permit. There in a G, from the centre three feet E

He was not buried in the Sanctum Sanctorum because
nothing common or unclean was allowed to enter
there, not even the High Priest, but once a year, nor
then until after many washings and purifications
against the great day of expiation for sins, for by the
Israelitish law all flesh was deemed unclean. The same
fifteen trusty PCs were ordered to attend the funeral
clothed in white aprons as emblems of their innocence
You have already been informed that the W.Ts with
which our M. was slain were the Plumb Rule. Level

the window that gave light to the same; and the Square
Pavement was for the High Priest to walk upon. The
High Priest’s office was to burn incense to the honour
and glory of the Most High, and to pray fervently that
the Almighty, of His unbounded wisdom and goodness,
would be pleased to bestow peace and tranquility upon
the Israelitish nation during the ensuing year. The C..
