    Noble orders Among Men, the Nine
    parts of speech and the Nine Muses.
    When I look upon the 8. eight
    It puts me in mind of the " Beatitudes, the Eight Persons Saved in Noahs Ark, and the Eight Persons brought from Death to Life.
    When I look upon the 7 Seven.
    I puts me in mind of the Seven administring Spirits Standing before the Throne of God.
    The Seven Angels with the Seven bials in their hands, filled with Indignation of the Lord which was to plague the Earth.
    When I look upon the Six (6)
    It puts me in mind of the six
    petitions contained in the Lords Prayer.
    The Six Days I am to work for my Bread.
    And Im appointed to keep the 7th Day Holy.
