conceive_v to_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o some_o have_v call_v it_o the_o navel_n of_o the_o world_n for_o as_o the_o navel_n be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o

of_o situation_n according_a as_o they_o lie_v about_o or_o stand_v with_o reference_n unto_o jerusalem_n eye_v therefore_o jerusalem_n as_o our_o centre_n i_o remember_v that_o on_o the_o

christ_n to_o the_o south_n for_o holiness_n and_o to_o the_o west_n for_o death_n now_o there_o can_v be_v no_o exception_n against_o this_o allegorical_a speculation_n as_o to_o the_o handle_n of_o the_o thing_n allude_v unto_o save_v only_o the_o first_o be_v not_o so_o clear_a viz._n that_o the_o north_n shall_v be_v for_o god_n it_o be_v clear_a enough_o to_o any_o eye_n that_o as_o to_o

of_o the_o north_n the_o city_n of_o the_o great_a king_n the_o meaning_n of_o which_o i_o can_v conceive_v as_o some_o do_v viz._n that_o it_o speak_v of_o mount_n zion_n as_o if_o that_o be_v on_o the_o north-side_n of_o jerusalem_n our_o map_n and_o geographer_n show_v the_o contrary_a mount_v zion_n be_v on_o the_o south_n but_o i_o take_v it_o thus_o that_o on_o the_o north-side_n of_o
