the breastpiece heart peece or breastplate within the fouldings thereof was placed the greate name of the LORD GOD which name God himselfe had revealed to Moses by vertue and power whereof those holy letters with which hee would answer which were graven in the stones of the breastplate gave a pure and plaine glance from themselves in cleare plaine and glistering beames the breastplate was covered
