another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the

whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door mov-

ed at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with

smoke. Then said I, Wo is me! for I am undone; because I

am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people

of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of

.hosts. Then new one of the seraphims unto me, having a live
