First, from the ground, sixe great cubits, or sixe yards and an halfe upward, was the wall that was the foundation and supporter of these chambers, just the height of the doore at the East end, and of the cloisters on either side it: and of the wall of the house which he measured, vers. 5. and which was carved with Cherubims and Palme-trees, vers. 20.
