The manner. Through the gates.
Not singularly a Gate, but gates. For Chap. 21. the City is said to have ftwelve gates. On the East three gates, on the North three, on the South three, and on the West three. ⟨p. 258⟩To declare that men shall come from all the corners of the World, gfrom the East, and from the West, from the North, and from the South; and shall sit down in the Kingdom of GOD. These Gates are not literally to be understood, but mystically; Pro modo intrandi, for the manner of entrance. The gates are those passages, whereby we must enter this City.
