distant_a the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o the_o one_o in_o heaven_n the_o other_o on_o the_o earth_n god_n will_v have_v his_o image_n place_v in_o the_o two_o extremity_n of_o the_o world_n as_o

the_o heaven_n the_o earth_n the_o sea_n yet_o have_v give_v no_o general_a name_n to_o signify_v the_o whole_a world_n god_n have_v give_v particular_a name_n to_o all_o the_o great_a piece_n of_o
