that_o cavilled_a with_o christian_n about_o the_o ark_n and_o the_o answer_n be_v as_o ancient_a as_o the_o heresy_n namely_o first_o that_o the_o cubit_n of_o the_o ark_n must_v be_v understand_v of_o the_o egyptian_a cubit_n which_o be_v with_o some_o six_o foot_n and_o with_o other_o nine_o foot_n by_o which_o measure_n the_o ark_n will_v be_v in_o length_n half_a a_o mile_n at_o the_o
