Answer.
You do not forget, that the Ark was three Hundred Cubits Long, fifty cubits ••oad, and thirty cubits High; (the proportion found in the Exact Body of a MAN) […] so it contained 450000 Square Cubits within the Walls of it, if we don't abate ⟨p. 28⟩what was taken away in the Sloping of the Roof. Suppose the cubits to be the Holy, which were Seven Hands Breadth, where as the Vulgar was but six, and you behold here a Vessel which might carry more than Forty Two Thousand Tuns, allowing two thousand Weight unto the Tun.
