| 41:7 una uni coniungitur et ne spiraculum quidem incedit per eas | 7 One is joined to another, and not so much as any air can come between them : |
| 41:8 una alteri adherebunt et tenentes se nequaquam separabuntur | 8 They stick one to another and they hold one another fast, and shall not be separated. |
