o exod._n 30._o

what_o in_o we_o lie_v and_o thus_o i_o have_v a_o little_a digress_v and_o yet_o it_o be_v still_o for_o open_v of_o scripture_n to_o you_o to_o show_v unto_o you_o the_o meaning_n of_o god_n altar_n
