And hee said vnto me, To measure Ierusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof. 3And behold, the Angel that talked with me, went foorth, and another Angel went out to meete him: 4And said vnto him, Run, speake to this young man, saying; Ierusalem shall be inhabited as townes without walles, for the multitude of men and cattell therein. 5For I, saith the Lord, will be vnto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. 6¶ Ho, ho, come foorth, and flee from the land of the North, saith the Lord: for I haue spread you abroad as the foure windes of the heauen, sayth the Lord.
