The Angel, or Christ in the appearance of a man.

From the two opposite Angles of the inside North and South.

C. and for ought I see, the guess of Villa[illegible: 2 letters]. may be admitted, that the whole square was four times measured round about, from the East round, from the North round, &c. as this, the 17, 18, and 19 verses repeat it.
