a_o man_n thrive_v in_o sin_n the_o devil_n will_v serve_v he_o in_o prosperous_a success_n above_o that_o his_o heart_n can_v desire_v this_o be_v his_o proper_a power_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o

such_o as_o if_o you_o look_v at_o their_o authority_n they_o have_v a_o kingdom_n among_o man_n the_o prince_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n under_o he_o national_a prince_n these_o have_v
