And rounde aboute by the wall of ye house he buylded a compase, so yt it wente both aboute the temple and the quere, and made his outwarde wall roude aboute.

And whan ye house was buylded, it was buylded of whole and outbroken stones, so yt there was herde nether hammer ner axe, ner eny other instrument of yron, whan the house was a buyldinge.

But on the righte syde of the myddes of the house there was a dore, so yt they might go vp to the myddest stacion by a turne grese, & from the myddest stacion vnto ye thirde.

on the ynsyde was the whole house of Ceder with throwne knoppes and floures, so that there was no stone sene.

so that ye whole house was layed ouer with golde. And all the altare also before ye quere ouerlayed he with golde.

One wynge of ether of the Cherubs had fyue cubytes, so that from the edge of his one wynge to the edge of his other wynge there were ten cubytes.

Euen so had the other Cherub ten cubites also, and both the Cherubs were of one measure and of one quantitie

so yt ether Cherub was ten cubites hye. And he put the Cherubins within in the house.

And the Cherubins spred forth their wynges, so that the wynge of the one touched the one wall, and the other Cherubs wynge touched the other wall. But in the myddes of ye house the one wynge touched another.

So made he also at the intraunce of the temple, foure squared postes of Olyue tre,

and two dores of Pyne tre (so that ether dore had two syde dores one haginge to another)

and in the eleuenth yeare in the moneth Bul (that is the eight moneth) was the house fynished as it shulde be, so that they were seuen yeare a buyldinge of it.

so yt there stode euer thre pilers one right ouer agaynst another:

so that euery space betwixte the pilers was one ouer agaynst another foure squared with the pilers.

But the greate courte rounde aboute had thre rowes of fre stone, & one rowe of playne Ceders: Euen so also the courte by ye hou of the LORDE within, and the porch by the house.

And so stode it aboue vpon the pilers euen like roses. Thus was the worke of ye pilers fynished.

And it stode vpon twolue bullockes, wherof thre were turned towarde the north, thre towarde the west, thre towarde the south, and thre towarde the east, and the lauer aboue theron, so that all their hynder partes were within vnder the lauer:

The seate was made so, that it had sydes betwene the ledges.

And on the sydes betwene the ledges there were lyons, bullockes and Cherubins. And on ye ledges which were aboue and beneth the lyons and bullockes, were the sydes made so, that they were set downwardes.

And he made ten copper kettels, so that one kettell coteyned fortye Battes, and was foure cubites greate, and vpon euery seate was a kettell.
