* Munster South in Reubens Gate, Connaut West in Josephs Gate
* Ulster North in Dans Gate, Leinster East in Judahs Gate
* 5 For Albion in Eternity has Sixteen Gates among his Pillars
* But the Four towards the West were Walled up & the Twelve
* That front the Four other Points were turned Four Square
* By Los for Jerusalems sake & called the Gates of Jerusalem
* Because Twelve Sons of Jerusalem fled successive thro the Gates
* 10 But the Four Sons of Jerusalem who fled not but remaind
* Are Rintrah & Palamabron & Theotormon & Bromion
* The Four that remain with Los to guard the Western Wall
* And these Four remain to guard the Four Walls of Jerusalem
* Whose foundations remain in the Thirty-two Counties of Ireland
* 15 And in Twelve Counties of Wales, & in the Forty Counties
* Of England & in the Thirty-six Counties of Scotland

* Europe & Asia & Africa & America, in fury Fourfold!
* Continually Building. Continually Decaying because of Love & Jealousy
* And Thirty-two the Nations: to dwell in Jerusalems Gates
* O Come ye Nations Come ye People Come up to Jerusalem

* 45 And the Four Gates of Los surround the Universe Within and
* Without; & whatever is visible in the Vegetable Earth, the same
* Is visible in the Mundane Shell; reversd in mountain & vale
* And a Son of Eden was set over each Daughter of Beulah to guard
* In Albions Tomb the wondrous Creation: & the Four-fold Gate
* 50 Towards Beulah is to the South[.] Fenelon, Guion, Teresa,
* Whitefield & Hervey, guard that Gate; with all the gentle Souls
* Who guide the great Wine-press of Love; Four precious stones that Gate:
* Women the comforters of Men become the Tormentors & Punishers
