               and another wheele by another Cherub, and the man, these are the men that imagine mischiefe,
               appearance of the wheeles was as the colour of and deuise wicked counsell in this citie.     3  For
               a Chrysolite stone.  10  And their appearance (for  they say, It is not neere, let vs builde houses:
               they were all foure of one facion) was as if one  this citie is the caldron, and wee be the flesh.
