heed_n as_o unto_o a_o light_n that_o shine_v in_o a_o dark_a place_n until_o the_o day_n dawn_n and_o the_o day_n star_n arise_v in_o your_o heart_n and_o from_o hence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o

therefore_o a_o proper_a tabernacle_n for_o the_o divine_a word_n to_o dwell_v in_o also_o external_a ministration_n because_o man_n dwell_v in_o a_o elementary_a earthly_a and_o natural_a

earthly_a house_n the_o instrument_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v use_v in_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o ministerial_a word_n be_v either_o proper_a as_o some_o member_n of_o the_o church_n
